Hello! I'm new to Arduino and have a question for anyone who can help!
I'm doing a school science project where I have to make a small rocket and launch it and test its speed, I was wondering what would be the best way (please remember that I'm brand new to this) to see the speed and acceleration. I was thinking of having an Arduino on top of the rocket in an enclosure with an accelerometer and a couple of other modules and batteries. Would this work? if not, what would?
I need to do the following things:
Measure Speed and Acceleration (Speed is the priority)
Need to store the data (about a 20-30 second flight at about 80 KPH)
Needs to be strong enough to survive a semi-rough landing
cheers!
Peter
