Hi
I have an Arduino Uno R3, that has been gathering dust for a while. This afternoon I got it out and started coding.
Although I have a way to go yet, I have a project lined up for the future.
I am building a Model Rocket, what I thought of was using my Arduino Uno, for Accelerometer and Altimeter. I would also if possible like to use a camera for video footage.
I will need to write all the data to an SD card.
Is this too much for a single Arduino Uno or is it possible?
Hi cyberstu
Altimeter and accelerometer: yes. Video: no.
You can get relatively inexpensive hd video cameras with sd card recording.

Sparkfun has posted about doing this with a model rocket, but I can't for the life of me find it.
If your altimeter and accelerometer output analog signals, you can strap it on an xbee radio module and use a ground xbee radio unit to receive live data. No arduino needed.
There is another way to do it - see the video here

Ideally I would like to use an XBee, but that will be in the future. Im just wanting to learn the basics at the minute using an Arduino.
I havnt played with an XBee yet and feel it might be a bit complex for me at the minute.
I don't know all xbee knowledge, just enough for my projects. Here is what I found:
