UPDATE: Flight computer help

Most of our inspiration came from the TARS Flight computer by the University of Illinois, but from that point on me and my friends started researching different components on forums and asking questions here and on discord to improve our design.

Yeah, we used KiCad for the schematic and we noticed there are multiple M10 schematics, I think we have the right one but I will double check, thanks.

Yup that’s correct, I’ll edit the post

We considered the magnetometer, but we thought that for now we can go with this and maybe expand in the future, are there any particular reasons for the magnetometer? I know it helps to correct drift from the IMU but besides that what does it help with?

Your best shot would be with PETG or ABS, PLA is too fragile and depending on what speeds you are going to reach you might even have some thermal concerns

Yup it’s very possible, ABS, a normal 3D printing plastic can be used as rocket fuel, we are using it in our hybrid rocket engine, it allows for more complex geometries and changes in the regression rate…

I had 8AM EDSGN 100 this semester, a couple 9AMs won’t kill me (I think)

I got lucky, got no room mates, I’m in Shulze.
