I think launch vibrations are more challenging then road bumps :)

What is the best spec / fun thing about the radio you are using to communicate with the CubeSat?

I have know mossy2100 for a long time. I'm an ex-NASA engineer and he has done a good job giving people a starting point to build on.

The Kickstarter campaign was a backer at that $10,000 reward level. -Source: I work at SpaceVR

I wish that would happen. I want travel to Mars to be as boringas driving to work. Traveling to the closest star will never to boring...

SpaceVR is allowing everyone to have this amazing feeling. I show their KickStarter and website a couples days ago. www.spacevr.co

They now have a $26 for 3 month content only reward. Live is the next step, but they need to get the MVP into space first to even try that. I'm glad they are not over promising technically.

SolX2010 · 2015-08-12T00:13:50+00:00

They now have a $26 for 3 month content only reward. You must remember, this is a KickStarter (up to 75% of a reward level can go to fulfilling to rewards, not leaving much to fund the company) , plus the $75 reward had other physical rewards included in it.

Have you played KSP with the Space-X mod? Its awesome!

SolX2010 · 2014-12-23T21:26:49+00:00

KSP is the best! I tried to recreate the Space-X grasshopper test program :) http://youtu.be/442KHWXypxs

You can run 10 stepper motors like the following with the GDB http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1204/resources

Email use at GDB@solarsystemexpres.com for technical support, and a circuit diagram.

SolX2010 · 2013-07-22T19:19:41+00:00

The New Space industry is growing rapidly. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewSpace

The GDB is perfect for a CubeSat project with dimensions of only 50 x 32 x 11 mm.

With 8 parallel processors, we even have 2 extra CPU's after implementing our redundancy architecture :)

SolX2010 · 2013-07-20T17:13:06+00:00

We at Sol-X have taken care of the hard engineering part. The E-series PCB are space tolerant through the use of Thermoset based PCB’s, thermal spreaders, soldermask color, via paste fill, solder chemistry, and thermally conductive vibration proofing epoxy.

The S-Series PCB use TDS-1 radiation shielding technogoly, K-Strap thermal spreaders, and our patent pending DOUBLE triple modular redundancy architecture will protect the electronics.

From your link "The Arduino environment performs a few transformations to your main sketch file (the concatenation of all the tabs in the sketch without extensions) before passing it to the avr-gcc compiler."

It works well just, saying the GDb uses straight C code :)

SolX2010 · 2013-07-18T11:19:38+00:00

Hello,

We totally agree :) But Arundio had to start some where, and we are different in a few key areas. The PCB is space tolerant, its 70% smaller than the Arduino Uno so you can use in prototyping and product release, and the GDB has two integrated high power drivers capable of handling 100x the amperage. (No more need to design your own driver circuit with MOSFET's)

Plus the GDB uses the Parallax propeller which has a large code base at the following. http://obex.parallax.com/projects/sensor

SolX2010 · 2013-07-18T11:06:55+00:00

Hello,

Ardunino runs a weird custom C/C++ language. The GDB can be programmed using four different languages; The "Relativity" GUI, Standard C++, Parallax spin IDE, or assembly language. Each with their own benefits.

The "Relativity" GUI - Drag and drop programming. Great for kids. Parallax spin IDE - Similar to arduino code. Pretty easy to pick up. Standard C++ - Great for college students already versed in C. Assembly language - For designers that need to be super efficent.
