  • Finally a cheap flight computer that I can build. Good work.

    Thank you so much!

  • Dear Heer, me and my son had been working on a small model rocket that uses this flight computer to autonomously adjust its course in the air. I had a very easy time setting it up (in 20-24 minutes I finished). Then for the programming, I quickly made some small adjustments to the program which helped our rocket with stability. But in the end both me and my young son had a great time flying the rocket multiple times and I would like to say this is a cool project.

    Wow I'm pleased that you and your son had an amazing time building this flight computer and learning how different control values can change the control of the rocket!

  • Wait could I put this flight computer on my in-progress DIY RC plane for data logging and other possible autonomous actions?

    You absolutely could put it on a RC plane, but you might have to re-program some of the flight computer's autonomous control actions as this was meant to be on a model rocket rather than a plane.

  • After watching your Youtube video, will my model rocket flight have the same characteristics?

    Heer Patel 2024-06-06 19:11:17Reply

    Your model rocket flight path would vary depending on multiple factors such as weather and stability. But overall your roll control should be somewhat similar.

    Oh okay 👍

  • By the way thanks for the code documentation!

    Heer Patel 2024-06-04 22:18:40Reply

    No problem! Hope it made modifying the values in the main program a breeze!

  • The flight computer works great! But I was wondering if you could add a GPS Pico module to it because then I can track once it lands.

    Heer Patel 2024-06-04 22:17:05Reply

    Although I could add a GPS module, I realized that the Pico wouldn't be able to power the MPU6050 and BMP180 modules that I have added. Also the large amount of power needed would lead to a high power consumption causing a battery to potentially lose charge rather quickly.
