README

# RocketDuino
This is an Arduino Board designed for use in High-Powered model rockets.

(Picture Goes Here)

Features

- Parachute Deployment: Dual parachute deployment via high-power mosfets to route raw battery current directly through the ignitors. (Designed for 9v)
- GPS Tracking: On-board GPS used to verify hight measurements, get speed readouts, and know the location of the rocket.
- Telemetry: LoRa telemetry transmission with a maximum range of over 8km. This is used to relay location and height data to a ground control station to ease finding the rocket after parachute deployment.

Hardware

- MCU: Early versions (which were flown successfully) used a wemos D1 mini. However, the current version uses a Teensy LC as the main microcontroller. This change was made primarily to take advantage of the multiple hardware serial ports on the Teensy line.
- GPS: Works with any Serial GPS device that outputs classic NMEA messages, (GPGGA, etc) does NOT currently support the newer GNGGA messages. The PCB is designed to directly mount a uBlox NEO-M6N module. (Note that the config needs to be changes to output GPGGA, etc)
- Barometer: A BMP280 is used for more accurate real-time elevation measurement. Note that the Teensy is NOT 5v compliant, so you need the 3.3v BMP280 board.
- Telemetry: Data Transmission is done using a E32-433T30D 1W LoRa trasmitter, but any data transmitter with a serial interface should work, with only minor changes to the board. (The PCB is designed to mount the module directly.)
