# Tejas Flight Computer

# Software Design

> I prefer to sail in a bad ship with a good captain rather than sail in good ship with a bad captain.

TEJAS flight computer is to aid a model rocket with recovery and data logging. It is entirely based on arduino with MPU6050 and BMP280 for orientation and altitude data. The development of TEJAS FC took over 3 months. It was fundamentally designed with no blocking code so as to make it a fault taularent system to some degree.

## Challenges:

-   

-   Low memory

-   Less Processing Power

-   Delayed Apogge Detection

-   Realtime telemetry

## Flowchart

### Features of TEJAS 1.0:

-   

-   

-   Systems Check on Boot

-   Non Blocking Code

-   Log Flight Data - Black Box

-   Epic Star Wars Launch sound!

## TEJAS 2.0 A Open Source Rocket Flight Computer.
