It's fully compatible with the Arduino IDE, Platformio etc. Code is written in C++.
It's got a bunch of features that are sure to satisfy any model rocket enthusiast:
- Based on the SAMD51 microcontroller running at 120 MHz with 1MB of flash. (ATSAMD51J20A-MUT)
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) controllable. Send and receive data between the rocket and your phone.
- 3 Servo Channels ( Use two for thrust-vectoring and one for other stuff like a mechanical parachute ejection system!)
- 2 Pyro Channels capable of ingiting motor ignitors and nichrome wire. Fully PWM controllable for variable current control.
- 1 DC Motor driver for those times you need roll control with a reaction wheel.
- Runs on 2S and 3S LIPO batteries. 3S preferable (11.1 V)
- Includes an arming terminal to keep you safe from misfiring pyro channels.
- Six axis IMU (BOSCH BMI088) and Altimeter (MS560702)
- SD Card port so you can save your data!
- 16MB of external flash storage. Save data during flight (SD card connections can be sporadic during flight due to vibrations)
- RGB Neopixel LED and Buzzer
- Extra UART and I2C Connections in case you want to hook up external sensors like a GPS module!
Schematic preview
The board was designed using EasyEDA and fabricated using JLCPCB.
