1 Development of a wireless telemetry system for model rocketry

2  To develop a wireless telemetry system for a model rocket using both a microcontroller and a Tri-Axial Accelerometer.  To develop a host PC app which is portable.  The info is passed from the microcontroller to the PC via wirelessly  The host PC program will manipulate the data.  Contingency to be carried out if the wireless connection breaks/out of range.

6  The Model rocket can log a 3 minute rocket flight to the flash at 7o samples per second.  An OK command is sent to the back to the Java App to acknowledge memory is full.  A streaming mode was considered if the connection never breaks.

7  The output for the accelerometer is still to noisy and can be reduced by implementing a band pass filter in Java.  This eliminates the hardware for the model rocket.  The accelerometer is powered for a coin cell of 3.3V

8  ToothPIC is powered by a 3.3V coin cell battery  Hardwired to the accelerometer.  Light Weight  Small  Under 100g

9  The electronics fits snugly into a model rocket.  Can be powered for a 3 minute flight can obtain data from the accelerometer  Removal of all unnecessary circuitry

10  PC Application that can configure the ToothPIC and take in command s from the user.  A Java Application that can graph a set of results  A Java Application that can read or write data to a text

11  Developed customised firmware for the ToothPIC  Unnecessary delay before in semester one in obtaining the chip  Lack of actual testing for software and the launch of rocket (should work in theory).

12 Any Questions ??
