A system so that my rocket can get precise altitude measurements, etc. I made it as a part of TARC and we used it for a lot of launches. It uses precise quarternion math and Mahony/Kalman filters in order to precisely predict apogee based on how fast the rocket is going and other attributes like drag, tilt, etc. It ended up being super accurate, but the rockets itself weren’t that good so we didnt advance :/ It came coupled with an air brake that pretty much deployed in order to slow down the rocket to the desired height. Designing and cadding that part was cool but the rocket exploded and came crashing down. Anyways you can see a rocket launch along with the data I retrieved using the software, and what the completed PCB looked like with the code! Thanks so much for looking at my project!
Used AI to help me understand some concepts since the math here is SUPER hefty, but I didn’t do any coding with it. Also used AI to write the readme 0_o
