View Full Version : Project ALTDuino
Everyone,
I've been working hard on this project for several months (since February).
The ALTDuino is a small homemade dual deploy altimeter.
I've documented the project here: www.ALTDuino.de (http://www.ALTDuino.de)
Comments on the website are welcomed.

You'll get to see it at Orangeburg in my Mongoose that I have to build on Friday before I drive down to the site on Saturday :D

I am dreadfully sorry you have to make another...
Very nice work on the altimeter! You could market it as a kit that we could solder together like old school !

Thanks Allen!
I haven't given up on the Mongoose in Columbia just yet ;) We need to make another visit :)
Very impressive indeed.
This is my first exposure to the Sparkfun Pro Mini. I have been dabbling with the AVR using this: http://www.xgamestation.com/view_product.php?id=46 but it is too big to be practical as flight hardware.

Thanks Bill.
Yes, it's a bit unpractical for model rocketry.
I've now incorporated a "Compare" function into the UI software. It is now possible to compare 2 flight profiles.
Here a demonstration of my altimeter from last weeks event at Freedom Launch in Orangeburg SC:

I built a rocket for my altimeter:

It was one of those builds that was a pain but it turned out nice nonetheless.
