Avionics

Electronic design of an avionics for mini rockets.

Goals

  • Monitor flight data
    • Acceleration X,Y,Z
    • Rotation X,Y,Z
    • Pressure (for altitude)
    • Video
  • Separation sequences (separation of stage 2, of nose, ...)
    • 2-3 Pyro-channels
    • 2-3 Servos control channels
    • Electomagnets ?
    • Valves ?

Setup

On top of an ESP32C3 board connect an Extension Board. Both of wich are powered by a mini lithium battery. Other battery for igniter (min 1.5v)

Extension board for ESP32C3 (Micro Controler = µC)

  • Connect all the ports from the ESP to the extension board (with pin header ?)
  • LED connected to a random port for test (BLINK - also allows to see if µC bugging or lagging)
  • Communication I2C with µC
  • Battery powered. Option ot charge just before launch (batery pack, umbilical external connector)?
  • Switch to turn ON and OFF ? Access from outside the rocket.

Ideas

  • Monitor battery voltage (voltage divider bridge with 2x 100 kohm)
  • Connexion for igniter of separation system
    • Know if an igniter is connected or not (VCC to Igniter to Transistor - connexion to GND with 1 mohm and connexion to I/O with 100 kohm)
  • Strong connector to avoid unwanted disconnection
