** This fork is an atemp to add support for the LPS25H. barometer. ** And in doing so Support the Pololu AltIMU-10 v5 *NOTE: If you are planning to use this code or board files, please send me a Private Message (PM) on Rocketry Forum to ensure I have posted the latest updates. https://www.rocketryforum.com/members/sparkyvt.810/ HPR Rocket Flight Computer Original sketch by SparkyVT NAR #85720, L3 TRA #12111, L3 --------DESCRIPTION---------- This flight computer is designed for rockets 38mm in diameter or greater, and will fit inside a 38mm tube coupler. Dimensions are 4.0in x 1.25in x 0.5in, not including antenna It has similar capability as a TeleMega, but without a smart-phone app or advanced interfaces Flight-tested on multiple M-powered supersonic flights to over 24K feet and Mach 2.0. For large or high-power projects, a commercially avialble backup computer is strongly recommended. --------FEATURES---------- Full-featured dual deploy/multi-stage/airstart rocket flight computer capable to 100,000ft or more Tilt-sensing lockout for ignition of second stages and/or airstarts Live telemetry over 433MHz or 915MHz LoRa (433MHz: USA amateur 70cm band, EUR licencse free) (915MHz: USA licence free) 4 high-current pyro outputs with continuity checks Advanced MEMS sensor package: GNSS, accelerometers, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, and LoRa radio High Data-Capture rate: approximately 50,000 samples per second recorded to SD card --1000Hz 3-axis digital 24G and 100G accelerometer data logging --1000Hz 3-axis digital 2000dps gyroscope data logging --1000Hz of flight events & continuity data logging --1000Hz of sensor-fuzed speed & altitude --100Hz of pitch, yaw, roll rotation --40Hz of of magnetic data logging and magnetic roll --30Hz-100Hz of digital barometric data logging (Altitude, pressure, temperature) --30Hz of main battery voltage (1400Hz during pyro events) --20Hz of LoRa telemetry output (time, event, acceleration, speed, altitude, rotation, GNSS position, signal strength) --5Hz-25Hz of GNSS data logging (chip-dependent data rates & constellations) --Separate data file for each flight up to 100 flights Simple, easy-to-use configuration interface through the SD card --User Selectable Flight Mode: Single-Stage, Two-Stage, Airstart, or Booster --Configurable Apogee delay --Optional Audible Battery Voltage report at startup --Optional Magnetic Switch Startup & Shut-down --Preflight audible reporting options: Perfectflight or Marsa --User selectable telemetry frequency & power settings --8 configurable servo outputs (4 powered, 4 un-powered) --User selectable inflight brownout recovery Mach immune, sensor-fusion based apogee event Barometric based main deploy event Audible pre-flight continuity report Audible Post-flight max altitude & speed report Mount in any orientation, automatic orientation detection with built-in self calibration mode Bench-test mode activated w/ tactile button; user configurable status messages over USB Serial Report in SI or Metric units Compatible with Teensy 3.2, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1 --Connect any sensor to any available I2C or SPI bus --Create your own custom setup with configurable pins for continuity, firing, and servos --Connect UBLOX GPS unit to any available HW Serial port --------FLIGHT COMPUTER COMPONENTS---------- Microprocessor: Teensy 4.1, 3.5, or 3.6 (compatible with provided PCB file) or Teensy 4.0/3.2 (no PCB file provided) IMU: LSM6DS0X (recommended), LSM9DS1, LSM6DS33, or LSM303 & L3GD20H combo Magnetometer: LIS3MDL (recommended), LSM9DS1, or LSM303 100G Accelerometer: H3LIS331DL (recommended), ADXL377, or ADXL377 & ADS1115 combo Pressure Sensor: MS5611 (recommended), MS5607, MPL3115A2, BMP180, BMP280, or BMP388 (Note: BMP280 & BMP388 incompatible with telemetry due to EMI) GNSS: UBLOX M6, M7, M8, M9 (NEO footprint supported in PCB file) LoRa Telemetry: RFM96W or RFM95W, both capable of TX on 433MHz or 915MHz (433MHz USA: Amateur License Required, EUR: License Free) Tactile Buttons: 0.2 in spacing PCB: Use the provided PCBexpress design file or create your own Battery: 2-cell 400mAh 20C LiPo recommended (DO NOT EXCEED 10V with provided PCB) --------GROUND STATION COMPONENTS---------- MCU: Teensy 3.2 Telemetry: RFM96W 433MHz (USA: Ham License Required, EUR: License Free) or RFM95W 915MHz (USA: License Free) GPS: Ublox SAM-M8Q (optional) IMU: Sparkfun LSM9DS1 breakout LCD: 20X4 Sparkfun LCD SD Card: Adafruit SD Card breakout board Antenna: 433Mhz 5-element Yagi (Ham Only) or 900Mhz (License Free) Case: File provided for 3D printed case BNC to SMA: 6-inch cable SMA cable: 6-inch cable Battery: Recommended 7.4V 2-cell LiPo 450MAh 1K Ohm Resistor: 1/8 Watt 10K Ohm Resistor: 1/8 Watt --------ADDITIONAL LIBRARIES REQUIRED---------- TinyGPS++ SDfat and/or SD --------INTENDED FUTURE REVISIONS---------- 1) Upgrade ground station with GPS, digital compass, & Bluetooth 2) Develop Android App for ground station 3) Optional remote start & shutdown command --------NOTES---------- Note: All of the above components were purchased through Digikey. Other sources for the same components should work, but are untested and may not fit the provided PCB Note: 1.25in x 4.0in size board. Will fit in a 38mm coupler tube. Components mount on both sides. See provided pictures for examples. Note: Estimated Flight Computer Cost = $150 Note: Estimated Ground Station Cost = $150 (does not include antenna) Note: Estimated build time = 3hrs Note: Estimated programming, setup, calibration, & debugging time = 4hrs
