Project: Olympus is an engineering project that utilizes an Arduino Nano microcontroller to create an electronic payload that records altitude, g-forces experienced by the rocket, as well as roll rate.
Included with the code is a 132 page Project Manual that takes you through the design and construction of the electronic payload. It also includes sections on the construction of the Estes Olympus rocket. A detailed code review of each section of code is included. We take a detailed look at how to calculate the proper size vent holes to allow the altimeter to function properly, as well as how ambient air temperature can affect your altitude results. ...
