+##Project State##
+The Software has been tested on table top and seems to be working and practically usable. Due to the high weight of the prototype hardware (approx. 100 gramms including battery) I have not done any flight tests yet. I will look for a smaller Arduino as more lightweight hardware before starting flight tests.

+#RocketControl Overview#
+*RocketControl* is a small project to develop an on board computer for a model water rocket. 
+
+##Hardware in Use##
+It is using of the shelf hardware for the prototype:
+
+- *Arduino Uno* Microcontroller board
+- *Tinker-Shield* for Uno
+- Tinker Acceleration Sensor (2 Axis) T0002
+- Mini Servo with Tinker connector
+- Tinker red 10 mm LED T01011x
+
+##Functions##
+The basic functions include:
+
+1. Automatic launch detect using an acceleration sensor
+2. Optional apogee detection with differential photo resistors (not implemented yet)
+3. Emergency timer if apogee detection fails
+4. Eject parachute by servo
+5. Show current state with LED blink rates
+6. Auto power off
+7. Optional serial status monitor for debugging
