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. The project isn't completely finished even after all of the construction is done, as we include a section on
how we can improve this version of the project in future builds.

Features

  • Pressure based altimeter
  • Inertial Measurement Unit with 6 degrees of freedom to record G-force and Roll Rate
  • MicroSD card module to record all data in CSV format for export to spreadsheet or database
  • Rechargable LiPo battery
  • Built around a standard Arduino Nano Microcontroller
