An 8 channel wireless launch control system designed for solid fuel small and high powered solid fuel rockets.
Control Box: The user interface for send commands to the ignition box.
Ignition Box: The remote module that directly connects to the rocket motor igniters.
- Rocket motors are extremely dangerous. Never wire an igniter while the Ignition Box is powered. The system is wireless to allow motor ignition at a safe distance.
- Store extra motors away from wireless systems. Energy from radio waves can cause accidental spontaneous ignition!
- Always have an antenna plugged in when the box is powered to prevent damaging the internal radio modules.
WIP: manual will be published at a later date.
This section will outline how to build and install the firmware onto the internal box microcontrollers.
Control Box
- Open the source code in the
src/Control
directory in the Arduino IDE - Connect the Arduino Uno inside the Control Box via USB
- Compile and upload the code to the Arduino UNO
Ignition Box
- Open the source code in the
src/Ignition
directory in the Arduino IDE - Connect the Arduino Uno inside the Ignition Box via USB
