transpond

An Arduino application for remotely tracking a model rocket.

This application contains two parts: the transponder module and the handset module.

The transponder connects to a few different sensors and is installed in the payload section of the model rocket.

The handset uses a 2.8" Touchscreen LCD shield to interact with and display sensor readings from the transponder.

Installation

Building

transpond uses platformio for managing builds.

Build the transponder

The transponder application runs on Arduino Uno, Nano, or Teensy 3.5.

To build the transponder for Arduino, use the nano environment:

pio run -e nano

To build the transponder for Teensy 3.5, use the teensy environment:

pio run -e teensy

Build the handset

The handset is designed to run on Arduino Mega2560. To build the handset application:

pio run -e mega
