I think it would probably work ok inside the main body of the rocket were it not for the parachute ejection charge. The pressure sensor might be damaged when that fires (unless it could be isolated). You might be able to put the altimeter system in the nose cone (payload bay?), but that might change the rocket's characteristics by making it nose-heavy.Oznog said:Perhaps the air inside the rocket would do ok without an external port but it's hard to say.
I can compensate for the tiny amount of additional weight; that's not a problem. 8)You might be able to put the altimeter system in the nose cone (payload bay?), but that might change the rocket's characteristics by making it nose-heavy.
Unfortunately, I don't. That is, other than this link I found to a page from the National Association of Rocketry where they have a design for one with circuit diagrams, etc. : **broken link removed**Tarytoons said:Any suggestions on a mini telemetry unit?
Did you do a Google search for "model rocket altimeter schematic"? Try it.Tarytoons said:Does anyone have a good plan for an altimeter that could be used for model rocketry??
I'm somewhat new to the electronics field, but have a good basic understanding of most things.
any help would be greatly appreciated
