    Omg, thank you so much for making this video. I have been completely stuck on trying to create my own flight controller for a long time now, and thus explains so much. Definitely going to save this video so I can reference it later. Again thank you so much.

    in the TSP motors you can remove ejection charges by unglueing cardboard from the top of motor

  • @iforce2d
    @iforce2d 5 дней назад

    With the right antennas the 'high-power'/PA nRF24 can definitely transmit over long distance (eg. 30+km on my high altitude balloon), but it would require the antenna to be sticking out sideways which I guess is not ideal for a rocket. Also you'd want it to be in transmit only mode, which would not allow sending commands to the rocket. Starting in bi-directional mode and then switching to transmit-only right before launching would be possible, but not reversible wirelessly. Most likely you'd get better range with one of those off-the-shelf modules (with the RF shield can) than you would with your own PCB - I'm no expert, but I do know that RF traces are a devilishly difficult thing to get right.

    • @jacobthornhill
      @jacobthornhill 5 дней назад

      Thanks for the detail! My last rocket had a nRF24 without the PA, so I probably should have given a nRF24+PA a spin before switching to LoRa. 30 km range is crazy! Definitely going to watch your series on that now. Also, I’ve used plenty of your GPS and RF range tests as reference when deciding what to go for - clearly I should have paid more attention to your nRF24 range testing video!!

    How do you guys do handle the real time stuff? I would like to know why you guys dont use embedded linux devices or microprocessors and how do you guys simulate all this? Gazeebo with ros? Not because i want to build a actual rocket but i would love to use sensor fusion and kalman Filter aswell, maybe for a fixed wing uav. Huge respects!

    Hello Jacob, the MEMS sensors do have a cross coupling effect under linear acceleration, and in your case of use there is a lot of linear acceleration. As one axis of acceletometer faces acceleration, the other axises produce false data, that manifests itself as a twist. Have you observed it in your experiments?

      It depends, but that’s not what I’m doing. My rocket has navigation and control systems, but not a guidance system
