Arduino Based Rocket Data Recording Device
Dec 14th, 2019 | by: Nolan SneedCategory: Electronics Basic Circuits
I made a telemetry unit to go on board of a large model rocket that I built! The unit itself was built on a teensy board which uses the arduino IDE and language but was a little more powerful. The data was recorded on the rocket and then sent to my MacBook real time so I could see the data while it was in the air! Here's some of the specs of the rocket:
- Height: About 7.5 ft (2.3 Meters)
- Max Altitude: 2705 ft (825 Meters)
- Max Speed: 342 mph (550 kph)
Sensors Used:
- Microcontroller: Teensy++ 2.0
- Air Pressure (Altitude): BME680
- +/- 3 g Accelerometer: ADXL335
- +/- 200g Accelerometer: ADXL377
- 3 Axis Gyroscope: L3GD20
- GPS: Ublox SAM-M8Q
PHOTO GALLERY
Here are some photos of the telemetry unit and schematic as well as a photo and video from launch day! My apologies for the messy schematic! It was my first time using fritzing and it's also semi-complicated! There is also a buzzer on the real unit that I did not include in the schematic.
I think the video isn't working for some reason but here's a link as well!

Thank you! It was very exciting when I got to launch it and everything worked!
