Flight Computer

Now that I have the GPS tracker working, I am now working on the flight computer. The flight computer shale include:

10 or 12 bit resolution
Accelerometer
Barometric Pressure
Temperature Sensor
6 configurable MOSFET's for pyro events, backup pyro, camera trigger etc.
Radio downlink via Maxstream RF modem
GPS add-on for tracking
I2C communications
2 meg onboard storage
USB serial interface
LCD add-on (?)
G-Switch add-on (?)
2 timers (?)

I am working out some details on a possible protocol to combine the GPS data stream and the live telemetry data together in one serial stream. This is still being looked into so I can have live data streaming from both the GPS and flight computer during the flight using one radio modem.

Here are some pictures of the Mini Altimeter and Flight Computer that Brad and Greg came up with.
