Keep up the good work... one step at a time, regardless of how small each step is.  ;-)  Like Monroe, I'd be interested in hearing the results of a root cause analysis. 

Good luck next week!

Arduino cut down CPU reset several times. I am triggering the hex-fet cut down nichrome wire off the red led d13 on the FIO Arduino. When it resets, the red led flashes 3 times then goes into the timer mode. During the 3 flashes, it is heating the wire. Continuous resets, flashing of the led, heat the wire enough to melt the rope.

Next flight, we trigger the hex-fet from another digital output like D12 that does not go high during reset.

That's my story.....and I'm stickin to it !
