"Mark/Bill...
Better site ref is www.RocketElectronics.com since everything is aggregated there on the background and current state of the RockeTiltometer...working on RTOM2 now and expect it will implement a magnetometer and Bill's new code so I can…"
"Thanks Bill - your response (re the time frame of flight and need to correct) is what my partner-in-crime here suspected...I appreciate your offer to help...I was hoping to find something more off-the-shelf since there is no way I would be able to…"
The initial goal is to provide a signal (based upon degrees of tilt of rocket tip from vertical) to either inhibit, or possibly trigger, second-stage (sustainer) motor ignition after burnout of the first-stage (booster) motor. The effort…"
Thanks for the further thoughts...I follow you until you get to the magnetometer and the issue of the single vector availability...so even though you have two or three magnetometers available you still only get one real ref - I guess that…"
"Hi Bill...
I have a graph taken from one of the simulation programs we use to design the rockets (RockSim); it represents a typical rocket flight from liftoff to apogee...thought it might help you get a sense of the forces involved...
No I do not mind (publishing), but I appreciate your asking - as you can tell, I am very ignorant in this area, and humbled when i read through all the guys out there that are so knowledgeable, but doing my best to learn...I appreciate…"
I would like to enclose the H-IR sensor into a 4" round housing - any issue (e.g., timing, calibration, shielding) with unsoldering the sensor elements and extending them out and remounting to a 4" diameter a circuit board and bringing the leads…
