cycle electronics

I have created a web site where I am going to post my projects, mostly electronic but also some software. So, to start, if anyone like to enhance tail light on his motorcycle - welcome to BoldLine.org.

P.S. I don't know if you guys have a some kind of formatting standard here. So, if I posted this incorrectly could someone correct me, please?

Welcome. --DavidCary 14:38, 23 July 2007 (PDT)

small rocket computer

What kind of electronics are small enough to fit into a small hobby model rocket? Long and skinny, to fit in those rocket tubes.

ideas:

  • I think it would be cool to have an accelerometer that logged the accelerations during flight.
  • ...
  • What other electronics would be useful to put into a small hobby model rocket?
  • ...
