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?

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.

DavidCary is designing a "small rocket computer" that can fit inside an off-the-shelf small model rocket, rather than requiring a "high powered model rocket". One that is as narrow as a 13 mm "mini engine", narrower than a 14 mm AA battery, much less a 18 mm "standard engine".

ideas:

  • accelerometer to log the accelerations during flight.
  • pressure sensor to measure barometric altitude
  • beeper to help find it
  • ...
  • What other electronics would be useful to put into a small hobby model rocket?
  • ...
