Mission Control Flight Controller

     

KIT INCLUDES:

  • Mission Control Flight Controller

  • Serial Programming Cable

  • Mounting Hardware

  • 2 Molex terminals and connection pins

  • Software CD with documentation

FEATURES:

  • Four fully programmable pyro channels:

    Airstart, Drogue, Main and Auxiliary

  • Any channel can fire 0 to 255 second delay from "trigger" event

  • Trigger Events:

    Launch detection (Acceleration or Barometric Pressure)

    Ascend above an altitude ceiling

    Motor Burnout detection (includes multiple stages)

    Descend below altitude floor

    "Falling" (descent velocity above a threshold)

    Landing detection

    Previous firing of any channel

  • Any Channel is usable as a timer channel

  • Each Channel may be selected as "Pulsed" or "Latched" mode

  • Records Acceleration and Pressure Altitudes

  • +/- 50G acceleration range

  • 16 Hz recording rate for eight minutes

  • Launch detection via either acceleration threshold and/or passes above “ceiling” altitude

  • Apogee detect via either zero integrated acceleration (velocity) or increasing barometric pressure (decreasing altitude)

  • All configuration parameters programmable:

    Launch detect acceleration threshold

    Event arming ceiling altitude

    Barometric apogee detect threshold

    Main deploy floor altitude

     “Falling” velocity

  • Onboard power switch and status LED for 1.5" min. ID applications, or use external devices

  • Use “out-of-the-box” as a dual-deploy controller with optional airstart at first burnout  detect, or configure for custom “missions” using Win32 PC application (RS-232 serial port; application and cable included) with up to eight discrete flight “states.”

  • Software updates available at www.rinconrocketry.com/control_doc.htm

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • 1.3 by 3.6 inches. Will fit inside standard 38mm coupler tube.

  • Weight: 0.8 ounces without battery. 2 ounces with typical alkaline 9V battery installed.
