What is your project about?Our team at Glendale High School rocket club focuses on designing a fully custom low-altitude rocket equipped with ESP32-based avionics to collect and analyze flight data. The goal is to create an open-source platform that others can replicate and learn from, showcasing the potential of DIY engineering and innovation.
Why did you decide to make it?This project stems from our passion for making, creating, and exploring advanced technology. We wanted to challenge ourselves, push our limits as a maker, and build something that captures both functionality and creativity. It’s also about inspiring others by documenting the process, including successes and failures.
How does it work?The avionics system uses an ESP32 microcontroller combined with sensors like a hall effect sensor, altitude sensor, and temperature sensor. These components work together to record critical flight data, enabling precise analysis for current and future projects. The data is processed and logged, giving a clear picture of the rocket’s performance in real-time.
