Tejas Flight Computer

TEJAS FC Development

Software Design

I prefer to sail in a bad ship with a good captain rather than sail in good ship with a bad captain.

TEJAS flight computer is to aid a model rocket with recovery and data logging. It is entirely based on arduino with MPU6050 and BMP280 for orientation and altitude data. The development of TEJAS FC took over 3 months. It was fundamentally designed with no blocking code so as to make it a fault taularent system to some degree.

Challenges:

  • Low memory
  • Less Processing Power
  • Delayed Apogge Detection
  • Realtime telemetry

Features of TEJAS 1.0:

  • Systems Check on Boot
  • Non Blocking Code
  • Log Flight Data - Black Box
  • Epic Star Wars Launch sound!
