- Temperature Sensors
- Pressure sensor
- Camera
- Canon A530 (running chdk scripts for intervalometer control)
- Command and Data Handling (C&DH)
- Radio telemetry and Ground tracking
- GPS - GT-320FW High-Altitude GPS Receiver
- Radio - Stensat Cansat UHF transmitter (~10mW) data radio
- antenna - flexible 300 ohm twinlead J-pole
- Power
- EZTECH 9.6V rechargeable NiCd battery packs (I picked up a bunch of these at a hobby shop that was going out of business. They seem to be several hundred mAh through testing. Otherwise unmarked) [we'll use three: 2 in parallel for main C&DH power, 1 on a relay to power a siren on the ground to help us locate it)
- LM317 voltage regulator providing bus voltage of 3.3V for everything but the siren and the camera
- Camera is powered by 2 AA batteries. Currently using alkaline, may switch to NiMH or NiCd for flight
- Siren (to aid in ground search at landing sight)
- Radio Shack 108dB piezo buzzer
When you have two scientists for parents, be careful when you say 'I wonder if I could...'.
