Great work, impressive!
Thanks! I actually came across your channel last week - amazing stuff and very professionally done. Congrats on all the views, and good luck with whatever comes next!
What is the software for design roket ?
Respected sir, I am a student pursuing aerospace engineering. I want to make a model rocket like yours for my final year project. Please guide me how must i begin with this project. I promise i will give my heart and soul to the making of this project, please guide and support me.
Add a explosion to the cone , we got a third world Missile to destabilize the region .
today we do rocket science, baby!
What is the application for design roket ?
I have no idea what you're talking about. Feels exactly like rocket science!
Omg, thank you so much for making this video. I have been completely stuck on trying to create my own flight controller for a long time now, and thus explains so much. Definitely going to save this video so I can reference it later. Again thank you so much.
in the TSP motors you can remove ejection charges by unglueing cardboard from the top of motor
With the right antennas the 'high-power'/PA nRF24 can definitely transmit over long distance (eg. 30+km on my high altitude balloon), but it would require the antenna to be sticking out sideways which I guess is not ideal for a rocket. Also you'd want it to be in transmit only mode, which would not allow sending commands to the rocket. Starting in bi-directional mode and then switching to transmit-only right before launching would be possible, but not reversible wirelessly. Most likely you'd get better range with one of those off-the-shelf modules (with the RF shield can) than you would with your own PCB - I'm no expert, but I do know that RF traces are a devilishly difficult thing to get right.
Thanks for the detail! My last rocket had a nRF24 without the PA, so I probably should have given a nRF24+PA a spin before switching to LoRa. 30 km range is crazy! Definitely going to watch your series on that now. Also, I’ve used plenty of your GPS and RF range tests as reference when deciding what to go for - clearly I should have paid more attention to your nRF24 range testing video!!
Very interesting stuff, and well explained too.
How i can talk with you about some problem i cant solve it
delay mixture when the actual mixture ends the parachute charge which is slowed maybe idk.
fins for ayrodynamics ,it moves ,righ,left,up,down,the missile spins ,from inside ,somwtjing with wieght a motor .but up down is vectoring .
Nice,thank you :)
Great video 👌
What software you're using to build the rocket?
Hi! What did you use as the 7 segment display? Like what is the model or part number you used?
I bought it as a breakout board from adafruit: www.adafruit.com/product/1270
I really like your board it has everything. Im testing with esp32s3. I subscribed!
Great work. Everything seems to be clear after watching. But how to make first step. Specially when you are on the couch :P
Send me I like to this
Oh my 😅 Don't worry. Failure will lead to another success... soon, very soon!
Well done, mate 👏🏻😊 The mini SpaceX 🚀 ✅
Blimey, I feel like an amoeba by comparison. Thank you for demonstrating the importance inherent in not standing still in a world where the 'progress' genie is well and truly out of the bottle. Education is key. By the way, which docking port at the ISS are you going to rendezvous with?
Do u have git repo for source code ?
Bro, this is really awesome!! Congratulations!
How do you guys do handle the real time stuff? I would like to know why you guys dont use embedded linux devices or microprocessors and how do you guys simulate all this? Gazeebo with ros? Not because i want to build a actual rocket but i would love to use sensor fusion and kalman Filter aswell, maybe for a fixed wing uav. Huge respects!
A project I must also do.
Hello Jacob, the MEMS sensors do have a cross coupling effect under linear acceleration, and in your case of use there is a lot of linear acceleration. As one axis of acceletometer faces acceleration, the other axises produce false data, that manifests itself as a twist. Have you observed it in your experiments?
Great video, this is so inspiring! Thank you Jacob, keep up the hard work🙌🙌
Thank you Anna!! Will do 🤓
Fin-controlled rocket, ie a missile. Hope you're ready for a visit from the authorities lol
Very Cool and May I know how to use Matlab to do analysis and why you know its Yaxis problem? Thanks a lot.
I was of the impression that adding guidance to a rocket was illegal?
It depends, but that’s not what I’m doing. My rocket has navigation and control systems, but not a guidance system
Just remember your accuracy in lowest bits is only as good as your noise floor on things like power supplies etc
this is excelent profesional project- I love it , excelent job!! 1000x thank you
Another excellent video with clear explanations. I imagine lots of testing & simulation. Great to hear you’re using C - still the set language for embedded real time s/w and do reduce any need to resort to assembler!
good.
good job man
Thank you....
Interesting
Wow I always thought a simple gyro module's data would be sufficient to steer a rocket!
Great video on the flight computer and navigation software for your fin-controlled rocket, Jacob! I was fascinated by the design process and implementation details you shared. I'm curious - are the CAD files, schematics, and code for this project available anywhere? It would be amazing to dig deeper into the technical aspects. Keep up the awesome work!
I wish you would make a video about the roadmap to get to this level of excellence
Hello, what name of website you buy componen?
Awesome
Ok. I'm not an engineer 😅
What would it take for you to be able to flash betaflight or inav/ardupilot onto your custom board?
Very impressive!
Nice video. One question for AHRS fusion alrogithm. Why did you use Madgwick filter even if you can implement kalman filter for position tracking? One of the most key benefit of using Kalman Filter is fast initial convergence and most commercial SOMs using it for this reason. Of course they put their own recipe filters to cope with the external disturbrance and optimizations.🐱🐒🦄🐅🐹🐘🐪
