Excellent work sir
Do you sell the designs?
Is that what missiles are call now? fin controlled rockets? lol...
Very very cool
Brother can you provide the gerber file?
Wooh the content is super great. Please if possible could you make some video on filters
Pls make more videos especially one of making a aio board that can be used for drones
I don't have enough knowledge about electronics but I find this cool
If integrating GNSS/GPS data with Kalman Filter, how are you dealing with low data rates from GPS/GNSS. Isn't the max data acquisition rate set by the ublox M9N is 25 Hz, which I personally have never seen. Btw awesome project, am still learning would love to help you in some way.
The ‘predict’ step of the filter is called at a fast rate, but the GNSS and barometer update procedures are only called when new data is available. The M9N can do 25Hz, but from what I remember this comes at the cost of accuracy - I think it can only process certain constellations at this rate.
@jacobthornhill I think all constellations work on that but yes accuracy is bigger sacrifice here. The M9N has few nuances which can be accessed with ublox ucentre 2, if you haven't looked up. Still I am keenly interested in what you are building best of luck for the rocket.
Is your code vailable in a repo somewhere? Would be neat to be able to read through it in detail
I agree, even if it would be accessible only through patronite, that would be helpful
Parachute should eject when apoge is detected
So much unnecessary mass in the control system.
That's illegal in the USA for civilians.
how to learn what you know ? electronics ?
Hey man! I built 59 rockets so far using your library. Two of them actually went through Israel's iron dome. Others got intercepted. How can I implement an avoidance algorithm to counter iron dome? Love from Lebanon 🇱🇧 🇱🇧 الحب من لبنان
what your aplication for draw thats roket?
hi can we have your schematic design based on stm32 ?
Hii can you please send these stl files and circuit files
Hi, Jacob! I have seen a number of your videos and I wanted to ask for some advice. As someone with some programming experience but no experience in flying model rockets nor in 3d printing or soldering (although you mentioned both KiCad EDA and PCBWay) who would find it cool to get into model rocketry I am quite nervous about getting into the world of designing my own model rockets. While I have used Fusion 360 before it was only to create a basic nose cone and I have never created an Arduino setup so there are lots of things that I have no experience in and while I know that there are specific launch sites frequented by model rocketry groups here in the UK I am unsure of whether or not model rocket launches can be held at e.g. the local empty park during a sunny day or in one's own garden with permission of the homeowner. I have used OpenRocket Simulator and designed a basic model rocket that hopefully would work correctly when flown however that's the extent of my model rocketry so far. Contained in your video content there is a static test firing of one of your model rocket motors to see if the separation of your model rocket sections would work correctly and I thought that this static test firing was done in your garden so I am wondering whether or not I would be able to do the same thing in the garden where I live with permission without needing to seek approval from anyone else? Furthermore can you please tell me whether a Bambu Labs A1 mini would be sufficient to make a reasonably sized model rocket such as the one you made and displayed in your videos? Making a model rocket like the one you have made is a fantastic achievement in both engineering and software development and this is coming from a mathematics graduate so you should be proud of all that you have accomplished. To summarise I am nervous about getting started in 3d printing and model rocketry and I am wondering please what you would recommend aside from contacting an existing model rocketry group? In addition to the above I have already discussed getting started in model rocketry with an existing model rocketry group who have been informative however as someone who has accomplished a lot on their own without those accomplishments seemingly being performed as part of a model rocketry group your recommendations would be really informative. Thank you for reading and good luck in your future flights! I feel that this is a good time to type: Ad Astra per Aspera!
cool project 🙂
I'm also making flight computer for my Model rocket too . Using same module as you are using but . Not as advanced as yours you literally had all of them in a single pcb . And you are also steering it man that's so cool
Rocket science
put a warhead on the end of it and boom mini guided missile
1/ how did you learn to design the PCB? 2/ can you share your firmware code? 3/ why design your own PCB? why not use something off the shelf?
Great explanation
You are a genius...
Thank you sir
In my country if I launch this will be alert about air dangers😂 then our ale defense system shot down it 😂
Are you allowed to play around with these computer codes and electronic devices if you are a Muslim? 😂
Hi Jacob, any chance for the software that you are presenting here to be uploaded on to your Patreon profile? Cheers
Can you tell us what software you used to build 2d circuit board design and PCB design? Is it tinkercad and easyPCB?
Next step would be a ICBM
Can you share code for orientation estimation and how you calibration is done of sensors
I would like to make aerospace embedded systems in the future. I am thinking about learning, starting using STM 32. Is this microcontroller used also in professional aerospace systems? Or is it just for hobbyist? If so, what other microcontrollers should I learn?
how did you learn to design pcb? any recommendations I would love to know about this and start? any tutorials, any books you could recommend? thanks a lot
The Phil’s lab TH-cam channel has great tutorials for KiCad and Altium!
É triste que no Brasil não temos uma formação assim nas escolas, aqui tudo é ditado pelo governo e eles só sabem ensinar para as crianças como se deve pagar os impostos e taxas certinhos depois que crescerem, aqui só usamos o que os outros países produzem e pagamos caro por que o governo cobra 100% na importação de qualquer coisa, só podemos invejar outros países desenvolvidos por que aqui tudo gira em volta do governo e politica corrupta.
Who would’ve guessed it? Quaternions did it again!!! 😂
This seems so cool to implement and put into practice. It's a shame that in my country the communist government has taxed imports with values that can reach 60% of the value of the product, which makes it very unfeasible to buy anything related to electronics or other items. It's very sad that college students and the entire population in general have been severely punished by this measure to collect taxes. Even though it is a corrupt government, it is not concerned about the population.
finaly a good quality video on youtube😂
Impressive. Somehow, you summarised all that in 10 min video.
Right but what kind of glue do you use to keep your fins from popping off during launch?
You’re starting to decipher the “Magic”. Thanks for making the video !!
Extremely impressive, thanks for explaining it
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!
@@jacobthornhillappreciate it! I’ll be reading the madgwick paper you left in the description, seems really useful
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!
I feel you man, same here 😂
Same here 😂😂
