    • @gsuberland
      @gsuberland 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      A small holographic sticker, like the "WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED" ones, would do the job quite nicely. They're really shiny so it's much easier to spot them in the grass, and they tend to glow under UV.
      My other thought was, weight permitting, you could add a small EMI shield over the board around the EEPROM. It'd offer significant additional physical strength and increase the likelihood that the chip would be captured in a catastrophic landing like that, even if the chip was still ripped off the board by the shock of a crash.

    I've lost expensive avionics on ballistic impacts and after 50+ years I finally had enough. I built myself a rocket 'Black Box' similar to what airliners carry. It was simply a thick aluminum housing with padding for the avionic boards. Fly my 4" rocket 6 times and it worked great every time but you can't really test to see if it works or not unless you crash the rocket. On the 7th flight, the day was hot, over 110F, and people were wanting to leave so I hastily loaded the rocket and off it went. As soon as it arced over at apogee I remember I forgot to arm the flight computers. Down it came about a half-mile out on the range and no luck finding it.
    A few months later while out searching for the rocket of one of the schools I mentor, one of the students started yelling and waving his arms in the air. He found my rocket (the nozzle was sticking out of the ground). We marked the location, found their rocket and then went back with a shovel to dig mine out. The nose cone and recovery bay were smashed with the chute shredded, the av-bay black powder wells and U-bolts were smashed into the bulkheads as was 8 inches of the motor case. When I got home, I ground off the smashed U-bolt and althread nuts so I could remove the bulkhead. I pulled out the electronic guts and connected a new battery. They beeped out the 8,000' altitude and lived to get launched on other flights.
    It does add some additional weight but saved some $$$ on replacing avionics.

    A flash chip!? That's great! I've been trying to use an SD card to write in real time, but there are sometimes huge delays as the card writer hits a memory boundary, now I want to give this a try! What flash chip do you use?
    Great video as always. I love a good unplanned disassembly!

      @peterfireflylund 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are cheap, easy to program, holds a lot of memory, are physically small, and write fast. It doesn’t really matter which one you chose, you can’t really go wrong.
      Writing is fast, clearing (erasing) a page/sector may not be fast. Make sure the chip is pre-cleared before the flight.
      Use two of them, mark them with a dot of orange nail polish, and maybe pack the PCB in something shock absorbing.
      Edit: autocorrect had turned "easy" into "use".

      They are NOT hard to program, unless you find a completely weirdo one. There is pseudocode + flowcharts in the datasheet. Many of them also have easily found source code in C and/or assembly somewhere on the net.

      I find no difference between a micro SD card and a Flash chip for write speed. When I capture data at microsecond intervals, I write to FRAM's then transfer the data to a micro SD card. Using QSPI also helps.

    Having had a high power failure or two in my time in my many years in rocketry, I can feel the pain of such a loss. As an engineer, I am glad you were able to salvage your data. The very first time I flew a homebrew data package built around a Raspberry Pi Zero, it was a shovel recovery, with the rocket stuck several feet into the ground. I got my data though. I love the technical challenge of all that you attempt. Glad to see you back at it! 🚀
