Hey Patrons! I've got a cool new thing to show you.

We've added telemetry audio readout functionality to the ground station software, so while Sprint is in the air and I can't take my eyes off the tracking screen, we'll have a good idea of where it is, what it's doing, etc.

A HUGE thank you to Perry and Arsenio in the BPS Discord - Arsenio recorded all the audio samples(lots of numbers, and a few words), then Perry cleaned them up and brought them into a Processing sketch(same IDE my ground soft is built with), and created an easy to use library. He sent over the code for that the other day, and it's working great!

As with all new things, we've got some bugs to iron out, but it should be a nice addition to the setup for the 1km flight. 

Speaking of which, if you were not already aware from the BPS YouTube channel - that is happening Monday! The stream will be public this time, I half-expect it to be somewhat of a nightmare to manage the chat, but I figured if it works, that'll be great to see live. And if it doesn't... well, it wouldn't be the first time I failed publicly :)

I hope to see you there, and thank you as always for your support!

What will be the expected motor burn time?

Thanks Neil! I’m very excited for it :) Expected burn time is about 14-15 seconds!

I think the telemetry audio should be in the voice and syntax of Yoda. "Apogee, we have achieved"

Will you increase the pitch to chipmunks 🐿 mode in the audio samples to fit more callouts during flight?

U.S. Water Rockets

How did the landing altitude end up -3 meters from the launch altitude? The flight didn't seem long enough for barometric pressure to drift that much? Or are you using an accelerometer for altitude measurement? In any case, the whole telemetry readout is really impressive. Very nice work!

If the rocket ever detects an error (telemetry off-norminal or something), have it play the bruh sound effect

Diego

awesome!!
