Creating a Custom Flight Computer for Active Rocket Control | Hardware Overview
Welcome to the first video in this two-part overview series about Flight Computer ONE! In this video, I go over the three versions of the computer made to date and explain in detail my reasoning behind each design along with the results and problems encountered. I also touch base on a future design at the end! The next video will be all about firmware development and should be completed much quicker, however, I will not be able to go into as much detail.
This is not a guide, but here are the resources I learned the most from!
PCB design & theory resources:
@PhilsLab
@RobertFeranec
@AltiumAcademy
General electronics knowledge resources:
