Nyx-Flight-Computer

Contains all details of the Nyx family of flight computers developed by Timothy Paige for UNSW rocketry

How to use:

• Make a local clone of the entire repositry
• Open the project you want from the file it is in
• Enjoy!

To add parts to the library:

• All parts go in the UNSW Rocketry parts folder (single parrts library)
• Open a project and add the symbol into the UNSW Rocketry Library (symbol library, via import)
• Put the footprint in the footprints.pretty folder of the parts folder
• Put the 3D model in the 3D models folder
• In the project, edit the symbol you have imported and assign the default footprint to the footprints.pretty folder footprint (.kicad_mod)
• Edit the footprint you just added to add in the 3D model

How to reference filepaths: Do not use the default filepaths KiCAD generates. These will only work on your device!

• Remove the filepath up to Nyx-Flight-Computers (leave the \ after this)
• Insert .. before this, which then re-references to a relative filepath (permitting multi-device use).

Current capabilites:

• Literally nothing

Future capabilities targets:

• Flight data recording from multiple sources to memory (SD cards)
• Detection of phase of flight (not vehicle direction, speed etc., only are we 1) accelerating, and 2) going up or going down) and subsequent actions or data recording changes
• Flight data high-speed capability to RAM during boost phase
• Telemetry of currently relevant data
• Pyro / chute deploy devices (linear actuator or other form)
• Basic marking out of failed / erroring sensors in data recording
