Thrust Vector Controlled Model Rockets

This repository consists of the rockets that Zachary Kohnen has created. These rockets use active TVC based stabilization. The models for each rocket can be found in the rockets directory, and the flight firmware for each project can be found in the firmware directory. Below is a list of the rockets, basic information about them, and hyperlinks to their respective information.

You can access a development log published online at rocketry.dusterthefirst.com file.

Questions

How big is the Slider PCB?

It measures 55 × 90.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Slider use?

33 parts, built around the BMP280, L7805CV, FM25V20A-PG and BNO055. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Slider KiCad files?

From the DusterTheFirst/rocketry repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rockets/slider/kicad/slider.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Slider design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
