README
README.mdTeleSTERN Rocketry Flight Computer
The TeleSTERN Project is an Open Source Rocketry Flight Computer based on the TeleMega by Altus Metrum. It contains modifications to an original hardware and software design to fit requirements to European Launch Sites.
The Project has been initiated by the Teams of Space Team Aachen, STAR Dresden and Hochschule Bremen within the Student Experimental Rocket (STERN) Program funded by German Aerospace Center (DLR).
Usage
The Project File has been created using KiCAD 8.0. The hardware can be programmed via USB with a customized AltOS software.
The Design
Features
- Powerful ARM Cortex-M3 Processor for reliable Performance (STM32L162VDTx)
- Integrated GPS provides precise location tracking (MAX-M10S-00B)
- Accurate Altitude Measurements using Barometric Pressure Sensor (MS5607)
- High-performance IMU for 6-axis Motion Tracking (BMI088)
- Additional MEMS Accelerometer for up to 200 G (ADXL375BCCZ)
- Magnetic Sensing (MMC5983MA)
- Transmitting Real-Time Flight Telemetry to the Ground (CC1200)
- Records detailed Flight Data on Flash Memory for post-flight Analysis
- Up to 6 Pyrotechnic* Outputs for staging, dual-deployment recovery, and other functions
- Compact Design suitable for various rocket sizes and configurations
- (New!) Compliance to ESRANGE Safety Guideline: Arming Signal and Radio Silence (tbc)
- (New!) Now with RGB LED
*not limited to explosion based Actuators

Questions
How big is the Hw tele stern PCB?
It measures 90 × 45 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.45 mm thick.
What parts does the Hw tele stern use?
303 parts, built around the CC1200RHB, MAX-M10S-00B, TL081 and MAX17291ATA+T. 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 Hw tele stern KiCad files?
From the shorlee/TeleSTERN repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw-tele-stern.kicad_pcb and its schematic accelerometer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hw tele stern 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).
