Gadget Freaks, we have a problem!

Enthusiasts Joe and Brad designed a clever, electronically controlled two-stage model rocket powered by a 9V NiCad battery. The heart of the electronic control system consists of a small FPGA with a soft-core processor that runs the control algorithm and logic. It uses a PWM signal from an accelerometer to determine the rocket’s acceleration to trigger the ignition of the rocket motor in the second stage, separation of the booster from the sustainer, and the deployment of a parachute that allows the rocket to float gently back to earth.
