Re: Hobby Rockets - Where to find accurate sensors and How to transfer data?

Is that a Zero W? You want to overlay data onto live video? For rockets you need to collect data fast so probably save into a memory buffer. Don't try to save to SD card, until you are going down or landed. I would collect video and data separately and do the overlay in post processing back on the ...

Re: Hobby Rockets - Where to find accurate sensors and How to transfer data?

Hmm, can roll rate be determined or is another sensor needed I'm not sure about roll rate but I quite like the idea of inclinometer to show pitch/roll overlay in the corner of a video. It looks like a lot of the leg work has been done here: http://ozzmaker.com/inclinometer-using-raspberry-pi-imu/ H...

Re: Hobby Rockets - Where to find accurate sensors and How to transfer data?

Hi, My sons and I are venturing on a similar project however with slightly lower (altitude) aspirations! We are using ESTES rockets with BT60 payload sections so ‘space’ is limited (excuse the pun). We are more focused on recording the flight video and overlaying telemetry data which can be viewed a...

Re: Overlay

Hi, I read your post with interest as I'm in the process of building a computer on onboard a rocket based on the Pi Zero W, Powerboost 1000C and BerryGPS-IMU v2. I've successfully implemented your script and I'd like to see if it can display additional information however I've no experience with Pyt...
