From the project
Minimal Flightcomputer
Barometer BMP581 for altitude computation IMU STM LSM6DS032x for acceloration and rotation data Buzzer for easier commissioning and recovery 2-channel Pyro ignition for recovery CAN Bus for communication with posible expansion PCBs µSD-Card for logging remove before flight jumper GPIO38 is pulled HIGH when the jumper is removed battery voltage measurement
µMETER provides two separated Pyro Channels. To prevent voltage drops from the ignition the battery is decoupled via two 680µF capacitors. The capacitors are charging/discharging when the ARM-Signal is enabled/disabled for about 2.8 sec. To…

MicroMETER: common questions
What microcontroller does the MicroMETER use?
The MicroMETER is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the MicroMETER PCB?
The MicroMETER measures 32 × 66 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.579 mm thick.
How many components are on the MicroMETER?
82 components, from 34 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the MicroMETER design files?
From the AUXSPACEeV/microMETER repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MicroMETER design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license, which AUXSPACEeV chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the MicroMETER without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
