From the project
Mastodonte experimental rocket avionic (On-board electronics) created by Paul Miailhe, Version 2025
Mastodonte est un ordinateur de bord, ou plus précisément un séquenceur, destiné à orchestrer de manière autonome les événements critiques d’un vol de fusée expérimentale. Il est conçu pour répondre aux exigences du cahier des charges du C'Space, et s’intègre à tout projet nécessitant un séquencement fiable, robuste et temps réel.
Mastodonte supervise et déclenche en toute autonomie les étapes clés du vol, sans intervention extérieure :

Avionic-Mastodonte: common questions
What microcontroller does the Avionic-Mastodonte use?
The Avionic-Mastodonte is built around the 22850120ANG1SYA01, from the Raspberry Pi family.
How big is the Avionic-Mastodonte PCB?
The Avionic-Mastodonte measures 40 × 100 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.5 mm thick.
How many components are on the Avionic-Mastodonte?
103 components, from 33 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 Avionic-Mastodonte design files?
From the axpaul/Avionic-Mastodonte 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 Avionic-Mastodonte design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license, which axpaul chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Avionic-Mastodonte without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
