From the project

Flight controller for rockets

A custom, open-source flight computer for model and high-power rockets, built around an STM32F722 with onboard IMU, barometer, GPS, pyro deployment, quad servo outputs, and microSD logging. Designed from scratch in KiCad.

Wanted to get my feet wet with more mixed PCB design. I designed this as a base for firmware and testing I plan to designing another one after I build and test this one on actual rockets. I plan to use this for my rocketry team for active control and data logging
