From the project
Model rocket launch controller implemented in a FPGA chip
A long-time hobby of mine is model rocketry where I build and fly models rockets in a club setting. A launch controller has a push button to electrically launch the models safely from a distance. The controller feeds current from a battery, through a push button and lead wires to a resistive heater to initiate the launch. For something so simple it causes consternation when the launch countdown reaches zero, button is pressed, and nothing, due to a fault of the controller! Years of itteratively building launch controllers has not yet acheived personal perfection in launch controller design…
