Designing the electronics for the Chipstar Deployer.
It will have a radio for receiving earth commands and a hardware timer to trigger the deployment even when the controller fails to work.

This system will be redundant with two different power sources.

The two trigger systems will be: Nicrome wire cutter and motorized lock

In the lower section of the PCB you can see the constant current driver for the wire cutter.
