This week has been filled with a whole lot of measuring and designing and ordering. As you know, I got my PCB ordered. I also continued on to get my nose cone for the Rocket ordered. I managed to get it for cheap (about 15 dollars total) and it will be coming in Tuesday. I also managed to order myself the Epoxy needed to put this all together. That was the last of the money I had for the month. I am looking into ways to continue to get the 40 dollars I need to get fins laser cut and shipped to me.
I also realized I had a error on my PCB. It is not a major problem and just means I have to change the pins of my Servos which is not a big deal at all. I switched the power and ground signals on it and, I just have to move the wires in the molex connectors. I also got my newest sensor module, it is the same one I have been using for the prototype testing, but unfortunately I lost that one so I had to order another. I also ordered myself 400 male pins for my PCB so I can solder it on when it comes in (Hopefully soon.)

Last night, I started designing the circuit board for Version 2 of my Rocket Control Board. It is now using a 32 bit microcontroller used in the Uno and the M0 Feather that Adafruit sells. It is a more complicated design, and I am adding microSD card support onboard, also I am adding Lipoly Charging and probably will have a USB connection for debugging. Stay tuned for that.

Godspeed
