Arduino Based Model Rocket Parachute Deployment System.
This is a tutorial on how to make a Arduino base model rocket parachute deployment timer, it detects acceleration with a MPU6050 gyro and waits a specified time delay. code bellow
you will also need to download these libraries:
Adafruit_MPU6050.h
Adafruit_Sensor.h
Wire.h
Downloads
Supplies
The things you will need is, a Arduino of your choice, a MPU6050 gyro, a servo motor, and breadboard wires.
First, attach VCC from the MPU6050 to 3.3v on your Arduino, next attach GND to GND on your Arduino, next attach SCL to SCL on your Arduino, next attach SDA to SDA on your Arduino, next attach the brown (or black) wire of your servo motor to GND on your Arduino, next attach the red wire on your servo to 5v on your Arduino, next attach the orange wire to pin 8 on your Arduino, and you are now done with wiring.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!
If you use the Arduino Due SCL and SDA go to SCL 21 and SDA 20 NOT SCL 1 and SDA 1!!!!!!
Upload the code, select the Arduino you are using and upload it, in the serial monitor it also gives you the angels temp, and acceleration, however the serial monitor info does not work on the Due.
