Co-designed our model rocket's "AimAssist" custom flight computer which controlled sensors (2 altimeters, barometer), linear actuator connections, and MicroSD card data readouts. This microcontroller gathered atmospheric data to understand how high the rocket is in real-time, controlled 3D-printed airbrakes using a linear actuator to reach a desired apogee, and controlled drone propeller deployment and spin to meet desired "splashdown" time. Customized PCB using a Teensy 3.2 along with custom soldering templates for clean soldering.
