This sub-team is in charge of designing and manufacturing a GPS system for the competition rocket. This system will pinpoint the velocity, altitude, parachute deployments, direction, and location of the rocket. This sub-team is tailored for Electrical Engineering undergraduates and Computer Science undergraduates as it does involve a lot of electrical circuits and coding. Although, anyone is welcome to join this group!
This year, the Avionics group created a Guided User Interface (GUI) system that is housed in one mobile and sturdy case. This system helps display the velocity, altitude, direction, and location of the rocket. Along with that, the system will also let us know when our payload has been deployed as well!
If you have an interest in coding and electronics, this is the team for you!
