Description

Have you ever wanted to gather flight data but your average arduino wasnt quite cutting it? No problem. The computng module gets rid of all the clunky jumper cables and 16bit architecture And provides a solid tested solution for data gathering.

Computing modue is the ideal option for sensor gathering. not only does it have the crutial sensors for flight data as Temperature, pressure Gyroscop and accelerometer onboard, but it also supports external sensors if you need to have aditional data.

IT loghs everything on the onboard storage witch is in this case an uSD card witch enables easy log export even in the case of catastropic crash. This ensures reliable saving of the data and high reliability.

If you want real time connection with ground station, no problem. Computing module supports external radio via the UART interface and the SPI interface. This ensures that you can choose the ideal radio for your use case.
