====== PicoAtlas VII ====== ===== Aim ===== * Investigate longer duration pico flight * Test 1.8v as a voltage for a flight. ===== Components ===== * pAva board (Ublox6, Atmega328, RFM22b all running at 1.8v) * 1xAA Energizer lithium * 1/4 wave antenna with 2 radials ===== Flight 20/10/12 ===== Initially the aim was to launch multiple balloons however due to logistical problems we could only launch a Pico flight. The night before was spent finishing off the payload especially constructing the antenna and completing the code - one of the aims was to test the pAVA board and the code was purposely simple. {{:projects:picoatlas:picoatlas7flight.jpg?600|}} {{:projects:picoatlas:picoatlas7ascent.jpg|}}
