Custom flight computers

A progression of custom avionics from RP2040 breakout-board prototypes toward more integrated SMD hardware.

RP2040TeensyEmbedded SystemsPCB Design

Overview

I have designed and programmed several custom flight computers using RP2040-based microcontrollers and sensor breakout boards for flight data logging, recovery functions, and active control.

Hardware progression

More recent work has focused on developing a smaller and more integrated design using a Teensy-class microcontroller with custom SMD hardware for the EWU Aerospace Club.
