November Update!

Hey Everyone! Its been a while. A lot of things have happened!


First off, TVC V5 has came out a couple of months ago and we got lots of feedback from the community so V6 is now in its design phase! The X axis servo holder is a little weak so we will "beef" that up, also It will use linkage stoppers so it won't crack the plastic where the servo rod connects, and a couple other weight saving changes.


Next, we finished soldering the Omega MK II and it works great!!!! Much better than the old MK II. It feature a new Teensy 3.5 so we don't need the SD holder or flash chip. Also it is about 40% faster so we can log more data and make more accurate TVC movements! Also there were issues with the LED and Power input and those issues are also fixed!

Finally, we tested our new rocket motor called Hermes! It was a faliure though due to pressure. The cap that sits in the top of the nozzle is supposed to not let the leads of the igniter touch so it won't short however, it was too tight and it exploded. We have already designed a new nozzle so we don't need the cap. Hopefully the next test goes well!!!
