STMRocket - Built in KiCad v9.0
Hello PCBWay team,
My name is Edward and I am a first year computer engineering student at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. From my first semester, I have met and connected with many talented engineers and likeminded people, leading me to join the model rocket club. This club has inspired me to work towards my own rocket certifications independently to gain knowledge so I can contribute more to the club.
For this reason, I developed software and a PCB which holds a flight computer capable of datalogging and deploying a parachute for all kinds of rockets. I aim to use this for my certification flight to obtain the Level One High Power Rocketry certification, allowing me to legally purchase large rocket motors to use in future projects. It also serves as a learning opportunity since I would like to dive into the embedded technology world.
The rocket that I will launch is called Zephyr, and the flight computer will sit in it's nosecone. Below is the image of the rocket kit that is in delivery.

As for my prior experience, I have already developed my own libraries for components that are found on the flight computer. This summer, I purchased a breakout board containing the BME280 IC and programmed my custom library, which as a handful of users. The link to the repository is here: https://github.com/esicoe/BME280_LITE
I would be so grateful for a sponsorship and it would bring the project to new heights.
Thank you all,
Edward S.
