The RTEM repository continues expanding with a new UI folder and file refactoring. I'm developing an application to enable wireless communication with the RTEM system for displaying telemetry data, inspired by similar dashboards in the rocketry community.

Planned Features

  • Live force-graph visualization
  • Continuity state monitoring
  • Firing state indicator
  • Humidity/temperature readings
  • Possible live camera integration

Motor Testing Plans

New motors featuring a 0.375" core diameter will use an improved casting methodology involving a custom funnel design. This approach aims to reduce voids and cracks in the propellant structure.

Near-Term Goals

By week's end, I intend to test motors and collect performance data, while exploring finocyl geometry options for my casting process. A completed science fair paper investigating core diameter effects on peak thrust and motor characteristics is forthcoming.

I invite community contribution! Please send UI design suggestions and wireless system integration ideas via pull requests or comments.
