• 200 Hz Accelerometer, your choice of
  • 250 G single-axis accelerometer
                or
  
  • +/- 70 Gs axial, +/- 35 Gs lateral
• 50 Hz Pressure data for barometric altitude
  • 0-30,000 feet, 2.5 foot res. at sea level
    or
  • 0-100,000+ feet, 5 foot res. at sea level
• 50 Hz Temp., continuity, and flight event register
• 5 minutes of high-rate data per flight + 25 mins.

3 Programmable Outputs:

• 4-Amp outputs compatible with or Li-Poly cell and 9V battery (not included)
• Deployment charge continuity recorded in flight.
• Built-in, isolated arming screw switch.
• Default output program:
  
  • Mach-immune, accelerometer-based apogee deployment
  • Main deployment at 700 feet
  • 3rd output latches on after apogee deployment to continuously power a transmitter (great for minimum-space packaging without RF interference)
• Additional user-selectable output logic options can be selected in combination for each output:
  • Accel < 0 Gs (burnout detection)
  • Filtered pressure increasing (baro apogee detection)
  • Time > user value (simple timer)
  • Time < user value (vertical staging check)
  • Pressure < user value 1
  • Pressure > user value 2 (vertical staging check)
  • Velocity < 200 mph
• All of the above flight events are recorded at 50 Hz in the Flight Event Register, for test-like-you fly verification of the altimeter functions.
• Screw terminal with 0.1" spacing

The Parrot is sold out.  Depending on customer demand, I may produce another batch of Parrots after I get caught up with Raven orders.  Thank you.
