Full Rocketry Flight Computer Kit with Arduino Nano + BMP280
Advanced Rocketry Flight Computer Kit with Arduino Nano & BMP280 — Dual Deployment and SD Data Logging
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine your model rocket sensing launch, pinpointing apogee, and firing dual deployment charges at precisely the right moments — all while logging altitude, acceleration, and temperature to an SD card. This kit gives you everything to build that flight computer, ready to integrate into your own rocket airframe. Perfect for student rocketry teams, engineering projects, and serious hobbyists pushing the boundaries of amateur space exploration.
What You'll Build
A fully functional rocket flight computer that uses a BMP280 barometer and MPU6050 accelerometer/gyroscope to detect launch, calculate apogee, and trigger relays for two ejection events — one at peak altitude and a second at 300 metres above ground. The system logs timestamped sensor data to a microSD, giving you a complete flight record for post-launch analysis.
What You'll Learn
- Kalman filtering for sensor fusion and state estimation
- Dual deployment triggering logic using barometric and inertial data
- Real-time data logging with timestamping using a DS3231 RTC
- Power management with LiPo charging and relay circuit protection

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for B.Tech ECE and EEE students tackling rocketry projects, Smart India Hackathon teams developing autonomous recovery systems, and anyone building dual deployment altimeters for TARC-style competitions. It’s equally suited to advanced hobbyists and educators guiding rocketry labs in colleges and tinkering spaces.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to access the AI companion trained on this exact flight computer. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for human guidance during troubleshooting.
Can this flight computer handle high-G launches?
Yes. The MPU6050’s accelerometer measures up to ±16g, covering most amateur and student rocketry accelerations. The board is designed with secure solder connections and vibration-resistant layouts.
Is the kit compatible with Estes or custom rocketry motors?
Absolutely. The flight computer is completely independent of motor type; you wire your own ejection charges to the relay terminals and program deployment thresholds to suit your rocket.
Can I modify the deployment altitudes?
Yes. The Arduino code lets you set apogee and main parachute deploy altitudes. The AI companion includes commented code snippets to help you change thresholds safely.
BMP280 + MPU6050 detect launch, apogee and fires dual deployment relays at apogee and 300m with SD data log.
