This kit puts that technology on your desk. Using a BMP280 barometric pressure sensor, you’ll sample altitude every 50 milliseconds, compute velocity from the rate of ascent, and display current altitude, maximum altitude, and velocity on a bright OLED screen. It’s a hands‑on way to explore the physics of rocketry and embedded systems — no launch pad required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA portable instrument that tracks vertical movement like a tiny flight recorder.
