Satellite Attitude Determination System Kit with ESP32 + LED
Satellite Attitude Determination System Kit with ESP32 & OLED: Master Quaternion Data Logging at 200 Hz
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Recreate a satellite’s attitude determination system using an ESP32, ICM-20948 9DOF IMU, and the Madgwick filter. Log quaternion data at 200 Hz to an SD card with microsecond accuracy. Ideal for CubeSat ADCS prototypes, rocketry telemetry, or advanced sensor fusion research.
What You'll Build
You’ll build a self-contained attitude module that reads raw IMU data, runs the Madgwick AHRS algorithm, displays real-time Euler angles on an OLED, and timestamps quaternion logs to an SD card using the DS3231 RTC. The module runs on a rechargeable LiPo and fits inside a durable enclosure. You can later feed the CSV log into MATLAB or Python to plot attitude over time for satellite mission analysis.
What You'll Learn
- Implement the Madgwick AHRS filter on an ESP32 in C++ for sensor fusion at 200 Hz
- Interface the ICM-20948 9‑axis IMU over I²C, extracting raw accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data
- Design a high-speed data logging system using SPI for SD card writing and a DS3231 RTC for precise timestamping
- Integrate a small OLED display to visualize real-time quaternion and Euler angle outputs
