Live Rocket Telemetry: Build a Long-Range LoRa Data Link with Arduino

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

This kit equips you to capture and transmit critical flight data-altitude, orientation, and GPS coordinates-from a rocket or high-altitude platform to a ground station in real time. Ideal for university rocketry teams and serious hobbyists, it replaces guesswork with live telemetry, enabling data-driven flight analysis without recovery uncertainty. The dual-Arduino architecture separates airborne sensing from ground display, creating a professional-grade link over 433MHz LoRa.

What You'll Build

A fully functional 433MHz LoRa telemetry system: a compact airborne transmitter pairing an Arduino Nano with BMP280, MPU6050, and NEO-6M GPS, and a matching ground receiver that displays live altitude, IMU pitch/roll, and GPS location on two OLED screens. One screen gives numeric readouts; the other scrolls a chart of altitude in real time. All firmware and wiring are covered by the AI build companion.

What You'll Learn

• Configuring RA-02 LoRa modules for reliable 433MHz serial communication at 10Hz update rate
• Implementing sensor fusion with MPU6050 and BMP280 to correct altitude drift from raw barometer readings
• Transmitting GPS coordinates and telemetry using structured data packets with error detection
• Creating a ground station UI with live numeric display and scrolling chart on SSD1306 OLEDs

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is designed for B.Tech ECE and EEE students building flight computers for rocketry competitions, hobbyists preparing for events like Smart India Hackathon with aerospace themes, and university rocketry clubs at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS. It is also well-suited to researchers needing a reliable, long-range telemetry backbone for environmental sensor payloads.
