You need a continuous, synchronized stream of pressure, attitude, and position data to understand every twist, peak, and drift. This kit turns a Raspberry Pi Pico into a 100Hz flight recorder that writes dual BMP280 altitude, MPU6050 orientation, and NEO-6M GPS tracks to a microSD card - a serious tool for competition telemetry, aerospace prototyping, or India's university rocketry challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA self-contained 3.7V LiPo-powered logger that slips inside the included foam payload bay. Two BMP280 barometers give you redundant altitude data with noise rejection, the MPU6050 captures pitch and roll angles, and the NEO-6M provides absolute coordinates. An on-board DS3231 RTC stamps every reading with microsecond accuracy, while the TCA9548A I2C multiplexer lets all these devices share the Pico's single I2C bus without address conflicts. You'll solder the modules onto PCB prototype boards, load the custom MicroPython firmware, and get a data file ready for plotting in MATLAB or Python - no guesswork, just a clean 100Hz log.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFuse data from two BMP280 pressure sensors to calculate reliable altitude and reject sensor drift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterface an I2C multiplexer (TCA9548A) with Raspberry Pi Pico to manage multiple sensors on separate channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWrite high-frequency logging firmware in MicroPython that maintains consistent 100Hz sampling with minimal jitter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSync GPS time with a dedicated RTC to ensure valid timestamps even when satellite lock is temporarily lost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaspberry Pi Pico\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMP280\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPU6050\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNEO-6M GPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDS3231 RTC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicroSD Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTCA9548A I2C Mux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7V LiPo 500mAh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTP4056 Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.7k?
