      @@grant0617 I don't know how to respond to that. Thanks I guess? I meant my comment honestly. The whole sliding-down-the-chair-in-despair thing is quite familiar to me, and I appreciate content that shows what engineering is really like. Joe manages to strike the perfect balance between entertainment and reality. A video diary of the entire process probably would not be much fun to watch, but I don't want to see just the successes. If I were on an engineering team with Joe, he would be the one who kept everyone going even when nothing was working.

      @@EthanReesor I am a dumbass. I accidently replied to your comment when I was just trying to comment on the video, referring to Joe. You must have been so confused. I never read your comment until now, and I think we were making the same point; that Joe is a genius, as well as being very relatable and humble. And you made an honest attempt to reply to my accidental reply, which in itself is remarkable and rare on UA-cam. I'm so sorry to have wasted your time. I'm going to leave my comment up for everyone to see my stupid mistake. Take care, Ethan.

    Just FYI, for precision tech, especially digital applications, I'd recommend 4 layers: with 2 signal layers, and 2 hidden ground planes. The signal layers can create enough EMF in smaller electronics to induce signals into nearby circuits. A ground plane directly beneath both signal layers will protect against that.

    Honestly, EVERY aspiring engineer needs to see this video. Nobody’s built different - physics befuddles/exhausts/schools us all equally. Your one video is probably going to save billions of dollars and who knows how many lives down the line.
    You didn’t phone this one in, you simply made a very common mistake, and had the good grace to keep it all on film. Good on ya dude.
    And no kidding, that montage music is my new jam. Your rockets flew at least a little, nothing seemed to blow up, all of it was designed to withstand the foreseen failure conditions, and most importantly: the safety protocols seemed to function perfectly. Overall, great work!

It started off great (without doing the math but careful assessment of weight, balance and guessing the thrust).

    Maybe I missed it, but If that was me, I'd be moving the rocket off vertical by hand to check if the Atmel chip was programmed right to correct the deviation from the IMU ground direction reporting. Also, your take off G-forces should exceed gravity, so you need to have a fool proof way to analyse the IMU changes under real world conditions. You can do this by mounting your tiny circuit board on a drone with a couple of tiny servos and then record it's attempt to correct actions as you shoot it up into the air. Make sure not to swap your x and y servos! No logging required. speaking of(writing of) logging, most of the Atmel AVRs have on board user accessible flash. Check your chip's flash size, data set to record and set it to write from takeoff, with more speed for early stages as those are where you seem to be spending more time.
    Apart from that, great video, refreshing change to see attempts, too many people on here obsessed with only showing their successes!

    Great video Joe. I really like your enthusiasm and drive (much like a younger me). I am close to 70 and still do things 'just because'. I still love learning and doing things just to say I did it. Keep it up. You will one day look back and say WOW how did i get here. Your expectations of not needing flight data logging is awesome but you Really Do Need Data Logging. The best to you.

      40Hz is so slow for me. I have a 20mm x 82mm datalogger collecting 7 channels of data at 500Hz and 3 channels at 5Hz as a typical configuration. It's still a prototype in testing. Looking to fly it in 3 weeks. Joe and I are going down different paths within the field of rocketry. We are both making advancements, that I hope others follow, in our specific fields of interest.
