Aerosentinel Mach 1 Prototype Board
Aerosentinel Flight Controller is a purpose-built system specifically designed to provide precise control, navigation, and telemetry capabilities for rocketry applications. It serves as the central control unit for rockets, offering advanced features and functionalities to ensure optimal performance, safety, and reliability during launch, ascent, and recovery phases.
"Rocket science may be complex, but with Aerosentinel, mastering the complexities becomes the art of engineering simplicity."

To finished product!
Microcontroller
This Flight Controller version embedds an STM32F4, one of the best in terms of performances and power consumption.
Sensors
For the embedded sensors, we have :
● 1 - Magnetometer | ● 2 - Temperature | ● 3 - 6-Axis IMU | ● 4 - Barometer
Together, coupled with Sensor Fusion algothitms, they offer the best readings possible.
Control Bay
This bay offers 8 connectors, that can be connected to Ignition Systems, Thrust Vecroting Systems, etc.. The left pin can be configured as PWM pin or a simple GPIO pin.
Black Box
Data have to be stored somewhere.. With the Black box, you can store your sensors readings, and much more, up to 64 Gb of storage! Also, with the embedded EEPROM, all the configurations are stored effectively.
Expansions
One of the best capabilities of this Flight Computer! With multiple expansion ports that supports UART, I2C communication protocols and ADC (Analog to Digital conversion), we ensure ultra modularity to this board!
Programming & Debugging
Flashing and Debugging the code to this board has never been so simple! With the two Micro-USB Ports you can flash your custom code to the board, and debug it using UART protocol. I've added the standard SWD port for comodity too.
Power Management
The board has several components, working either in 3.3V or 5V. The current control and filtering section ensures that everything will work as expected! For the external sources, it can be connected to an external battery (Min. 10V | Max. 60V)
Signal Monitoring
Monitoring signals, especially for complex projects, requires some additional features. With those test points, you can make Digital and Analog signal verifications, ensuring that everything works as expected!
