ARB-3D Altimeter

The ARB-3D altimeter is a real-time integrating accelerometer and barometer for computing the absolute values utilizing floating-point mathmatic calculations.  The heart of this altimeter uses the BasicX-24 stamp.

Accelo-Graph

The Accelo-Graph software configures the settings on the ARB-3D and downloads the flight data files.  Testing the continuty and pyro channels can be tested as well as polling real-time acceleration and barometric pressure values.
