STARLIGHT AND STARLIGHT MINI are our two flagship flight computers. These flight computers fully support custom firmware as well as pre-written flight computer firmware with full MissionControl integration!
I’m obviously taking engineering classes in college – starting off with the very basics, EGR-101. In this class, we learned about engineering ethics, basic design with Fusion, and were tasked with a final project with the following prompt: “Design and build a device that will launch a ball to hit a target (a small circle)…
A few weeks back, I was invited to participate in the CCIC (Community College Innovation Challenge), and to help design and present a business pitch for an innovative product. Our team decided to pitch a pair of sleek headphones that use a fusion of LiDAR, camera, and AI technology to help blind people navigate the…
Even though Circuit Wizardry is primarily a blog about my robotics and 3D printing projects, I also have a real…
Two months ago, I wrote a blog post on battery safety and how to keep your lithium-ion batteries from exploding…
When I set out to create and sell my STARLIGHT model rocketry flight computers, I wanted to be sure that what I sold to customers would be high-quality and be a good value for the price. One important piece of that is the QA process, along with good customer support. As a small business owner,…
…the technology that goes into battery protection and management // A while ago, I began working on one of the most ambitious projects I’ve started to date. While I still can’t share the details, the project requires a large battery pack, with custom-designed electronics. We’ve all heard the horror stories of large battery packs inside…
This summer I took a class on power electronics through MIT, focused on voltage management and dealing with higher-power systems. It taught me a ton about PCB design as well as schematic design. It helped me conceptualize a board that I just finished designing for a secret new venture I’m working on – my most…
Not only am I running Circuit Wizardry and attempting to maintain two products on the market, but I am actively designing and building a thrust vectored rocket, as well as working thirty-two hour weeks as an automotive technician. All of this to say that I’ve got a lot on my plate. In this blog post,…
Hey guys! Just wanted to make a quick blog post updating you on my progress on the thrust vector control gimbal I designed nearly seven months ago. I haven’t finished the design for the hardware and software just yet, but I’m much closer than I was before! I wanted to make this update post so…
A couple weeks’ back, I announced my exciting partnership with Polaris Aerospace, a high school model rocketry club. In Part 1, I…
