The first step is to connect Excel to the RF receiver, and luckily, I found a quite handy Serial Port Communication tutorial. For that, some fundamental VBA knowledge is required, but fortunately, there are lots of guides and example code available on-line. To make things easy, Excel will take care of grabbing all the values and process them. We will send raw or processed data over RF to a laptop. Then we will be adding up more sensors, like accelerometers and gyros and end up with something like the Rocketduino. But that is not the case in amateur rocketry (at least not for us).Īs I stated in previous posts, we will start by just estimating altitude with a barometric pressure sensor. ![]() ![]() For that amount of information, Formula 1 teams and space agencies have dedicated servers only to handle real-time telemetry data in Figure 1 we can see the Operations Control Centre for ESA missions, with lots of workstations and engineers following real-time events. ![]() If a F1 car mounts about 100 different sensors, a huge space rocket as the Ariane 5 will not fall short. ESOC serves as the Operations Control Centre for ESA missions, and hosts the Main Control Room (shown here), combined Dedicated Control Rooms for specific missions and the ESTRACK Control Centre.
