We believe that the DCS is the ultimate flight computer, both for in-flight data gathering and flight control.  No other computer (that we know of) has these features: specifications below.

We are now shipping!

This shows the top and bottom of the main DCS board.

And this is a view of an attached Barometric Altitude board with GPS and Telemetry transceiver.

Partial Specifications:

  • On-board 50g or 100g accelerometer
  • Real Time Clock - Time stamps all flights.
  • On board temperature sensor.
  • 5 High current (20 amp) pyro outputs, individually programmable
  • Events detected, and usable for pyro trigger or to start a timer:
    • Launch detect (Inertial or break-wire)
    • Burnout (or Nth burnout)
    • Stage Ignition (or Nth ignition)
    • Greater or equal to set altitude, on ascent
    • Apogee
    • Barometric Apogee (for tumbling boosters)
    • Less or equal to set altitude, on descent
    • Landing
    • Timer time-out
    • Analog inputs reaching set values.
  • Event detected and recorded:
    • Continuity Change
    • Record buffer overflow
    • Pyro port on / off
  • Timers usable with every event.
  • 12-bit ADC for acceleration, and 7 user analog channels
  • Expandable - daughter cards with special features.
    • Barometric altitude card provides a high-quality pressure sensor capable of accurate data over 120k ft.
    • Optionally, the Barometric Altitude cards can also include a Telemetry transceiver for bi-directional data transfer and a GPS module.
    • A 2 axis card will add a Z & X axis, providing a full 3 axis of acceleration data. This card will use 2 of the on-board analog inputs.
    • Future: 6 Axis inertial reference.
  • All analog inputs are filtered
  • Analog input sampling and recording up to 1000 samples/second
  • Records all data on standard Compact Flash card. Multiple flights on a card
  • English or Metric units (Feet/Miles or Meters/Kilometers).
  • Fail-safe power switching
  • Safety shunt, with off-board option.
  • Multiple flight configurations
  • 30 Mip 32 bit RISC processor.
  • Flash Memory for firmware upgrades
  • Unit dimensions: 6.25” x 2” x 1.25” (With daughter card)
