This is the code for all of the subprojects linked to the FIRST CanSat project
There are three sub projects within CanSat:
CanSat is a Raspberry Pi Pico project that will be launched up in a rocket and descend with a parachute whilst transmitting sensor values. GroundStation is another Raspberry Pi Pico project that will receive the sensor values and feed them into a laptop. Visualiser is the desktop application that will run on the laptop to visualise all of the sensor data.
CanSat a drinks can sized satellite that uses a raspberry pi pico to transmite live measurements after being launched by a rocket whilst it descends using a parachute.
