A personal collection of open-source avionics projects for model rocketry.
AVES is a collection of hardware and software projects developed for model rockets. The goal is to design reliable, flight-ready avionics while documenting the engineering process along the way.
Each project is developed independently and focuses on solving a specific problem, such as flight computers, telemetry, or tracking.
While AVES is currently a personal project, all repositories are open source and may serve as useful references for others interested in rocketry and embedded systems.
| Project | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Pigeon | GPS and LoRa tracker for rocket recovery | In Development |
| Shrike | Dual-deployment flight computer and altimeter | Early Development |
| Wren | Dual-deployment flight computer with integrated IMU and altimeter | Early Development |
| GPS Ground Station | Microcontroller-based LoRa receiver for displaying GPS telemetry | In Development |
- Build reliable avionics for model rockets
- Learn through hands-on embedded development
- Produce well-documented hardware and firmware
- Keep projects maintainable and easy to understand
Projects within AVES make use of technologies such as:
- C++
- PlatformIO
- ESP32
- GPS
- LoRa
- Barometric sensors
- IMUs
The exact hardware varies by project.
