Does ADL just stand for altimeter data logger or is it a brand/model?

Thanks Dennis

Yes, That's with an IMU - the ADL!
Yes, got GEP :-)

Haven't had a chance to check this out yet, but I imagine you could get
additional data from an IMU - there's some cheap ones for up to 16g and
2000 deg/sec with a 1khz sampling rate for <$10 on amazon (gy-521).

Also, google earth pro is free now!

Guys,

Haven't forgotten about this, I broke some new ground tonight in the
area of GPS post-processing!
Here you go, Complete NAV and stats on the vehicle (up and down). Heres
the raw output of my new NAV
program with the sensor injection. It's a raw log file, but the program
seems to be working!
Ok, now for some polishing and I'll try not to stay up all night :-)

More later ..

James,

That sounds very interesting.

Yes, if you send the data with GPS, I will incorporate it into the
visualization.

Tom,

Let me tell you something I've been working on for GPS-1 and ADL fusion
...

I've recently wrote a program which takes the RFS GPS and sensor data,
fuses it, creates time correlated data (even during COCOM lock-out on GPS),
computes haversine (great circle distance or "as the crow flies") distance,
converts GPS to radians and EKF format (when altitude is present), and
performs basic Kinematics from dv/dt (and want to extend to
dx/dt,d/dt,dz/dt with ADL). In the end, It should give you 3D x,y,z and
speed as well as bearing (compass) and heading.

I've spoken to Bob about sensor fusion with the ADL as well, basically,
I need to pass a signal and/or UTC time-stamp when I get first fix and then
all of the ADL 3D data can be correlated as well! It is something we could
probably get going with simply a spare GPIO signal.

Jimmy did a flight last month which has ADL and GPS-1 onboard, I'm
going to work on this with Robert and then we can send you full correlated
data for your visualization program. My plan for the optimal wishlist would
be:

time (relative), time UTC, LAT/LON, BRNG, Altitude, Speed, x, y, z, x',
y', z', x'', y'', z'', dps, newtons

The last values would be position, speed, and acceleration, and
integrated newtons seconds.
let me know if there are other fields we could/should use.

Thank you
-James

I just added summary to my web site of a project I have done to
visualize a rockets flight using the altimeter data along with the rate
gyro data from the RAF Data Logger board. I have not flown my Data Logger
yet (I plan to at Dairy Aire), so I used the data from one of Bob
Feretich’s ARLISS flights. I have posed a video of the simulation, along
with the Python script for anyone interested. Check out the video – its
pretty cool!

Go to http://www.speedmotionrockets.com/Flight%20Visualization.html
and scroll down to the rocket image and click on it to see the video.
