BRAIN OF A HUMBLE SPACEFLY [SERIES]
Embedded Files
BRAIN OF A HUMBLE SPACEFLY is a series of flight computers powered by Atmel microprocessors. This flight computer stores flight data, and provides active control in reaction to stimuli. The next step is to develop the schematics and print a small form-factor PCB, and also to integrate a pyrotechnics computer into the same unit.
BRAIN OF A HUMBLE SPACEFLY GENERATION III
July 2024
The Brain of a Humble Spacefly is a flight computer capable of knowing its spatial orientation using the MPU6050 gyroscope, and is aware of its altitude using the MPL3115A2 Altimeter. It utilizes a PID controller to control a thrust vectoring gimbal.Â
Originally designed on a breadboard, its components are now soldered onto a protoboard and are flight-ready. Alongside the Teensy 4.0 microcontroller and highly optimized PID controls, the Brain of a Humble Spacefly is capable of reacting to and processing stimuli over 500 times per second, allowing for stable ascent. A new generation and/or series of flight computers is planned, and will be integrated with printed circuit boards to withstand extremely high G-forces, and will be capable to transmit redundant telemetry.

BRAIN OF A HUMBLE SPACEFLY GENERATION II
August 2023 to May 2024
The Brain of a Humble Spacefly Generation II is another legacy version of Generation III. It is a flight computer capable of knowing its spatial orientation using the MPU6050 gyroscope, and is aware of its altitude using the MPL3115A2 Altimeter. Since it uses an Arduino UNO, its clock speed is limited and is slightly underpowered. It utilizes a PID controller to control a thrust vectoring gimbal. Generation II, however, has solid-state ferromagnetic RAM storage, which is better for recording data in high vibration than an SD card. This process is being moved into an avionics bay, and will be send down in RF as well.
