We had our Flex-driven water rocket youth activity tonight... with a few connection hiccups. After we got those smoothed out we kept em' launching until we ran out of light. Long live egg-shell foam!
Our top-flyer tonight was sponsored in part by A&W Root Beer (bottle) and Cheerios (fins). I'm happy to say that the results were clear and solid. Flex reported data coming off the WiTilt module like a champ and at a fair distance; we didn't have to use the extended range Bluetooth dongle.
What's next? Oh... I don't know - maybe I'll go solid state on the launching rig. I could include a safety release valve, pressure sensor, better back-check, and use a pair of solenoids for the release mechanism. Yeah... and I'll drive it all from an AIR app with a sweet looking HUD. Anything I missed ya'll? Let me know...
The next project on my workbench is called ARPlane! ...and I'm going to wrap-it in a pretty package.
