Name: Featherweight Blue Raven Altimeter
SKU: 3017
Availability: InStock

Description

The Blue Raven combines the tiny form factor and 4 outputs of the previous Raven4 altimeter, with better sensors, more recorded data, more output flexibility, and powerful 6DOF inertial navigation processing that enables safer airstarts and new insight into your flights. And it’s all easily accessible through a new custom phone application for iOS and Android. Now available in a 1.0″ diameter form factor with built-in magnetic switch for even smaller av-bays!

Know when your rocket is Go For Launch from your phone screen. No more listening for beeps on the pad or peering into vent holes.
All the data from your flight is automatically transferred to your phone when you walk up to the rocket after it lands.
Easily modify the default deployment settings with screens tailored for easy access to the most common functions like low altitude main chute deployment, or go for the custom deployment setting screen to get full access to the 22 flight events and thresholds that can control each output channel.
A sophisticated built in test exercises all sensors and all outputs with a realistic simulated flight. Verify that your e-matches work with your battery, verify your flight program, and view all the recorded data from your “flight” from your phone.
All recorded data can be saved as text files you can share or email with all the capability of your phone.
The app provides over-the-air (OTA) embedded software updates to your Blue Raven hardware so that your Blue Raven can take advantage of all the new features and improvements as they become available.
