Altimeter-Recorder EasyMega v2.0 - AltusMetrum

Altimeter, accelerometer, gyroscope and even a magnetic sensor, all programmable!

The EasyMega is a dual deployment recording altimeter with all the functions of TeleMetrum, but without the GPS and the radio link.

This device has both a barometric sensor and an accelerometer on 3 axis, and 4 of its 6 channels are fully programmable. This comes very handy when you have a complex project, with strap-on boosters, multi stages, clusters or air-starting. The flight data are stored on a non-volatile memory onboard and can be downloaded on your computer via the USB interface.

When to use this device?

With its 4 programmable channels and 2 dual-dployment dedicated channels the limit is only your imagination: multistages, airstarts, motor clusters, strap-on boosters and external devices. All of this can be programmed to be activated upon any event, or below or over a certain value of, say, acceleration or speed. It detects motor burnouts, and it can even be programmed to activate a channel below a given angle, thus increasing the safety of upper stages ignition.

It is clear that this device is a real flight computer to be used in your most sophisticated projects.

Features

• Recording altimeter for high power model rocketry
