Today I flew 2 piksi's on an HPR.
Piksi #1 had the latest firmware (.19) with setting adjusted to maintain
lock and sacrifice accuracy.
It also had a modified TCXO to be a lo acceleration sensitivity TCXO.
It seemed to hold lock during boost. Still need to crunch the data to
determine acceleration it saw.
2nd Piksi was recording RAW RF and until I send the data off to be looked
at I don't know it the data is any good.
Blog post with details will be posted later this week.
This time rocket worked and recovered flawlessly.
The only rocket anamoly was one of the drogue charges did not go off.
I have dual altimeters and dual charges with secondary charge delayed by
a few seconds)
So without the redundancy I would have lost or shredded the rocket.
