I gave $100.
Any plans to make the DAQ project more accessible? It sounds like an
interesting thing but a github index page is a steep hill to climb.

Hi!
In order not to spam the list, this will be the only time I mention this here.
Once again PSAS is raising money for student projects!
http://www.portlandstate-foundation.org/crowdfunding?cfpage=project&project_id=11930
With the modest funds we raised last year we built:
* A fully functioning 3 axis cold-gas jet reaction control system
(RCS) — including 3D printed nozzles!

* A novel electromechanical stage and nosecone separation system.

* A liquid engine test stand that will support future rocket engine
prototyping.
* An industrial-strength, open source data acquisition system (DAQ) board.

To top it off, we had our most successful launch ever in the Central
Oregon desert where we flew Launch Vehicle No. 2 for the last time,
which included a software defined radio GPS receiver, an
Ethernet-based rocket data bus, and long distance WiFi telemetry.

We're very excited about this year with even more ambitious projects
lined up, but we desperately need the cash! Portland State is not a
traditional aerospace school, we don't receive very much school
support for the club. This crowdfunding will be almost our entire
budget for the year :(
All donations are tax deductible. Donate today!
