G.A.B.E Flight Computer

Created by [Mr Milky Way] • Started on May 24, 2025

A small, multipurpose flight computer for a rocket

Total time spent: 22h 5m

May 24th: Started on the PCB and BOM

I set up my repo, started to make the PCB layout and a BOM (I know there is a better way to route, but I think it looks cool)

Time Spent: 3h 31m

May 26th: Changed PCB layout and added more to the BOM

I decided that remaking the teensy 4.1 as the fist thing was a bad idea and switched to the breakout board insted, I'm about 60% with the schematic and BOM.

Time Spent: 4h 30m

June 4th: Started work on custom Teensy 4.1 and added a level shifter to the servo lines

I started work on remaking the teensy removed the I2C level shifter and added one to the PWM lines, I also swaped all the capacitors and resistor parts from 603 to 805.

Time Spent: 1h 34m

June 5th: Just about done remaking the teensy

I got close to finnishing the teensy but I might change it around just to make it look nice, didn't really change the BOM that much.

June 7th: Finished the teensy bit, and made updates to the BOM

I finished the Teensy and added mosfets, I also updated the BOM. About one hour in, I went I'm just going to make this one with one microprocessor, this is because this is the first time I've made a board like this before (custom teensy thingy) and I only want one place where it can go wrong. If this one works well, I might make a varatint with 3 microprocessors just to make it look nice.

I finished the schmatic and started out on the layout, I tryed to make it look nice but ldk, just about finished the BOM.

June 21th: Finished everything else and submitting.

I just finnished every thing else like the holder CAD and demo code and will be submitting this later to today image
