Cansat tutorials

Introduction

Some cansat related materials organized a course

Theory

Primary School

For primary school students about 8th and 9th grades, also 14-16 years old.

The idea goes as following

1. Parachutes
2. GY-91: acceleration: GY-91_Sensor;_Arduino
3. Storing to SD card
4. Transmitting data using Radio
5. Parachutes again
6. Temperature and pressure using GY-91: GY-91_Sensor_measuring_Pressure;_Arduino
7. Pressure and height
8. Other

High School

High school students having basic knowledge about physics and mathematics.

Data analysis using python

1. Reading data to Python and plotting something
2. Adjusting the data and setting plot limits
3. More adjustments to plotting (Temperature and pressure)
   1. NTC calibration and multiple temperature sensors
   2. Altitude from pressure. Pressure in atmosphere. Atmosphere models. GY91: LPS25H
4. Acceleration
   1. Speed and altitude from acceleration
   2. Rotation
   3. Force
5. Numerical derivatives
6. Numerical integration?
7. Plot the animated figure
8. Other methods to read the data
