Minimal TVC mount

thingiverse

WARNING: This project is still in development and may undergo significant changes! I've recently embarked on a new endeavor involving the creation of an engine guidance system to stabilize model rockets without using fins. This innovative approach allows rocketeers to utilize underpowered engines, resulting in a more realistic launch experience. My design draws inspiration from https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Rocket-Guidance/ and Joe Barnard's work at https://bps.space/. His article in Make: Magazine sparked my interest, but I knew I couldn't afford an advanced flight computer and propulsion system at the time. The cost of 29mm motors for each flight was also a significant barrier. To overcome these challenges, I decided to scale down the design and create a mount that would work with E engines or smaller models. This allowed me to test the concept without breaking the bank. Here's a list of parts required for this project: * 3D printed TVC mount * Arduino Nano or an affordable clone * (2x) SG90 micro servomotors * MPU6050 6-axis IMU * 9V battery or 2S LiPo with connector * LM7805 voltage regulator * Large paper clip * Small paper clip As I continue to update this design, I'll upload the latest version here. Your input and feedback are greatly appreciated, and I'm hoping to soon achieve a working TVC system!
