Rising Data Guide to Rocketery
Sonoma State University and CSU Fresno created a curriculum for Rising Data that is publicly available to anyone looking to get started in rocketry. These videos and guides can be used by anyone who is looking to develop their own rocket and payload project. The following guides and videos walk through step by step how to build the Rising Data model rocket and quadcopter. The Rocket guide was provided by Sonoma State University and the Quadcopter guide was provided by CSU Fresno.
Fundamentals
Soldering requires a steady hand and careful precision. It is necesary to take safety precautions prior to beginning.
Development of the Quadcopter
Students in Rising Data constructed a Quadcopter using DJI F450 drone with Naza-M Lite flight controller and Evo reciever and transmitter.
Parts Used
DJI Flame Wheel F450
Naza-M Lite Flight Controller
Flame Wheel Landing Gear
Devo-7 Transmitter
Devo RX701
XT60 Male Battery Connector
6 Zip Ties
5mm diameter heat shrink tubing
Quick set epoxy

Attaching the Controller
Development of the Rocket
Students in Rising Data learned to construct a rocket by connecting components to a Protoboard including a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyro, and a 3-axis magnetometer. The information was then processed by the Arduino Pro Trinket 3V which encoded the information and processed it using C.
