Automated Rocket Launch Pad v1.0 (2011-08-27)

This a run through of the features available on the ARLP system v1.0. The background to this project: Last year a junior in high school I decided to start the rocketry club. After launching our first rocket I recognized a few problems. First, the wire from the launcher to the launch pad was rather short and I had to be on my knees to launch the rocket. Secondly, it was too boring for a whole club to just press one button. Thus I decided to create this project as a way to encourage new members to join and for existing members to build off it's foundation. I hope in later versions to add the possibility to launch more than one rocket.

Automated Rocket Launch Pad v2.0 - May Launch (2011-07-13)

Here is the video of three rocket launches MHS Rocketry Club held in May 2011. ARLP v2.0 uses a wireless computer to connect to the launch pad's onboard router which communicates with an ATMEGA88P using a enc28j60 ethernet shield sold by Sparkfun.
