This project runs a "black box" operation for a model rocket. The scripts are meant to run on a Raspberry Pi Zero W to record an HD video as well as acceleration and direction data during the flight.
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
- Micro SD Card (16GB)
- External battery pack (The Pi Zero runs at 3.3V)
- Pi Camera Module (This particular project uses a wide angle lens)
- MPU6050 Accelerometer/Gyroscope
There are two scripts running simultaneously after the Pi reboots. The first script controls the camera
