Honors & Awards

  • (Tied) 1st Place Technical Merit Award - 2016 ARM Student Design Contest at Imagine RIT

    ARM University Worldwide Education Program

    The ARM Student Design Contest is a yearly contest in which students are challenged to create innovative solutions using products built on ARM technologies.

    The RIT Launch Initiative tied for the 1st Place Technical Merit award for our avionics system for our rocket, the objective of which was to deliver a payload to an altitude of 10,000 feet. This system is responsible for sensor readings, control systems, and communications.

    The ARM Student Design Contest is a yearly contest in which students are challenged to create innovative solutions using products built on ARM technologies.

    The RIT Launch Initiative tied for the 1st Place Technical Merit award for our avionics system for our rocket, the objective of which was to deliver a payload to an altitude of 10,000 feet. This system is responsible for sensor readings, control systems, and communications.

    Hardware:
    - The main flight computer is based on an ARM Cortex-M4 chip manufactured by Texas Instruments.
    - ARM processors satisfy the requirements for low power draw and for low cost.
    - The TI Tiva microcontroller was originally chosen due to a desire for Ethernet networking between nodes. This requirement was dropped, however the Tiva remained more than sufficient for speedy control of peripherals.
    - Peripherals include Flash storage, altitude and acceleration sensors, gyroscopes, pyrotechnic and hot wire charges, power and voltage monitoring, GPS positioning, RF communications, etc.

    Firmware:
    - The main processor runs an RTOS known as NuttX. We used an RTOS to ensure that scheduled tasks will run at a certain time. NuttX in particular was chosen because it is open-source and because it was already compatible with the Tiva platform.
    - The Linux-like architecture of NuttX allows for quick and efficient implementation of drivers. This is important as many custom drivers are written for our system.
    - The communications system was written as a custom "app" that sends data from the rocket to ground control over an RF connection.

    Software:
    - Software receives data in frames from an RF connection and logs them to a database in real time.
    - The ground control application polls/queries the database and refreshes visualizations in real time.
    - The application provides visualizations and analysis of location (GPS) data, altitude, temperature, pressure, humidity, and more.
    - Uses OpenGL and Qt to render custom user interfaces.

    The ARM Student Design Contest is a yearly contest in which students are challenged to create innovative solutions using products built on ARM technologies.

    The RIT Launch Initiative was awarded the 1st Place Technical Merit award for our hybrid rocket engine test rig system. This system included a TI Tiva C-Series microcontroller board adapted onto a custom instrumentation board. The Tiva board was programmed to take analog sensor readings, and to send the captured data back to a Windows computer via an Ethernet connection. This data was analyzed and graphed using a Visual C# application. This system will be used to control the mechanical components of the system, as well as to capture and analyze measurements, as we perform our first test in the summer of 2015.
