Hey Everyone! This project is made up of seperate parts so check out:https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/UniverseRobotics/advanced-rocket-flight-computer-ab9c5a! You will need a TVC mount to gimbal the motor, and a flight computer! Both can be purchased from the Delta Space Systems Website!

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS
Aerospace Gimbal Stabilization Hub
Frontier is a high-performance rocket-hopper prototype that uses Thrust Vector Control (TVC) to maintain an upright orientation during vertical flight.
- Dual-Axis Servo Gimbal: Manages two high-speed servos that pivot the rocket's "Engine" in X and Y directions. The Arduino translates IMU data into instantaneous gimbal angles to counteract gravity and wind.
- PID-Controlled Stability Matrix: The firmware runs a high-speed PID loop (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) at 100Hz. It constantly calculates the deviation from "Perfect Vertical" and applies counter-thrust to the servos.
Optimization
- VS Code Development Workflow: Coded entirely in VS Code, leveraging advanced IDE features to optimize the TVC algorithm for sub-10ms response times, essential for high-dynamic flight.
