cycle electronics
I have created a web site where I am going to post my projects, mostly electronic but also some software. So, to start, if anyone like to enhance tail light on his motorcycle - welcome to BoldLine.org.
P.S. I don't know if you guys have a some kind of formatting standard here. So, if I posted this incorrectly could someone correct me, please?

small rocket computer
What kind of electronics are small enough to fit into a small hobby model rocket? Long and skinny, to fit in those rocket tubes.
- Altus Metrum has open hardware and software designs for high powered model rocketry avionics solutions, such as the TeleMetrum altimeter with integrated telemetry link.
- "Taniwha Flight Computer" by Paul Campbell: "the DAC is no longer easily available - we need to lay out a new board for a more modern part"
- "Small Altimeter for Model Rockets" by Herve Cousin
- rocket timer (found via rocket timer) (uses TC4422 "9 A mosfet driver" to power the igniter; but first uses the PIC16F84 to delay the right time ... what are the *other* connectors on the board for?)
- "A miniature 2 meter beacon for rocketry and balloons" by KB0VVQ; "beacon"; "... The tricky bit is running the PIC off the same oscillator. ..."
- "Beeping" Tracking Transmitter Kit
- directional antenna for inexpensive pocket radios
DavidCary is designing a "small rocket computer" that can fit inside an off-the-shelf small model rocket, rather than requiring a "high powered model rocket". One that is as narrow as a 13 mm "mini engine", narrower than a 14 mm AA battery, much less a 18 mm "standard engine".
ideas:
- accelerometer to log the accelerations during flight.
- pressure sensor to measure barometric altitude
- beeper to help find it
- ...
- What other electronics would be useful to put into a small hobby model rocket?
- ...
unsorted
- EV production wiki discusses several electric open source vehicles.
- the OScar project is developing an open-source automobile. Will it get its own wiki?
- "c,mm,n", the world's first open-source car (via the Guardian)
- the Electric Unicycle: the eunicycle.
- heads-up display in a motorcycle helmet[1]
- OpenUAV, Open Source UAV Project: "All source code/hardware schematics are open source (GPL) and can be freely downloaded from this site."
- DIY advanced high performance electric vehicle conversion project. The stop light text matrix is a pretty cool project all by itself.
- "Smart Brake Light System Would Provide More Information To Drivers"
- Openflight http://openflight.org/ wiki: "Crowdsourcing the flying car - collaborative design of flying cars"
- "Build a simple bike computer: Learn how to program a PIC by Fred Maher
- Massmind: "PIC_k You Brains" has a long thread on a rocket-launch computer including a big count-down display, ignition control, and various safety features.
- "Mikrokopter" AVR powered quadrocopter.
