G-WIZ Flight Computer
Der G-Wiz LC & der G-Wiz MC sind aus der G-Wiz Produkte Familie.
Die Auswertesoftware ist auf dem PC, Mac und Linux Betriebssystem lauffähig.
The G-Wiz LC and G-Wiz LC Deluxe easily fit in a 29mm diameter body tube. They both weigh only about 28 grams (1 ounce) without a battery.
The G-Wiz LC and G-Wiz LC Deluxe, are 2, identically sized peak altitude measuring altimeters, the G-Wiz LC with 2 output channels and inertial peak altitude sensing, and the G-Wiz LC Deluxe with 3 output channels, and barometric pressure peak altitude sensing.
The G-Wiz altimeters monitor the following key events:
- Launch
- Booster Burn-out
- Sustainer Ignition (when applicable)
- Sustainer Burn-out (when applicable)
- Coast
- Apogee
- Low Altitude
Both the G-Wiz LC and G-Wiz LC Deluxe flash out the peak altitude on the status LED, so that the altitude can be determined after the flight (as long as the battery is not removed)

Spezifikationen:
- Status LED shows readiness at launch, and maximum altitude upon landing. Altitude is calculated on LC, and Barometrically based (more accurate) on Deluxe.
- 2 (LC) or 3 (LC Deluxe) Continuity LEDs show continuity of device on Pyro output.
- Analog to Digital converter reads accelerometer and barometric (Deluxe only) sensors to 8 bit precision. Equivalent to about 100 ft/count barometric, or .5 G per count acceleration.
- High performance RISC processor uses proprietary techniques to calculate altitude properly. It does not rely on linear simplifications, but follows atmospheric pressure to altitude models very closely.
- High current FET driven pyro outputs are capable of delivering up to 8 amps for a full second, each.
- Uses 2 batteries to ensure that the battery driving the pyro output does not interfere with the computer.
Preis: LC - USD $ 89.95 SRP, LC Deluxe USD $ 134.95 SRP
Andere Version: G-Wiz MC
- Status LED / Speaker shows and beeps readiness at launch, and maximum altitude upon landing. Readiness consists of Continuity checks, and both CPU and Pyro battery voltage levels.
- Arming jack provided on board. Not vibration sensitive, and continuity checks work even when disarmed.
- Analog to Digital converter reads accelerometer and barometric sensors to 12 bit precision. Equivalent to about 7 ft/count barometric, or .03 G per count acceleration.
- Acceleration and Barometric data sampled and recorded 16 times per second along with all detected events. Enough memory on board for up to 4 min of flight.
- Standard serial port connector.
- Graphing software provided works on PC/Windows, Mac
- High current FET driven pyro outputs are capable of delivering up to 8 amps for a full second, each.
- Optional low current mode (jumper selected) allows use of one battery by limiting current draw. Works with DaveyFire 28B.
- Reverse voltage protection on all connections.
- MC 100 has a 100g sensor, for those extreme machines!
