Can a Model Rocket Fly Without Fins? 

Thank you, glad to see you here! I'm subscribed :) Huge congrats on landing, your perseverance is legendary. Waiting for part 3 of your series :)

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

Thanks! I found STM32 very feature rich and having an excellent documentation/tools/community support. So everything controller-specific like working with peripherals, timers, etc was very straightforward -- very good hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and easy to find examples/tutorials how to use it. Let me know if there is something specific you would like to learn :)

Will fix that next time!

The CG is slightly behind the CP, so yeah the rocket has no stability at all. You can see that it instantly starts spinning when the motor burns out. But it is meant to be unstable.

That's true. This rocket was built with the hope that "it probably will not get too much roll speed". A proper rocket should have some roll-control for sure. But using more motors was a huge complication. A much more complex TVC system, control algorithm, simultaneous lighting of several motors etc. I will definitely try a two-motor model with roll-control in future since I have more experience now.

Thank you! What kind of details you are interested in? Electronics, software in general, navigation/control or something else?

1) Check Phil's Lab channel, I learned watching his old videos where he designs for STM32 with KiCad. He explains every step really well. 2) Read datasheets for electronic components -- in many cases there are instructions how to use them. 3) If you don't know how to design something special - try to find some reference on the Internet and learn from that example. It's not really a hard thing to do, just go for it! Let me know if you have more questions :)

Thanks for the heads up! I have just started my sophomore year in my college in electronics, so just wanted to ask, how shall I proceed forward@@Positive_Altitude

I am not planning to, because they have so many problems and everything is not documented. So I think it is a bad material to use/learn from. But I am working on the new rocket that will be 100% open source. Let me know if you still think you need software/electronics for that project, I can give it to you.

Thank you! I am traveling now, but I can share them in one week. Also I am designing a new rocket that will be fully shared, including electronics, software and 3D files. Stay tuned :)

@@Positive_AltitudeCould you please share them with me as well? Thank you so much!!!

@@calebmurray3581 I added Github repo with these STL files in the description

@@Positive_Altitude thank you

Well, I can. But the problem is that code is quite complicated technically. It is built with STM32_HAL using FreeRTOS, DMA, interrupts, and some ProtoBuf encoding. And everything is very dirty and poorly structured. So I think it is quite unreadable. And I am not going to put more effort into it because I started using Rust language for my other projects and not going to use C anymore :). So, let me know if you are still interested and I will share it as it is. Also, let me know what you want to learn from it, maybe I will cover it in future videos!
