Hi John,

yes, it is possible to get data from my test flights.

Please send me an e-mail (see members list) with an indication of the planned use.

With respect to BMA250 range and bandwidth, I used +/- 16 G to avoid saturation and BW 31.25 Hz (update time 16 ms).

The LSM9DS1 accelerometer is using much more bits, also + / - 16 G setting and ODR 50 Hz.

Just a note:

Because the model rocket fincan has canted fins, it also rolls (along its length axis) with a rotation rate depending among others on the forward velocity . This offers the possibility to test the gyro and the magnetic sensors.

The accelerometers are not positioned at the center, so the roll rotation also gives a significant centripetal acceleration to AccY and AccZ of BMA250 and AccX of LSM9DS1.

AccX of BMA250 and AccY of LSM9DS1 provide data of the forward acceleration of the model rocket including the rocket motor activity.

Regards,
Willem

In the mean time I also found that SBAS (Satellite-based augmentation system) is not enabled by default in the ZOE-M8B in contrast with e.g. the SAM-M8Q GNSS receiver. So if this is not changed, the ZOE will never provide a Differential GPS fix taking into account some corrections.

In the ZOE-M8B datasheet (ZOE-M8B_DataSheet_(UBX-17035164).pdf),  it is stated "Tracking SBAS satellites uses power and requires a long decoding time. It is recommended to disable SBAS for Super-E mode."
Default disabling SBAS is in line with other default settings of the ZOE-M8B to minimize power consumption like the "Super-E mode".

In a following post about changing the ZOE configuration using the UART channel (in preparation), I will also include how to enable SBAS.
