Micropython on an Adafruit Feature to make a dual deploy altimeter for high power rocketry. Got really into control theory and all the fancy math for determining the state of the rocket on the way up. Then got into device drivers and improving on the ones that come with CircuitPython to get higher performance out of barometers and IMUs. Then got into circuit board design and fabrication starting from zero for an i2c pyro board that fires the ejection charges (little tubes of blackpowder and an e-match used to eject parachutes). That was pretty interesting, i have the advantage of a handful of hardware engineer friends to answer my questions when i get stuck.
It's all sitting on my desk, first flight will likely be in May.
