Designing a Rocket Controller for Altitude Control

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a rocket controller for altitude control by adjusting fin angles based on altitude changes. The user has a background in electrical engineering and is exploring various control methods, particularly movable fins that respond to signals from an altimeter. They express difficulty in finding comprehensive resources, such as journals or e-books, on the topic. The user is familiar with basic concepts like pitch, roll, and yaw, and is seeking assistance and feedback on their project. The conversation emphasizes the need for more detailed information on rocket control systems.

i'm working on my FYP project on designing and building a rocket controller which will react on altitude change thus shifting the angle of its fin to make sure the rocket fly to the right altitude. can anyone help me with the topic?

Welcome to the PF. What have you learned so far? What kind of feedback systems have you worked with before? Is your background mainly EE or ME or some combination of both?
 
mu background is EE...
ive learned that there is several way to control a rocket, and currently i'd decided to use movable fins. the system will receive signal from an altimeter. i am actually still looking for journal and e-book on this topic,but sadly most of the source i found tells so few on the topic. but i do know about pitch roll and yaw. and i do aware of the variations of rocket control sys.
can u help me on this please..tq berkeman
 
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
