ARTS-2 Flight Computer SOP

Pre-Launch

Program the ARTS-2
1. Connect 9v power, and RS-232 serial cable
2. Start up Data Analyzer application from Ozark Aerospace
3. Specify com port if necessary
Verify correct operation of ARTS-2
1. Goto altimeter->diagnostics
2. Press chirp to test tone generation
3. With pyros disconnected, click boomer/sw, both pyros should show bad. Switch 2 should show 'off', and switch 1 show 'on'
4. Connect the resisor/led combo to each pyro channel, click boomer/sw to verify that the respective channel shows OK. Also test-fire each pyro with the respective LED to make sure it lights the LED.
Setup profiles
1. We will be using flight profile 1 (one). Make sure respective dip switch on (dip switch 1 should be 'On')
2. Goto the Altimeter->Configuration
3. Verify Profile 1 is configured to deploy drogue at apogee, and main at 1000ft, with a 50hz sample rate. You can 'Load from Alt', and verify these numbers, and 'Save to Alt'. When saving to alt for profile 1, you'll hear 1 beep.
4. Verify Profile 2 is configured do deploy channel 1 at apogee, channel 2 at 1000ft, and a 50 hz rate... Just to be safe, save this to the altimeter. When saving to alt for profile 2, you'll hear 2 beeps.

Power on ARTS-2 Flight Computer
- You should hear 3-beeps, pause, 3-beeps, pause, 3beeps pause and so on. This means that there is pyro continuity on both pyro channels. Anything other than this indicates a problem.
