+# EasyMotor
+
+This board is designed for in-flight characterization of research rocket
+motors.  It records chamber pressure and acceleration to an on-board flash
+memory chip, the contents of which can be downloaded after flight over USB.  
+It can also be attached to a [TeleMetrum](../TeleMetrum) or
+[TeleMega](../TeleMega) using the companion interface to allow a subset of
+the data to be included in radio telemetry during the flight.
+
+There is no EasyMotor firmware yet, but it will be part of the 
+[AltOS](../AltOS) suite eventually.
+
+Prototypes of v1 are underway.  This design is not yet for sale.
