+# QuantiMotor — Wireless Rocket Motor Static Test System #
+
+<img src="protos/telestatic.jpg">
+
+QuantiMotor is a secure radio-controlled system capable of operating
+a rocket motor static test stand. Sensors supported by the base
+configuration include one pressure sensor for chamber pressure,
+and one load cell for thrust measurement.
+
+The QuantiMotor board is easily configured using USB, then
+uses encrypted WiFi communications during operation. The
+wireless capabilities include positive status indication,
+and control of all operations. A key design goal was
+wireless retrieval of test results, so that initial study
+can happen while waiting for the motor case to cool enough
+to handle!
+
+## Artifacts ##
+
+Motor characterization products from Altus Metrum are documented in
+a manual available in [html](../AltOS/doc/motortest.html) and
+[pdf](../AltOS/doc/motortest.pdf) formats.
+
+The firmware for this product is part of the [AltOS](../AltOS) suite.
+
+The current hardware design files are available from
+[git.gag.com](http://git.gag.com) in the project
+[hw/quantimotor](http://git.gag.com/?p=hw/quantimotor;a=summary).
+
+## Availability ##
+
+Our first prototype wireless test stand system was developed in 2017,
+and we learned a lot using it. The electronics went been through
+three major revisions, none of which made it to production for various
+reasons. A complete re-design to use WiFi and support basic
+functionality with a header for optional support of additional
+features is underway, with a goal of introducing QuantiMotor as a
+product in the first half of 2023.
