# TelePyro
This is an 8-channel pyro expansion board for [TeleMetrum](../TeleMetrum/).

+

## Motivation ##
It would be nice to support more than the 2 channels of igniter control
included in the stock [TeleMetrum](../TeleMetrum/) design, so that we can
fly more complex projects involving staging, air starts, and backup ejection
-charges. We also want to experiment with better circuits for testing igniter
-continuity, with the hope of being able to measure actual resistance and not
-just continuity.

## Future Plans ##
-Prototype circuit boards are in hand, and we hope to build some up and test
-them during the summer of 2011.
+In late September 2011, v0.1 prototype boards were loaded and lightly

+out the current design and start over, using an ARM Cortex SOC and our "new
+pyro circuit" that completely prevents processor brown-out.
