== Installation EasyMotor needs to be rigidly attached in the airframe, and the long axis of the circuit board needs to be aligned with the axis of flight. By default, the round beeper on the board should be “up” towards the nose cone, and the screw terminal strips should be “down” towards the fins and motor nozzle end of the rocket. === Power Switch and Battery In addition to the circuit board itself, EasyMotor needs a power switch and battery to operate. Like many Altus Metrum products, EasyMotor requires a single-cell LiPo battery, and has an on-board charging circuit. The 5V needed for inexpensive pressure sensors is generated onboard using a switching regulator to boost the voltage. Because he often mounts EasyMotor to the motor's forward bulkhead instead of to the airframe itself, Bdale often uses a length of “shooter wire” from an e-match or used motor igniter as a power switch, routing the wire out of the typical fin can vent hole and using “twist and tape” to power up the board. Whatever works! === Pressure Sensor The primary motivation for designing EasyMotor was to have a reliable way of recording motor chamber pressure during flight. To that end, EasyMotor supports attachment of a low-cost analog pressure sensor. The board provides 5V to power the sensor, and an input for measuring and logging the output voltage from the sensor. The kind of sensor EasyMotor is designed to work with takes 5V in and has a linear analog output that ranges from 0.5V at 0 to 4.5V at the maximum pressure supported by the sensor. Very inexpensive sensors that have a “1/8 NPT” threaded input, a “Buick-style” 3-pin connector, and typically ship with a short cable and mating connector, are readily available through various vendors including Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress. To log in-flight chamber pressure, a typical approach might be to drill a 1/8" sampling hole all the way through the center of the motor's forward closure, then drill and tap partially through the closure with a “1/8 NPT” pipe tap. Fill the touch hole with grease, screw in the pressure sensor, and attach the sensor leads to EasyMotor.
