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