I am a little confused on how the Featherweight altimeter and the GPS system work.
For the GPS there is the component that goes on the rocket and the blue groundstation unit. I am not clear on how the groundstation is used. There are only a couple LEDs on it, so how do you know what direction to go in and how far to retrieve the rocket? How do you know if your groundstation is synched to your onboard GPS or someone elses? Does the GPS system have anything to do with your phone? Or is the phone app only for the altimeter?
For the altimeter - is there a test function that you an use with the app on your phone to do a ground test? If not - how do you trigger it for a ground test to figure out how much BP to load in the rocket?
Thanks!
