The Hybrid Bay Kit is a complete set of SMT Designs parts that can be assembled into fully functional electronics bay (customer supplies coupler tube, devices, & batteries).
The electronics bay is a completely self-contained bay with an accessible through-wall arming switch, charge canisters (if needed), shock cord attachments for a recovery system (if needed). The bay is available to support 1/16 inch thick walls such as Always Ready Rocketry Blue Tube 2.0, thick walled tubing such as Rocketry Warehouse, and heavy cardboard tubing from LOC.
The bay includes dual eye bolt mounting with 1/4-20 threaded steel rod providing structural strength. The optional charge canisters mount using 8-32 machine screws that is compatible with other companies' products.
Additional device support and battery carriers are available, as well as, replacement charge canisters.
The bay can be ordered in any configuration from no deployment connections, single, dual and redundant deploy. A bay with no deployment connections could be used as a tracker or other electronic device for example. Single deploy can be used for nosecone bays or a bay designed to replace standard motor ejection. Please contact SMT Designs if a nosecone bay with dual deploy is needed for the single ended bay.
For all configurations, the number of deployment channels is selectable (two isolated connections per channel - four maximum channels).
The number of charge canisters for deployent bays can be set to none, one, two, three or four.
Important notes:
- The threaded steel rods included with be a length required for either the specific bay length or to support the a custom length. SMT Designs will cut the rods to length based on what is requested.
- hard plastic centrifuge tubes should not be used as an insert into a charge canister. The hard plastic actually becomes shrapnel when the black powder is ignited which can damage the canisters as well as the rocket.
- The AltusMetrum Telemetrum platform comes by itself or with an integral battery holder for the 1S 850mAh LiPo available from AltusMetrum.
- LiPo battery use requires a very specific size battery. The Turnigy 2S 300mAh 35-70C, Turnigy 1S 750mAh 35-70C, Turnigy 1S 850mAh specific to the Telemetrum, Sparkfun 1S 400mAh LiPo are supported and any battery that maintains the same exact sizes.
