TINSAT

Photo larger than actual size.

The TINSAT cansat system consists of three separate modules. The Sensor Module (SM) includes a Freescale Semiconductor MPX4115A pressure sensor, Microchip TC1047A temperature sensor and Honeywell HIH-4000 humidity sensor. The Controller Module (CM) includes an Atmel ATmega328P 12.288 MHz microcontroller with serial interface and a light emitting diode (LED). The Transmitter Module (TM) includes an Analog Devices ADF7012 transmitter. The modules are available separately, as one single printed circuit board (PCB), as a SM/CM PCB or as a CM/TM PCB.
