ArduSat - Your Arduino Experiment in Space

We love Arduino and we love space exploration. So we decided to combine them and let people run their own space experiments!

Mission Patches for Ardusat-2

Today is the day that Ardusat-2 gets released from the ISS. If anyone has an idea for a mission patch, we'd love to see it. Our favorite design will get a mission patch with their design!

SDK Updates

Hi Everyone! We've made some great changes to the ArdusatSDK. Those updates include: 

  • Added Gyroscope library
  • Modified Accelerometer library to be compatible with I2C 
  • Improved overall handling of I2C communication 

Get the SDK: https://github.com/ArduSat/ArduSatSDK

Ardusat-utils

Thanks to J.F. Omhover, there's also some great new tools for you to try out while you're working on your experiment. They include: 

  • AppStorage “emulators” : two libraries (SAT_AppStorageEMU, SAT_AppStorageEMUSD) to smoothly replace SAT_AppStorage during the development of your experiment, they divert all the output data to the Serial port or to a SD file
  • SamplingLib : series sampling for data reduction
  • DataLib : formatting scheme and decoder to send/read binary data from AppStorage
  • HeatShrinkLib (experimental) : a library to compress data 
  • I2C Scanner (sketch) : an I2C scanner that scans for available sensors connected to your Arduino’s I2C port, and outputs a comprehensive list 

 You can find Ardusat-utils at: https://github.com/jfomhover/ArduSat-utils 

3D Printed Ardusat

Finally, if you're a 3D printing aficionado, check out this thingiverse project to print your own Ardusat look-a-like (okay, it's a little more colorful than the real thing).

      Hi,
      what is the status of this project? As a $150 sponsor I was looking forward to a point-and-shoot image and have heard nothing for over a year. Thank-you.

      Hi Bruce - we're actually staring to work on that now. We'll send out an update shortly. It will likely include a survey to capture shipping information.

      Do you have any estimate when those of use in the $25 pledge level might see our photo? Keep up the wonderful work.
