Is this possible? Using Altimeter to deploy a drone parachute
i'm new arduino , looking use arduino altimeter deploy parachute on drone. i've done bit of reading on altimeters in use arduino boards , feeling little overwhelmed. looking @ using adafruit bmp180 altimeter - http://www.adafruit.com/products/1603 i able define preset maximum decent speed (say 6ft per sec) , if decent exceeded want arduino trigger servo deploy parachute. is possibly arduino boards , board recommend me buying? any advice , or direction appreciated. i'm thinking may best outsource job more experienced coder if can tackle myself it should easy. even smallest arduino has enough pins support single i2c device , servo. the program work this: every second: read pressure altitude. if new reading more 6' (2 m? 1.75 m?) below previous altitude: deploy parachute. record altitude previous altitude. you may want kill motors when deploy parachute quadcopter can't recover control , head upward parachute. instea
