Electrical Decision Tables

Below are the Electrical Design Decision Tables.  For a more detailed view of the tables including the ranking of each criteria, click here.  We used these tables to judge designs and help us to choose a final design concept. 

Design Number   Reference Minimal Accel Magnet Recommended
Accelerometer   8 axes 5 axes 10 axes 10 axes 8 axes
Microcontroller   1 Micro 1 Micro 1 Micro 1 Micro 1 Micro
Gyros\Magnetometer   3\0 0\0 3\0 2\1 3\0
Telemetry   1 System 1 System 2 Systems 2 Systems 2 Systems
GPS/Tracking               2 System 1 System 2 Systems 2 Systems 2 Systems
