Data Collecting Rocket Payload

A few weeks ago, I found out that my sister was going to launch a rocket.  She asked me if I could make a device that can measure the height of her rocket's apogy.  I decided that I would build the device.  It would have measure the air pressure (for altitude), acceleration in all 3 dimensions, magnetic fields in all 3 dimensions (what way is north), and how fast it is spinning around all 3 dimensions (gyroscope), light level, air temperature, and humidity.  That is a lot of sensors that all have to work together, so I have been working on it for a couple weeks now.  The when I finish, I will make it easily downloadable by other people who might want to use it for something similar.

Right now, I have ordered the parts and am developing the code needed to collect all of the data.

I took a few pictures of the parts and labeled them.

I am looking forward to collecting some cool data from this project.
