Yea it is the one in Huntsville.
I live not far from Hazel Green. Maybe 45 min to an hour.

Yes I did use it! I found it to be extremely helpful during the design stages of my project.
and yes I would be happy to help out. What sort of Data you looking for?

I took that other picture from the top of my 10' Porch. lol

It was the same cannon, just with a dif Barrel.
And yes, the software is fully adjustable. If you look at the pic of the software you will see that it will calculate every aspect of the launch so you can predict the outcome. So for example if there is a 100' tall tower in front of you ...

Ok here is a link to a web site that did a little spill on the the local fare. http://www.ieee-huntsville.org/y2007/lw0703/lw0703narsef2007.html

The Pressure Sensor is a Sutra Systems Model 206. (I dent have a picture, Sorry)

The Cannon Chamber is constructed out of 4" sc40 PVC and is 5' long ...

I dont know how much CVI costs, but it is very similar to Lab View if your familure with that. We use CVI at my work all the time, so I just used it that.

'Lab Windows CVI' was the software I used.
It is super easy to use if you are competent with C, and it has some great example programs if you ever get stuck.

After I finished the project I actually got a call from a guy that worked for National Instruments. He heard that I had used their product ...

Haha yea its not actually all that intimidating looking, But it fires very well and consistently. (Which is what I needed for the project)

Ok so here is some more stuff on my Project.

Sadly all of my data is recorded in a notebook, and are not on my computer. And the videos are far to large to Post.
I will try to scan some of the important stuff and post it a little later on.

Well about two years back I posted my idea for the project on the Spudtech forum. I have since forgot my old name and password, so I just created a new one.
The computer is connected to a rabbit proccesor via an ether net cable. (I think someone asked)

Im sorry, I know this is still vary vage. But ...

ok, I will work on posting some pics a videos when I get the time.

Let me clear one thing up though, the cannon does not have servose and it does not automaticly aim itself. (I did not have enough time nor money to do so) but the computer does calculate, and tell you what azmith to set the launcher ...

Ok so this is a really long story about a science fair project I built my senior year in highschool that is pretty much a glorified spud gun. I ended up getting first place in my local, regional, and state science fairs. I got quite a bit of money, job offers and a free trip to IFES the worlds ...
