) and it seems to power up okay 
. Does anyone know of any potential problems with powering up in this manner? (I'm learning basic electronics with MSP430 and Arduino and a breadboard, 
but still don't trust myself to not mess something up 
).
- Here is the MSP430 without servos connected.

First Launch was beautiful, low altitude flight with a added weight of payload but high enough for full parachute deployment at approx. 3.5 seconds. It looked to be just past apogee, rocket was falling but not very fast when the parachute door popped open.
HK-A data shows a 200' apogee, but no descent.
Launch detected in first 3 seconds (which makes no sense because it should have been recording data the whole time I was pressurizing) and then just stays at apogee 
. This is supposed to be a logging altimeter, not a peak only altimeter (right? ) ...or perhaps this is not a good power source.I'm going to make a separate small power source for the altimeter so I can use it on other rockets... the skinny ones that go so high.
A very nice day to play in Reno.
