KNSU Rocket Motor Test with 3D Printed Nozzle Mold
I successfully fired a static test of a KNSU propellant motor. I had it set up to measure the resulting thrust with a load cell and FubarinoSD.

3D Printed Rocket Nozzle Mold
I have tinkered with small PVC rocket motors using sugar fuels in years past thanks to information posted by Richard Nakka, Dan Pollino, and Jacob's Rocketry. The frustrating part of the build, particularly for smaller diameters, was the nozzle. After building a 3D printer, it was time to print my own nozzle molds.

BasicSDAudio Alpha Release and Demo
I have posted an alpha release of the BasicSDAudio library on GitHub! Check it out here. It is capable of 78125Hz stereo PWM audio outputs read from an uncompressed RAW file on an SD card. Psuedo 16bit playback should also be possible.
Also, here is a quick demo of the library running with my BabyBOOMER amplifier/buffer/filter prototype at 78125Hz, 8bit, mono output:
Testers and collaborators are welcome. Future improvements to the library include:
- test stereo pseudo 16 bit playback
- test higher output frequencies
- auto called worker routine
- efficiency improvements
- multiple simultaneous file playback?
