DownloadsNewsAIM USB 4 released13 November 2017
The new AIM USB 4 has been released! The new AIM USB is 100k feet capable and features 40 amp ejection transisters as well as a tiny 65mm x 25mm PCB size. The unit also includes a micro USB cable used with most modern phones. AIM XTRA 2.02 released25 January 2015
The new AIM XTRA 2.02 has been released. Included in the hardware upgrade is the MAX8Q GPS module - an incredibly accurate and sensitive GPS receiver. The new unit has much faster acquisition and improved lock! TestimonialsNicholas Sunderlin05 August 2012
"We finally had a clear day and an FAA waiver for our launch yesterday. We launched an L1115. We were aiming for 10,000ft and got roughly 9600ft. We are Unbelievably happy with your AIM XTRA gps unit. Soon after launch we lost visual of the rocket into the clouds and never regained site of it. During the flight we continuously received data from the unit and tracked it. Due to the high winds we found it in a corn field about a mile away. Everything worked without a flaw. Attached is the kml and csv file obtained from the unit after recovery. We never lost signal and found it within 10 feet of the gps coordinates on the unit. I absolutely love this AIM XTRA.

"We launched today with the new 7.4v 800mah battery. The launch was perfect and the below graph confirms this." |
AIM XTRA GPS flight computerThe AIM XTRA is a complete GPS flight tracking computer. Tracks up to 30km (~20 miles) line of sight (with included antennas) with an accuracy of approx 10m (3 feet) using the AIM BASE radio receiver. With a Yagi antenna connected to the AIM BASE, over 100km tracking range is possible! 
The AIM XTRA 4 is a GPS electronic payload, incorporating an RF transmitter and additional sensors for a complete telemetry system. The AIM XTRA utilizes an advanced Swiss-engineered avionics GPS for precision airborne location tracking. GPS coordinates are stored in onboard flash memory and transmitted to a ground base station (AIM BASE) which connects via USB to a PC, laptop, or netbook. That's just the beginning... The XTRA includes a pressure sensor capable of measuring up to 100,000 feet. This allows for very accurate altitude readings. The GPS and pressure sensor work together to provide vertical accuracy and resolution. Also included is a 100g linear accelerometer for motor characterization and flight analysis. An onboard triple-axis 16g accelerometer adds resolution and accuracy vertically, while providing additional lateral acceleration data. An onboard temperature sensor is also included. A 2000 degree/second triple-axis gyroscope provides rotation data, and a triple-axis magnetometer offers magnetic field data. There are four high-current (40 amps continuous) output channels available which can be configured to fire for any duration using multiple triggers (altitude, apogee, velocity, time). Each output channel can also be used as an input channel to sample external sensors such as a thermocouple mounted on your motor or a pressure transducer located inside your motor. All this information is relayed in real-time to your PC via the AIM BASE receiver. The AIM XTRA includes a powerful USA FCC Approved 150 mW 902-926 MHz and EU Approved 863-870 MHz digital transceiver. Best of all: it's so easy to use! The AIM XTRA is fully USB compatible. It doesn't use translators that emulate RS232. This really is a fully "Plug and Play" solution. Purchased the AIM XTRA and looking for information?Your AIM XTRA includes the ability to have its onboard software (firmware) upgraded by the user from their PC. Your altimeter includes the latest firmware available when shipped.Because software changes can lead to different behaviour, we have to make sure you get the correct manual corrosponding to the firmware loaded onto your device. We have included everything nescesary for you to get started in a convenient "package". A list of downloads is availble on the left menu. Key features (AIM XTRA 4 with latest firmware)
Firmware and software upgradesPlease download the latest "package" for your device on the left. If you dont know your "bootloader" version, just select the latest version and the software will tell you if you have an older bootloader.BatteriesRecommended computer battery: 3.7V or 7.4V 1000 mAh LiPo, providing approximately seven hours of operation. It is advisable to use a separate battery for ejection activation, depending on your igniter/e-match requirements. Approved Batteries:
