Rocketry with Zigbee

How would you like to carry and unspool 40lb of wire to make a safe rocket launch?  What if all that wire could be replaced with a modern mesh network using Zigbee?


Join us to find out how Wayne and the Tripoli rocket club have been updating their launch infrastructure using the latest embedded technology!
