Pressure Sensor controller

Background

The purpose for this Project is to create a system to measure the atmospheric pressure throughout a flight. The first fall '07 flight brought up an issue with our original apparatus to collect pressure data. Because the method our team used, our pressure sensor was unable to detect the amount of pressure as it dropped below a certain point.

To detect pressures at the higher altitudes, we are going to implement multiple amplifiers to amplify our signals to be recorded. At the higher altitudes, the original amplifier drops to zero and is not sensitive to be detected by the microcontroller. By implementing a multiple stage amplifier system, we will be able to record all pressure sensor data throughout the flight and also be able to reduce the amount of noise compared to utilizing a single op-amp.
