Thrust Vector Controller

Why a TVC?

I am currently a student studying aerospace engineering and wanted to start a personal project related to aerospace. I chose a TVC because it is a simple enough project that I can complete during the semester and is relatively cheap.

Purchased Components

• Micro Controller- Teensy 4.0

• I chose the Teensy 4.0 because its small form factor makes it easy to use, and it has excellent computational power for its price.
• IMU (Inertia Measurement Unit)- Adafruit 9-DOF Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout

• I chose this breakout board by ada fruit because it includes Bosch's BNO055, which is an incredible sensor.
• Servos- SG90

• I chose the SG90 as my servo because of their size and price. I knew I didn't need anything too powerful for my design.
• Mini Ball Bearings- Ball Bearings

• These are the bearings I am currently using
• Battery holder-Battery Holder

• The battery holder is for powering the Microcontroller, IMU, and Servos.

Designed and 3D Printed components

The remainder of the parts required for the construction of the TVC will be 3D printed using my Ender 3 S1 by Creality.
