In its current state, the wiring between various parts of the rocket leaves much to be desired. Cables snake around the rocket and it is difficult to integrate everything before launch. As such, better wire harnessing is required. The lengths of each cable as well as their connections must be determined beforehand and not simply estimated during manufacturing.

Wire harnesses required:

  • Between the main PCB and the total pressure PCB
  • Between the main PCB and the pyrocutters
  • Between the main PCB and the load cell
  • (Potentially) between the main PCB and a static pressure PCB

Example idea for the connections of the load cell assembly.
Component 9 could have 1 or two connectors depending on how often component 6 needs to be resoldered.

Seems like an interesting software option with a freemium scheme. The free version allows 5 designs with up to 30 connections each, which should be more than enough for our case.
