• 

Four independent igniter output ports with two event-programmable outputs 

• 

Dual axis accelerometer 

• 

Small printed circuit board (28x80mm / 1.1"x3.15"). Fits in 29mm rockets! 

• 

USB interface: super-fast data download 

• 

Reduced power usage 

• 

More storage memory  

• 

16x more processing power than the Classic/Compact
