Eggtimer Rocketry Quasar User Manual page 17

This page is a truncated version of the status page, but the status is changed to "ARMED", it
doesn't have the validation code/box, and only the channel continuity status and the battery
voltage are displayed. A few seconds later you should start hearing the buzzer beep the "I'm
ready" sequence... it beeps several times a second approximately every two seconds. It sounds a
bit like Morse code, however it is not. This is an audible confirmation that the Quasar is now in
flight sequence mode, and you're ready for launch.
At this point you should CLOSE the browser window on your handheld. We also recommend
that you turn OFF your handheld device's WiFi interface, since you don't need it at this point...
unless you go to reconnect to disarm it (see below).
Disarming Your Quasar
Until the flight actually starts, the Quasar will be listening for activity from your handheld. If
you refresh the page you will see a page similar to the arming confirmation page, but with a
validation code, text box, and "DISARM" button, as shown below:
This allows you to abort the flight sequence in case you have an issue, i.e. you burn an igniter
and the rocket doesn't launch. In that case, you should perform a disarm prior to inserting a new
igniter, then re-arm it afterwards. Note that refreshing this page will halt the flight sequence for
about 5 seconds while it performs processing and updates the statuses, which is why you should
close the browser on your handheld after arming. Closing the browser window after arming
helps to prevent potential interruptions to the flight sequence. Note that if you refresh the
Disarm page without entering a validation code it will force a deployment status and battery
check; this is OK if you intentionally want to do this, but remember that it also halts the flight
sequence for about 5 seconds, so don't do it right before launching, and close the browser when
you're done.
