No. If the conditions ever fail, then the event will be suppressed. I wanted to avoid the case of a tumbling rocket and sampling the angle only when the rocket happened to be pointing upwards. This probably isn't perfect for every situation, but we're constantly struggling between an over complicated UI and too few options.

Nothing bad, until you go over 32767m in height. Above that, you'll wrap around and the flight computer will think that it has plummeted to well underground. Apogee will probably still deploy correctly, but you're likely to dump the main out on top as it'll think you're far below the main height... > 3.

Flight state after: MAIN Delay: 1 second The trick with any of the configuration bits is to use as few as possible to describe your situation; all of them have to be true for the event to fire. Oh, we log when the pyro events fire to eeprom, so you can see when they occur in post-flight analysis. -keith
