You'll need your computer to program ROM chip.

You could probably use the one that is made for automobiles, just include the x, y, and z axis - LOL! Your milage may vary

Not only would it guide the bullet, it would diagnose any problems with it.

Start with 55 grains of Trail Boss and slowly work up to a maximum of 78 grains. Back off immediately if you see signs of pressure like flattened electrodes or bulging circuits.

The article says "the .50- caliber bullets are being designed to work with military machine guns," so it must be .50 BMG. According to Modern Reloding, 2nd Edition, by Richard Lee, the .50 BMG has useful case capacity of 17.01 cc. For Trail Boss you start with 70 per cent of the case capacity. So you want 17.01 * .7 = 11.907 cc of Trail Boss. The VMD of Trail Boss is .21716 according to this: http://leeprecision.com/cgi-data/instruct/VMD.pdf
11.907 / .21716 = 54.83053969423467 grains
17.01 / .21716 = 78.32934242033524 grains

That could cause a rash!!!
