I’ve mentioned a couple times on my blog that I’m interested in building a high-altitude balloon and sending some experiments up. I have worked for several years now on an Arduino-based package. I’ve successfully got GPS tracking working, SD cards, and a variety of sensors.
Now I’d like to take the next step and actually start transmitting sensor data over RF (preferably VHF or UHF). I see a lot of balloons going up with Trackuino-based comms, but I’ve also been intrigued with the Radio Shield 2 from Argent communications.
There are a ton of options—there are even folks sending photos back via radio layers. I haven’t found a really good primer yet for all the various options, but I’m getting started.
More to come…
