Dear All, Now that I have permission I thought I would announce my gumstix project - I'm using my waysmall as the central computer for a high altitude weather balloon project - http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jac208/pegasus/index.html . Estimated launch date is 8th October. Thought that some people might be interested :) James |

Looks great, James. I have added a "Customer GPS" page in the wiki. There is a link to this GPS page from the main wiki home page - down near the bottom of the page in the "Customer Projects" section. Other customers may add links to their projects as well - using these wiki links.

Hello ! It seem to be an interesting project !! But some questions come in my mind : Do you expect to send SMS 60000 feets high ? Do your system floats ? How long the flight will last ? night shots? Have pleasure ; give us good news and wonderfull shots !!! :) 22 Sep 2005 17:57:46 +0100, James Coxon <ja...@ca...>: > > Dear All, Now that I have permission I thought I would announce my gumsti= x > project - I'm using my waysmall as the central computer for a high > altitude > weather balloon project - > http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jac208/pegasus/index.html<http://www.srcf.ucam.= org/%7Ejac208/pegasus/index.html>.

I won't be able to send texts above about 4000ft, however the system is=20 designed more for when the payload lands it can then relay its position and= =20 can be retrieved. The payload will float due to the polystyrene case -=20 however i don't think it is totally water proof - so if landed in the sea i= =20 might be in trouble! (we just better hope it doesn't) The flight should=20 take 1 hour up and 1 hour down depending on the amount of helium used.=20 Finally i'm not sure the Civil Aviation Authority would be happy about me= =20 launching at night without a radar reflector. I look forward to posting=20 pictures - if it work! (oh and i'll put theses answers as a FAQ on the=20 website) james On Sep 22 2005, J=E9r=F4me Multrier wrote: >Hello ! >It seem to be an interesting project !! >But some questions come in my mind : >Do you expect to send SMS 60000 feets high ? >Do your system floats ? >How long the flight will last ? night shots? > >Have pleasure ; give us good news and wonderfull shots !!! :) > > > >22 Sep 2005 17:57:46 +0100, James Coxon <ja...@ca...>: >> >> Dear All, Now that I have permission I thought I would announce my=20 >> gumstix project - I'm using my waysmall as the central computer for a=20 >> high altitude weather balloon project -=20 >> http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jac208/pegasus/index.html<http://www.srcf.ucam= .org/%7Ejac208/pegasus/index.html>.=20 >> Estimated launch date is 8th October.

Nice project - I read the slashdot article too, and thought it looked like fun. If you want to make the whole box a bit lighter, these modules might help: http://www.sparkfun.com/shop/index.php?shop=1&cart=405528&cat=75& I've been searching for a good use to put them to!
