We hope to launch on June 28th.
Some changes:
- Re-soldered the battery connections to the camera
- Changed the camera program to make it very obvious if the program is running
- Purchased a new larger antenna for the car which should help maintain contact
- Purchased a larger and lighter antenna for the balloon
- Will add a swivel connector between the payload and parachute lines. This should help cut down on the tangling of the line and twisting of the payload
- Fix the problem of the software running on the laptop (xastir) not showing the cars position (was only showing the balloons)
- Will add a simple kitchen timer set at about 2 hours to the payload. This is just so it beeps when it is on the ground to help with finding it.
- Might add a cheap camera on the outside pointing up to capture low res pics of the balloon as it expands
