Cool potential 2way communication with Balloon

I just found a cool radio shield for the arduio

I already ordered it, and it should be here next week. Too soon to incorporate into this launch but perhaps the next one.

This should allow me to easily have 2-way communication to the balloon while in flight via the AX.25 protocol. Basically 'emails' back and forth. This way the ballon can send down data, such as temperature and other goodies. While I could command it to do things - i.e. cut away ballon etc....

Very cool - I'm eager to get it in.
