Hi Andrew- Yeah, I know I don’t need one for the record. I used an EasyMini for the I-record I recently set. The GPS is just to help find the rocket. I can fox hunt, but it’d be a lot easier to just trek to the lat/long. The GPS I used with my I-record flight only weighs about 6 grams, but it doesn’t have a telemetry radio built in. If I can grab a spare input serial port on the STM32, it’d be ready to have the TeleMini send the coordinates to the ground.
I’ll get to those 30k+ records that require a GPS later! :) Thanks, -Bryan > On Sep 3, 2017, at 5:40 PM, Plugger Lockett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Bryan, > > I'm the guy who recommended you post here.
