[altusmetrum] TeleMega Questions

2013-11-15 Thread Casey Barker
Our AeroPac gang has started discussing plans for next year's high-altitude experiments, and we're excited about the TeleMega. A couple of questions came up: What's the expected sample rate during the ascent? Storage limits aside, what could the hardware do? Our major point of interest is the

Thanks, Keith! That's exactly what I needed to know. And yeah, I'm happy to do a bit of firmware hacking. I'll be curious to see what others do with the extra capabilities. 100 Hz is likely enough, though the team was musing about an old HCX that could log the accelerometer at 500 Hz. (Indeed,
