I have used the Particle tracker for my High-altitude balloon projects and it served me extremely well. I don't know about the new board until now.
Don't use the web editor, the good ol' command line is great. I have nothing but great things to say about it. The labelled headers are amazing as well. This is our Tracker code for the balloon. It's probably not very updated, but I have plans to update it soon. https://github.com/habeducation/Particle3GTracker Cheers, - Huan.
