Latest News 15th January - 3D Printed Camera DC Adaptor 3D Printed part allows injection of 3.9V External power into the camera, for operation off power supply or larger battery pack. Thanks to SoMakeIt for the use of their 3d printer! 26th December - Latest HAB Tracker PCB Sent to Fab Final PCB Layout sent off to the DirtyPCB Fab for the 'Early Bird' HAB Tracker. Most advanced yet with Filtered GPS, LoRa RF Transmitter, and up to 15V Auxiliary Boost Power Supply. 24th November - UKHASnet AVR Sensor V3 PCBs have arrived New boards for my cheap AVR-based Temperature/Humidity Wireless Sensor nodes. These boards provide an easily-solderable base on which to build a UKHASnet sensor, repeater or gateway. I've ordered plenty so let me know if you'd like one! More information on the UKHASnet Wiki. 31st August - 65km Packet Range achieved with UKHASnet HAB Node! We flew a small latex balloon with several experimental payloads from EMFcamp near Milton Keynes that floated south and popped over France. We received the 2kbps packets from 65km away before Line of Sight was lost behind a hill. (Reliable old 50 baud RTTY dropped out seconds after) 6th April - POPEYE SSDV Flown on High Altitude Balloon POPEYE Raspberry Pi Live Images (SSDV) Transmitter was flown with the Southampton University Spaceflight Society up to 37.8km.
