Flight computer

Hello everybody!!

We are now in the process of building a flight computer of our own.. means it will have all the necessary controls and sensors onboard..to detect and store on an EEPROM. Some of the basic sensors would include barometric pressure sensor, humidity sensor, temperature sensor..etc. Also a GPS receiver will be mounted over it to give the location details. As GPS has the facility to give altitudes we dont need a separate altimeter to measure the height our balloon has flown to.. Looking forward to have lotz of fun and learning while making the flight computer.
