Well, I am slowly getting the parts needed to complete my APRS tracker for the Weather Balloon experiment! I am building a TrackUino APRS tracker. Thanks to generous donations from the members of the CenturyLink Employees' Amateur Radio Club I am getting close to completion. I was able to order a few parts (pic1 below) and so far CLEARC has gotten me some of the more pricey parts (pic2 below). All that is left now are the $40+ parts such as the actual transmitter, gps chip, sports cam, and 2x Canon A570IS cameras. Oh and we need the balloon and parachute. That is ALL that remains!!! Hopefully here soon I will have the rest of what is needed and get this HAB in the air! Stay tuned for more updates as I build the board, run tests, and eventually launch this experiment.
