Raspberry Pi - P-HAB ( High-Altitude Balloon)
This project is used for balloons to explore the edge of space. Collecting temperature, humidity, altitude, pressure data sending back through a FM Transmitter and saving all logs into the SD card. Also it can take a photo every 30secs and then saving it into the SD card.
The project use
1. ublox-7Max GPS module
2. Radiometrix NTX2B 434.xxx Mhz 10mW modules.
3. TMP102 temp sensor to monitor Raspberry Pi temperature
4. BMP085 Barometric Pressure/Temp/Altitude Sensor
5. DHT22 / AM2302 Digital Temp & Humidity Sensor
6. DS18b20 Temperature sensor
7. TRACOPOWER 5V & 3.3V (TSR-1-2433 & TSR-1-2450) DC/DC converter
up to 96% efficiency - No heat-sink required ( for longer battery life)
5V provide to Raspberry Pi & Rs Pi P-HAB module board
Test 1 in Normal Freezer -24 degree Celsius
6 x AA Energizer Lithium
-- 5 Hours 10 mins
8. Raspberry Pi Camera kit ( take photos save into SD card)
The product will be available after completing successful flight tests results will be posted here, the Balloon launch day we apply in Apr, 2014 & May 2014 depend on the weather.
Sounds like a ton fun can't wait till the full kit becomes available and final pricing should be affordable being based on the RPI
