This story is about clouds of the water dropping variety. Transmitting data
from a capsule dangling from a weather or sounding balloon is not easy
as it often involves expensive and sophisticated equipment. Luckily, cheap
alternatives exist. The board presented in this article together with a standard
radio transmitter and GPS receiver can be used to beam down up to
six analog signals and position data from a balloon, and all of that at very
low cost. Our heads are not the clouds either—this project has been up in
the air twice already!
