Sadly I doubt now I shall be in a position to mount my own excursion to the upper atmosphere in the foreseeable future as these days I lack access to any kind of workshop or test bench, or the funds and assistance needed for any projects so am very limited in what I am able to do.
I was therefore really pleased to discover today the iforce2d YouTube collection of videos on his arduino based balloon project. It so closely matched my planned research feel I should share it here in the hope that it is of some benefit to those who still visit my blog from time to time.
If you pop over to https://youtu.be/8wRFqRTZFOM (or play the above video) you will find the first of five excellent videos following the design, test, build and flight of his amateur high altitude balloon project.
Really excellent project, with some useful data and many useful pointers and learning outcomes.
