Thanks, I will check it out properly when I get home but that looks
awesome! I thought about using a raspberry pi but didn't realise it had
already been done, cheers.
The idea is to send it up with live streaming video on their website (along
with telemetry) and the fans can follow it until it bursts and parachutes
back to earth. Whoever finds it (upon handing the balloon electronics back
to us) receives an early copy of the album and a cash prize :)
We will capture HD video on board to be used for promo videos (part of the
reason we need the finder to hand the balloon back to us) but they really
want to get live video to aid the fans tracking it.
