How about a GPS Shield with SD card that can use spare GPS every one might be carrying around once they have been upgraded by Ublox5 series? Any Ideas guys. Or how about blue tooth port for Ardupilot that can use a blue tooth GPS, so that GPS can be mounted as far as possible without worrying about cables etc

    Thanks Emani, will check it out. Hope your info is very helpful to every one here.
    @David , that is wonderful if it works at 80k' , though these GPS bottoms out at 20k' !!
  • just the board, a gps module, proper connectors and a serial port in ttl levels, I think. and, of course, the sd card and reader. I think the card firmware might need some tweaking, in order to boot logging before any command, seems easy to do. I never used, I use the logomatic, the card is very recent.

    Used a 408 the same way to track a balloon:

    @ Erani, yes , looks like i,t what else is needed in addition to this board to complete the proj.

  • I am very happy with the logomatic (link above), be sure to check the http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9530, they are selling for $25, seems like what you are looking for.
