To facillitate high altitude flights, the brown-out capacitor on the timer was sealed into an aluminium container. Board design in Sparkdesign, board fabrication OSH park, USA.

Very nice! Curious if that board was made by OSH Park?
Hi Drew,
Yes, all custom electronic boards were made by OSH Park.
Currently, I’m awaiting the latest update to the Talking GPS board. The new design will allow for barometric altitude recording and GPS localization. Furthermore, the electronics will output the position through radio using both speech and APRS.
