Tiny4FSK: Open-source flight computer for high-altitude balloons

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new open-source flight computer called Tiny4FSK has been developed for high-altitude balloons, designed to be ultra-compact and power-efficient. It operates on a single AA battery for 10-17 hours and utilizes 4FSK modulation with the Horus Binary v3 system for communication. The system is intended for hobbyists and researchers interested in atmospheric studies, imagery, and scientific experiments at altitudes around 30km, requiring an amateur radio license for operation on the 70cm band.
