Good Afternoon,
I recall someone posting awhile back, that they had
made an altimeter for their model rockets. Does anyone
have a link to the thread or the persons website?
Any help is appreciated.

    This is one link:

    http://www.tfs.net/~petek/projects.html

    Someone else did this with a BasicX, I'll ask on that list as well.

    Jason,

    I didnt make a rocket altimeter but a hand held altimeter. Although you
    would mostly likely want to change around the coding a little bit because
    you wouldnt need a LCD because you probally just want to store it a EEPROM.
    My code has lots of menu type stuff for the LCD which you wouldnt need.
    However the schematic for my altimeter would be fine for your application. I
    put alot of comments in my code as well so you shouldnt have any problem
    understanding whats going on, but if you do
    i'll gladly give you a hand.

    I have lots of info on my site that should help you out. If you have any
    question about the coding changes or anything else, email me.

    I have actually already taken a look at your website,
    and I am finding it VERY helpful. I may call on you for
    help as I progress. Thank you again for keeping a very
    detailed and informational website.
