Does anyone know of a small alitmeter that can be interfaced to a stamp and used in a model glider ?

thanks

Google for "rocket altimeter" Here is one example.

take a look at this:

(click on products, then BaroMod)

I haven't used this product, but it am planning on using it for a future project. It is a pressure sensor with electronics that linearize the analog output based on altitude, not air pressure. This means that the stamp doesn't need to do the complicated math.

I'm not sure what you meant by altimiter. Do you want a pressure sensor or a device that will output actual altitude?

Here is another link to a Altimeter similiar to what Alex mentioned - goes into a bit of detail, and has schematics and src.
We are waiting on parts, and will probably take a whack at adding this to our CanSat (minus the LCD).

edit: lol, suppose I should add the link....
