Hi all, I'm new to here. Recently, we have decided to build a high-tec box and launch it to the sky. We have a balloon, which can get to 26km and a plan. Yesterday we made some physics and maths calculations and now we're working at a design of the box and other difficulties it can encounter. We've decided to use Pi, cause its a good platform for experiments and we can use it in further projects, but there are some questions:
1. Can we use Pi as a GPS tracker, which would send tracking information? Or it's better to use a standard GPS tracker? And what tracker do you recommend?
2. Is there a way to send information to earth, such as temperature and other parameters through a receiver and what hardware do we need to receive it?
I think if there is a way to transmit information, we could install a GPS module on the Pi and code it to send it. Btw, the code is not a problem, I know Python and C.
