everything we've learned so far. There are a number of significant changes
planned:
- * Fully integrated, on-board GPS receiver and patch antenna, with
- support for off-board amplified antennas when airframe geometry
- or materials demand it.

- * A change in the design of the circuit for firing e-matches to
- ignite ejection charges that will improve mechanical reliability,
- plus explicit support for using a separate pyro battery if desired.

- * Inclusion of a "companion board interface" that we envision using

- starts, among other things.

To make all this fit, I'm stretching the board an extra 1/4 inch to a total
outline of 1 by 2.75 inches. We're also moving all the connectors, the GPS
