# TeleMetrum History
+The v0 and v1 series have a lot of common hardware features. The final
+version in this line, v1.2 looked like:
+
+### User View ###
+
+* Recording altimeter for model rocketry
+* Supports dual deployment (can fire 2 ejection charges)
+* 70cm ham-band transceiver for telemetry downlink
+* Barometric pressure sensor good to 45k feet MSL
+* 1-axis 70-g accelerometer for motor characterization
+* On-board, integrated GPS receiver
+* On-board non-volatile memory for flight data storage
+* USB for power, configuration, and data recovery
+* Integrated support for LiPo rechargeable batteries
+* Uses LiPo to fire e-matches, can be factory modified to support separate pyro battery
+* 2.75 x 1 inch board designed to fit inside 29mm airframe coupler tube

## v1.2 ##
-This is our current production version, first made available for sale on
+This is our last production version of the 1.0 series, first made available for sale on
Christmas day 2011.
Changes from v1.1 include:
theory made it possible for pyro charges to fire at power on. We never saw
a problem, but the change was easy and obvious.
+## v2.0 ##

+
+Prototypes of v2.0 were first flown at Airfest 2013, and v2.0 was sold through
+fall of 2019.
+
+Compared with the v1 series, v2 includes a better GPS (uBlox vs
+Skytraq), higher power radio (40mW instead of 10mW), wider range and
+more precise pressure sensor (100k' MSL vs 45k' MSL), larger on-board
+storage (8MB vs 2MB), more precise, wider range accelerometer (12 bits
+instead of 10 bits, 105g instead of 70g) and faster processor (32-bit ARM
+Cortex M3 instead of 8-bit 8051).
