-These products are all available for purchase:
+These products are available for purchase:
* [TeleMetrum](TeleMetrum/)
is our flagship product, a dual-deploy rocketry altimeter with
GPS and bidirectional RF telemetry link.
-* [TeleMini](TeleMini/)
-is a smaller dual-deploy rocketry altimeter with telemetry using only a
-barometric pressure sensor
+* [TeleMega](TeleMega/)
+is a high-end flight computer with 6 pyro channels, tilt limits, more and
+better sensors, GPS, and a high performance bidirectional RF telemetry link.
* [TeleDongle](TeleDongle/)
is a simple RF interface for use in ground stations interacting with rockets
using [TeleMetrum](TeleMetrum/). It may also be useful as a generic RF
-interface for other microcontroller systems.
+interface for other microcontroller systems. Note that we don't actually
+sell TeleDongle by itself, it is included in our
+[Starter Pack](http://shop.gag.com/ground-stations/starter-pack.html) offering.
* [TeleBT](TeleBT) is a variation on [TeleDongle](TeleDongle/) that adds
[Bluetooth](http://www.bluetooth.com) as an alternative to USB. Particularly
useful with the [AltosDroid](http://www.altusmetrum.org/AltosDroid/) app for Android devices!
+* [EasyMini](EasyMini/)
+is a small dual-deploy rocketry altimeter using the MS5607 barometry
+pressure sensor.
+
* [LipoCharger](LipoCharger/)
is a standalone battery charger for the Lithium Polymer batteries used in
Altus Metrum products.
provides an interface between [MicroPeak](MicroPeak/) and USB to
download flight log data.
+The following products will be available soon:
+
+* [TeleGPS](TeleGPS/)
+is a GPS tracker and logger using the uBlox Max 7Q GPS receiver for
+high dynamic performance and a combination digital/APRS transmitter.

# Projects #
These are projects we're working on that may become products someday:
is the name of the firmware and related utilities that Keith maintains for
the set of hardware projects here.
-* [EasyMini](EasyMini/)
-is a small dual-deploy rocketry altimeter using the MS5607 barometry
-pressure sensor.
+* [EasyMega](EasyMega/)
+is a high-end flight computer with 6 pyro channels, tilt limits, etc. The
+design is identical to [TeleMega](TeleMega/), but without the GPS receiver
+and radio telemetry link.
* [MegaDongle](MegaDongle/)
-is a higher-performance alternative to [TeleDongle](TeleDongle/).
+is a supposedly-higher-performance alternative to [TeleDongle](TeleDongle/).
* [OpenAlt](OpenAlt/)
was Bdale's original project here, a dual-deploy rocketry altimeter. One
prototype was built, but never flown. This project is now indefinitely on hold.
