+document our work on open hardware and software designs for
high powered model rocketry avionics solutions.

# Hobby Rocketry #
The motivation for the circuits and software you will find on this site is
<p>
As Bdale and Robert became more experienced in the hobby and started to build
and fly more sophisticated projects, we started to feel limited by the
-existing electronics products available. AltusMetrum was Bdale's first
+existing electronics products available. OpenAlt was Bdale's first
attempt to address this situation with a completely open hardware and software
design... other project have since followed, and it's cool to have help from
-various friends!
+Keith and other friends!

* [TeleMetrum](TeleMetrum/)
-is our primary project, a dual-deploy rocketry altimeter with improved sensor
-complement and 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.
