-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!
