+== Operation
+
+       Operating an EasyMotor board is pretty easy.  Turn the power on
+       before launch, typically during the usual pre-flight electronics
+       checklist after the rocket is installed on a launch rail.  
+
+       The board will beep out a Morse code "P" every few seconds 
+       indicating that it's in pad mode and ready to detect launch.
+       Once launch is detected, the board logs pressure and acceleration
+       data 100 times per second throughout the flight.
+
+       After flight, AltosUI can be used to download the flight data,
+       then export it to a comma separated values (CSV) file.  Such a
+       file can easily be loaded into a spreadsheet for analysis.
