+== 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.
