+<p>This can be as simple as preparing a soft cushion of wadding
inside a vented model payload bay. Wherever you mount it,
make sure you protect the barometric sensor from corrosive
ejection gasses as those will damage the sensor, and shield
-it from light as that can cause incorrect sensor readings.

+<p>Slide the switch so that the actuator covers the '1' printed
on the board. MicroPeak will report the maximum height of
the last flight in decimeters using a sequence of flashes on
the LED. A sequence of short flashes indicates one digit. A
single long flash indicates zero. The height is reported in
decimeters, so the last digit will be tenths of a meter. For
example, if MicroPeak reports 5 4 4 3, then the maximum
-height of the last flight was 544.3m, or 1786 feet.

waits for one minute before starting to check for

used for these samples is a factory calibrated RC circuit
