+[YikStik3](http://www.gag.com/rockets/airframes/YikStik3/).  A major 
+revision of the board led to v0.2 which was never fully evaluated, because
+the prototypes of TeleScience were lost in the 
+[Black Forest Fire](http://www.gag.com/blackforestfire.html).
+
+The biggest hurdle we need to overcome before re-starting this project is
+deciding what TeleScience should actually be.  The challenge is that if the
+board is too "generic", it will be hard to use.  If it's too "specific", 
+knowing what functionality to actually include gets hard...
+
+As an alternative, if you want to connect custom sensors to a 
+[TeleMetrum](../TeleMetrum/) or [TeleMega](../TeleMega/) board,
+you might want to investigate 
+[AltOSCompanion](https://github.com/bdale/AltOSCompanion), which is an
+[Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) sketch for implementing a custom companion
+board!
