+# EasyMini
+
+This is a small, baro-only recording dual-deploy altimeter for 
+model rocketry
+
+EasyMini is currently in development, with a handful of prototype
+boards built and flown. Production units will eventually be available from the 
+[Garbee and Garbee](http://auric.gag.com) web 
+store.
+
+For the latest EasyMini firmware and related ground station software, please
+visit the [AltOS](../AltOS) page on this site.
