+# MicroPeak Serial Interface (MPSerial) #
+
+The MicroPeak Serial Interface board provides a way to capture flight
+logs over a USB connection to a computer running Linux, Mac OS or
+Windows.
+
+## MicroPeak Data ##
+
+ * Stored in on-chip 512B eeprom
+ * Records raw barometer readings every 192ms
+ * Enough storage for 48 seconds
+
+No changes are needed to the MicroPeak hardware, but new firmware that
+includes the data download feature is necessary to use the MicroPeak
+Serial Interface.
+
+## MicroPeak Interface ##
+
+MicroPeak transmits the entire flight log via the LED just after
+reporting the last flight altitude at power up. The data are
+transmitted in regular serial format at 9600 baud.
+
+The MicroPeak Serial Interface board contains a phototransistor,
+op-amp and serial-to-USB interface chip.
+
+## Developer View ##

was Bdale's original project here, a dual-deploy rocketry altimeter. One
prototype was built, but never flown. This project is now indefinitely on hold.
