-
-Production units are available from the
-[Garbee and Garbee](http://auric.gag.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=80)
-web store and [Apogee Components](http://www.apogeerockets.com/Electronics_Payloads/Altimeters/MicroPeak_Altimeter)
-
-Data download is available using the [MicroPeak USB adapter](../MicroPeakUSB).
-
-## Documentation ##
-
-The MicroPeak manual is available in
-[html](../AltOS/doc/micropeak.html) and
-[pdf](../AltOS/doc/micropeak.pdf) formats.
-
-## Software ##
-
-The MicroPeak application runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It
-communicates with the [MicroPeak USB adapter](../MicroPeakUSB) to download and analyze
-flight data. It's written in [Java](http://java.com) and offers the
-same functionality and interface on all three platforms. It uses the
-FTDI USB Serial drivers to communicate with the hardware. If you're
-running Mac OS X or Windows, a compatible version of those drivers is
-included with the software. You can also install a different from from
-the [FTDI Driver](http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm) page.

-## Hardware Features ##
-
- * Measure ground pressure and peak altitude pressure.
- * Logs 48 seconds of flight data
- * Orange LED blinks out maximum height in decimeters.
- * 18mm x 14mm. 1.9g including battery.
- * Power switch.
-
-The CR1025 battery holder is mounted on the back side of the board, so there are no external wires or batteries to manage.
-
-## Software features ##
-
- * Saves last flight data to non-volatile memory.
- * Reports previous flight on power-on.
- * Automatically shuts down on landing to preserve battery.
-
-## Battery Holder ##
-
-MicroPeak includes an integrated battery holder on the back side of
-the circuit board.
