Feather for near space balloon project….need help!

Post by Ludwiggler »

I’m including my shopping list below. I want to put together a data logger using the Feather microprocessor and a bunch of sensors/gps. We will attach to a weather balloon. Tracking is courtesy of a spot gps unit. I have no experience putting together a feather data logger like this and wonder if I’m going the wrong direction. The sensors would be put on the outside of an insulated container using the stemma cables. As a side note, I know it’s going to be cold and lithium batteries do better in the cold. Are there any ideas for alternative battery packs?
