Balua is going to friedrichshafen international ham fair! We will be watching an HAB demonstration and keep updated about the latest technologies in radio communication. Stay tuned for updates. More info  

New GPS modules have arrived to Balua’s HQ ! Goodbye Venus GPS Receiver with heavy antenna and higher power consumption. Welcome Mr. Ublox max6 with low power consumption and lightweight Sarantel antennas. It’s Christmas time here!

Last developments on communications: Software Defined Radio (RTL-SDR)  running on Raspberry Pi via TCP. Check out the picture, SSH to the Pi and SDR# client receiving data. The client is 400km apart form the radio itself (and the RasPi).  A real useful tool for tracking our balloon!

Balua’s new laminator for fast PCB prototyping using toner transfer has arrived. Know we can start prototyping the next PCB’s for launch. The RTTY communication board will probably be the first!
