[Stefan] sent in this data logger that was built for a weather balloon project. It's a very clean design that logs to a 64KB eeprom, can transmit its location via SMS through a cell phone and trigger a camera based on position if needed. The site has a tarball will full schematics and source - mod away.

1. Awesome project... I love GPS stuff...

I can think of a few applications like logging my road trips.

I wonder if this could be interfaced with bluetooth so that instead of SMS it can automatically dump the days' travels to a PC in my garage and update my website with the route I took.

2. Really really nice.

and as stupid as it sounds, I'm loving the translucent project box too!

So many applications, and a small package too.

Kudos!

If you got no way to open .ps use www.ps2pdf.com and convert them to pdf. Takes 3 seconds and you dont have to install any program.
