Altus Metrum TeleMega

This is a high-end recording dual-deploy altimeter for high power model rocketry with integrated GPS and telemetry link. The features included make TeleMega the ideal choice for complex projects including sustainers on multi-stage projects. In particular, pyro events are configurable and can be based on time and various flight events and status, including angle from vertical.

For the latest TeleMega firmware and related ground station software, please visit the AltOS page on this site. TeleMega v4.0 requires AltOS version 1.9.2 or later.

These are photos of production version 1.0 .. maybe someday we'll take photos of a newer version (?) .. but they look similar:
