Great fun watching Dave Akerman’s PIE4 – #RaspberryPi high altitude balloon

Dave Akerman’s PIE4 landed at approximately 2pm having reached a maximum height of 35,409m (~116,000 feet). The TARDIS-encased Raspberry Pi hit the ground in a field just off the B3353 near Whitley, Wiltshire. More details will be posted on Dave’s blog once he’s got back home and analysed the data.

Many thanks for the excellent coverage, particularly the live tracking map. Video feeds didn’t come through at my workplace (probably a firewall issue) but I had great fun watching the ascent, burst and descent virtually via the map.

Images from the stills camera are available here (and shown below, hopefully)
