+# MicroPeak
+
+This is a peak-recording barometric altimeter for precision model
+rocketry altitude measurements.
+
+<a href="v0.1/micropeak-dime.jpg"><img
+src="v0.1/micropeak-dime-640.jpg"></a>
+
+Production units will be available from the
+[Garbee and Garbee](http://auric.gag.com) web
+store.
+
+## Features ##
+
+ * Measure ground pressure and peak altitude pressure.
+ * Blue LED blinks out maximum height in decimeters.
+ * 18mm x 14mm. 1.9g including battery.
+ * Power switch.
+
+The CR1025 battery holder is mounted on the back side of the board, so there are no external wires or batteries to manage.
+Here's a close-up view:

+
+### Software features ###
+
+ * Saves last flight data to non-volatile memory.
+ * Reports previous flight on power-on.
+ * Automatically shuts down on landing to preserve battery.
