Re: PCB layout
Nice work, the tracker looks very good. I can see you spent a lot of time

Re: HABalloon Project
You can try, the code as I had originally submitted was large for the tiny 328 memory and might be prone to memory errors if too much is asked of it. The code should be streamlined more to improve
