B3C2 updates
GPS
The gps is installed and working like a champ. I tested it by adding 500 feet to whatever the gps reports for altitude, then drove around in my car like I was flying. This allowed me to test the direction and the time to release and it seemed to work really well.
Kult's equations
I installed Dan's equations into the ballistic model and they worked like a champ. At 500 feet there was a difference of 60 feet between his model and my not nearly as fancy model. So hopefully no matter how you look at it we are 60 feet more accurate now.
This Week
I need to clean the gps code up a little as well as get some sort of gps record going. Wednesday Josh and I are going to recon Normandy and see if its a valid location. Also this should give us a chance to test the B3C2 in the actual aircraft for the this first time. I hoping the gps signal will be more accurate when we are in a plane. Finally, I am expecting to get a picture back from the patch people on exactly what the patch will look like.
