Forget TV - tell those kids they need to put their Pongsats on the Web! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />I'd like to see some of the results from some of those little experiments, but nobody wants to post them anywhere.

Your wish is granted.<br /><br />Go to the JP Aerospace site (www.jpaerospace.com) and go to the Update Log, then look under 'Space Education in Action'.<br />A creator of one of the more complex PongSats shows his PongSat with the hood off. He shows the board and sensor layout, the code and even the wiring diagram.<br /><br />It's amazing what you can do in such a small space.<br /><br />JP <br />www.jpaerospace.com
