Mission Patches for Ardusat-2

Today is the day that Ardusat-2 gets released from the ISS. If anyone has an idea for a mission patch, we'd love to see it. Our favorite design will get a mission patch with their design!

SDK Updates

Hi Everyone! We've made some great changes to the ArdusatSDK. Those updates include: 

• Added Gyroscope library
• Modified Accelerometer library to be compatible with I2C 
• Improved overall handling of I2C communication

Ardusat-utils

Thanks to J.F. Omhover, there's also some great new tools for you to try out while you're working on your experiment. They include: 

• AppStorage “emulators” : two libraries (SAT_AppStorageEMU, SAT_AppStorageEMUSD) to smoothly replace SAT_AppStorage during the development of your experiment, they divert all the output data to the Serial port or to a SD file
• SamplingLib : series sampling for data reduction
• DataLib : formatting scheme and decoder to send/read binary data from AppStorage
• HeatShrinkLib (experimental) : a library to compress data 
• I2C Scanner (sketch) : an I2C scanner that scans for available sensors connected to your Arduino’s I2C port, and outputs a comprehensive list

3D Printed Ardusat

Finally, if you're a 3D printing aficionado, check out this thingiverse project to print your own Ardusat look-a-like (okay, it's a little more colorful than the real thing).
