# Rocket Altimeter

This Arduino sketch uses a [LightBlue Bean](https://punchthrough.com/bean/), [Bosch BMP085 barometer](http://www.adafruit.com/products/391) and a couple of [switches](http://www.adafruit.com/products/391)

to record and display maximum measured altitude. It was originally designed to be strapped

to a rocket to record how it reached.

Button A sets the unit to altitude recording mode. Button B exits recording mode and 

displays the maximum altitude reached with a series of blinks: first the hundreds position,

then tens, then ones. For example:

    [blink] ... [blink][blink] ... [blink][blink][blink]

Reads 123 feet. There is a slight delay (750ms) between each digit position.
