Well we had the NOTAM, we had the kit but unfortunately the weather wasn’t in our favour. We decided on balance it would be better to abort the launch than risk landing on Leeds ! Some last minute testing on before our posponed revealed some rather catastrophic errors in the code that would have generated some real issues.
Having run some live data through a GPS simulator and fed it into the code it became rapidly apparent I havd a very bad case of padding bugs. I re-wrote the whole thing and did the work in integer space instead as floating point to string sucks on Arduinos.
I have reapplied for a NOTAM so watch this space!
