If you get an error in device manager when you connect your Arduino or FTDI cable- you may have a different chip sometimes called a CH340. Windows does not currently automatically download the drivers for this so your component is not assigned a COM port.
Download the CH340 driver here and you will be all set:
Plug in your Arduino, FTDI cable, or other micro controller and run the exe. That's it! This problem seems to common on what people call the "Arduino clones" and "clone boards" but it actually has nothing to do with the source or board- it is purely the serial communication chip used. Easy fix!

Part 4 of the High Altitude Balloon project build- Arduino SD Card Data Logging a barometric pressure sensor. This update/tutorial covers the addition of the Adafruit 992- MPL115A2 Baro/Temp Sensor 5 volt 12C device. This will allow us temperature and altitude measurement. As well I add a simple voltage divider circuit to measure the on-board 7.4 volt LiPo battery voltage. Should work great.
Basically the plan is to launch a helium filled latex weather balloon to approximately 100,000 feet carrying a payload of cameras, experiments and data logging equipment. This will put it in the realm of near-space/stratosphere.
I will post the construction videos/tutorials as we progress through the build.
