Michael Cooper sent us these amazing photos and data plots:
"I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I wrote my own firmware for the WiTilt, which gives 250 Hz of accelerometer data with 16x oversampling. The data is sent via Bluetooth^® connection to my Palm Tungsten, which takes care of logging."

"A couple of weeks ago, I took it for a BASE jump from my favourite 1200-foot cliff. I’ve attached data from the freefall portion of the jump and the first few seconds of canopy flight. The grid is 1 second on the x-axis, and 1 G on the y-axis. The black line shows total acceleration, while the coloured lines show each axis (after calibration). In the 'jump' plot, you can see clearly where I jump, at the 1 second mark, and where the canopy opens, at the 9.75 second mark, after 8.75 seconds of freefall. You can also see the point, at about 3 seconds, where wind resistance becomes significant, after which I appear to be resting on my belly on a cushion of air."

Now for slightly less adrenaline pumping photos - new products!

New USB eval board for our RFID readers. This simple board allows you to plug in the RFID module of your choice. Bring a card near the reader and you'll get a serial stream containing the unique ID of the card. Nice and simple. We've also posted the Eagle files to help out the SparkFun interweb of users.

GS406 is a powerful GPS receiver with a Sarantel Helical Antenna and a uBlox 4HZ engine. Now you can get solid GPS coordinates 4 times a second!

We brought back our WiFi category just for this new module. The WiFly is right up our alley: It's a simple to use, small, low-cost module, and this time it's for WiFi wireless. Now you can connect your embedded project over 802.11b with just a serial connection.

We've updated the pictures for our Button Pad breakout. We've also posted the Eagle files for this board!
