NTX2 Radio working with Arduino UNO

Made some good steps forward today with getting my own HAB tracker up and working. Using a number of items i already had from other projects i managed to get the NTX2 radio module transmitting and picking up a signal from a GPS module.

I then went on to add a BMP180 module to act as another sensor i could practice adding into the telemetry broadcast back through the NTX2 radio.

So far have the external temperate added to the telemetry data.

Took a bit of doing but slowly understanding changing  between variables and working with strings. Still need to work on ensuring things like flight mode kick in on the GPS so it works at high altitude.
