While many of us know about the TinyTrak family, I didn't realize there were a few other places with similar equipment.
One (the OpenTracker+) seems pretty similar to the TT, but has a built-in temperature and voltage sensor and supports sending some basic telemetry data as well.
It might be interesting if someone who can program well (which rules me out) could hack the firmware to send parameters that would be more interesting to pilots. I'm not sure what you'd send - possibly OAT, AOA data, airspeed?
Anyways, if anyone finds any interesting equipment that could be used for APRS, let everyone know.
