Open-source lighweight bird trackers with radio.

The RadioJay project explores the feasibility of DIY open-source lightweight tracking tags with radio transmission for tracking birds. The primary goal is to be able to experiment with new technologies in order to enable new ornithological research in bird migration or other activities.

The tags section describes the RadioJay tags made so far. The "A" seriers contains an altimeter and accelerometer and transmits the barometric pressure in a Motus compatible format. The "G" series explores the use of a GPS, storing the data on-board for later transmission via radio.

The whitepapers section has short articles describing the various aspects of designing and making the tags.
