EasyMega V2

This is a high-end recording dual-deploy altimeter for high power model rocketry. The feature set is identical to TeleMega, but without the integrated GPS and telemetry link. This makes EasyMega an ideal choice for complex projects including sustainers on multi-stage projects where integrated radio functionality isn't needed. 4 of the 6 pyro events are configurable and can be based on time and various flight events and status, including angle from vertical.
