====Radio Transceivers====
* Sena Bluetooth transceiver: http://www.senaindustrial.com/products/industrial_bluetooth/sd.php

===GPS===
* GPS Antenna source (trimble alternatives)
** http://www.tallysman.com/index.php/gnss/products/
** including this link thinking that for alternative gnss systems like below... to use the OPUS site you still need to pair it with a tested antenna for best positioning results.
* GPS http://tersus-gnss.myshopify.com/products/rtk-bundle-915mhz
* https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12861 (SMA extender) (can also find similar at digikey)
* https://github.com/Knio/pynmea2
* https://github.com/dwtkns/gdal-cheat-sheet

===Power Sensors===
* USB Power monitor
** http://www.amazon.com/PortaPow-Monitor-Version-Multimeter-Chargers/dp/B00NTU18KY/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1QX0K7XH4S2AP4NWDE89

====Snow Sensors / Distance Transducers ====
* This one has models for both water and snow:
** http://www.maxbotix.com/Ultrasonic_Sensors/High_Accuracy_Snow_Sensors.htm
** price is 150 - 200 depending on options.
** SR50A is $860 plus $100 for each replacement transducer.

* http://dronecode.github.io/MAVProxy/html/index.html

===Electronic Components===
* wired up stereo miniplug
** http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/10-00341/839-1036-ND/2350244
* Barrel connector for stereo miniplug
** http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SJ5-43502PM/CP5-43502PM-ND/1956558

===Odds and Ends===
* http://www.engineersupply.com/crain-5-8-x-11-double-male-prism-adapter-part-91133.aspx
* Eye.Fi card server for linux: http://kin.klever.net/iii/
** was thinking this could be used in the context of taking pictures from the snow laser system with sort of an eye on keeping all data streams in a common place until backup.
** http://www.johnaldred.com/eye-fi-on-linux/
* http://supervisord.org/ (maybe a more straightforward way of setting up services on remote computers)

===Iridium===
* Send SBD message:
** https://sourceforge.net/p/microtransat/code/HEAD/tree/iridium_sbd_library/
* Parse and translate the received message:
** https://github.com/gadomski/sbd
* emulate the iridium network for testing purposes:
** https://github.com/jmalsbury/virtual_iridium/wiki

* Arduino SBD message sender
** http://arduiniana.org/libraries/iridiumsbd/
* maybe also:
** https://github.com/mikalhart/IridiumSBD

* rPi style:
** http://www.makersnake.com/rockblock/
** Yeah that thing looks like the future. https://www.rock7.com/shop-product-detail?productId=4
