Audible Altimeter is a speaking altimeter. It acts as a mechanism for skydivers to maintain altitude awareness while skydiving. Designed by a skydiver, it aims to match the simplicity and reliability of most modern audible devices, yet still be cost-effective compared to the typical audible altimeters on the market. The audible reports essential altitudes between 15,000 feet to 0 feet. It can be turned on with a simple flick of a switch and is dimensionally designed to fit into most skydiving helmets.
The audible can be assembled at home! Feel free to view the wiki to see how it can be assembled.
