Building a static sled type kite, measuring tension between the kite and a sea anchor (drogue) using variable resistive elastic and a spring for tension limited by some rope to stop over-stretch

Bela mini weighs 60g + 5V battery. A waterproof loudspeaker at 300g can sonify the Bela.
Bela is a near zero latency platform for audio synthesis

Let’s do a kite making day as a platform for flying audio tech
If you would like to attend please tag this post and state preference, weekend, weekday school holiday, or weekday eve. Once we begin we could also attend an electronics evening and build the tension sensor. We can apply for a small budget from @textilestechs to work together building a prototype from opensource plans
