Probe improvements

• increase radio range - 151MHz radio
• handle fast or adaptive sampling in its buffer
• increase buffer size - more eeprom
• change to MSP430F5xxx to reduce component count and increase RAM
• move to an OS - currently Contiki see Contiki for probes
• use bolt-together enclosure like the Tijuana version with Phil's mods
• circular probe PCB and separate RF pcb with sandwich of batteries
• need sleep current of a few microamps max.
• low noise, low sleep power PSU - see GW11-psu
• range of probe Sensors

Sensors will include accelerometers read over a period of time in order to read not only angle but any accelerations. Plus a good conductivity sensor and sensitive temperature sensor (thermistor).
