SSI-24 included both a Raspberry Pi 2B and two Arduino Uno boards. The Raspberry Pi was initially intended to be used to stream live video from the balloon, however, due to issues with the camera board, it was simply used as a wifi access point. The two Arduino boards regulated the sensors onboard the balloon, including a temperature sensor, two heating pads, an SD reader, a GPS, a solar panel, and an accelerometer. Though the group initially intended to use a PIXY camera as well, the PIXY's requirement to be updated with signatures made it difficult to use aboard the balloon.
