Low Cost Telemetry and Data Logger Flysky/Turnigy

In a previous project I developed a GPS data logger for RC aircraft but I did not have feedback on the receiver. So I modified the prototype

Story

1 INTRO :

In a previous project, I describe a low cost GPS data logger for rc aircraft, but without telemetry.

The telemetry is very important in aeromodelling for controlling battery level, altitude and more.

This project describes a very low cost data logger for rc aircraft with real telemetry on the transmitter for put in in a radio controlled plane.

More, the power for arduino be made by the receiver of the plane to have less weight on the plane and with a small size.

2 CHOICE OF MATERIAL :

My choice is,

For the microcontroller : Arduino nano generic

For the GPS : UBLOX NEO-6M V2

For the sd card reader/writer : generic but the less weight as posssible

For the box : ABS box

I made this choice so as to have the smallest components possible (I did not choose the arduino micro for lack of memory) and with the least weight.

3 ASSEMBLING :

The wiring must be done with the minimum length of wire and without the connectors on the electronic cards so as to lighten the final assembly to the maximum.

4 DISPLAYING:

the data is displayed on the transmitter by selecting the sensors and setting the alarms

5 RESULT

In the next video you can see the result.

The data can be import in google earth for visualisation of the trajectory of the plane.
