Telemetry

[eldridge_racing]

Hi guys, Just want your views on telemetry from your handsets i/e engine temp....revs...battery voltage...fuel tank depth.......would it be something youd want from your handset or not bothered at all...what else would you want if it could be made available?

Not allowed is it according to the rules?

i know at sanctioned events its not but as a club racer i believe its ok.....just wondering as its used alot in aero modelling and just wondered on peoples thoughts for racing

I think Spektrum and Eagle Tree do systems.

True, be a good project though

There used to be the Nomadio Sensor radio whose big selling point was the real time telemetry. Such a big seller that Nomadio stopped making radios altogether.
The Eagle Tree datalogger first came into the UK through RC-Direct, but it's now imported by a company that specialises in plane telemetry.

Telemetry doesn't seem to appeal to racers.

It is written into the 1/8th off road rules to ban it. Data logging isn't specifically banned in 1/10th, but no doubt someone could try arguing the point regarding rule 23.13.

23.13 The 1/10th Off Road Committee are empowered to legislate at any time against any new equipment that in the opinion of the committee detracts from the essential skill of the driver controlling the car during racing.

Actually Terry your very wrong.

ALL BRCA clubs HAVE to comply to the BRCA general rules as do ALL sections

http://www.brca.org/sites/default/fi...204%20Site.pdf

below are quotes from the handbook general rules. (this was also the same for 2011)

10. Radio Equipment
The BRCA recognises the UKRCC as the national
authority for the UK on radio equipment.
The BRCA will work within the rules and
guidelines specified by the UKRCC RC Equipment
must be used in accordance with the manufacturers
guidelines. Any modification to any
component that may affect performance and/or

power of original equipments is specifically not

allowed. This applies especially to the aerial and
power source.
Only published frequencies are allowed (see
Handbook). The reversal of crystals is not allowed.
It is not allowed to use any form of active telemetry,
which in the opinion of the event officials
or steward, is judged to give a competitor
an advantage during any race. Therefore, it is
not allowed for any radio/wireless signals to be
transmitted from the car to an external source
during a race, that is judged by the officials to
give the driver a competitive advantage during

that particular race.
