i add small bluetooth module with 9TURBO RC sound & light control unit.
and write new firmware for control allthings by bluetooth instead of RC servo signal.
my modified RC S&L control unit have this feature . . .
+ control it via bluetooth
+ 3 channel for servo control
+ 8 channel for lamp set control
+ engine, exhaust, horn sound

i want to have telemetry feature in my ADT79 BT-RC system.
i start to development for this feature on few days ago.
until to this night June 7,2013.
my RC S&L control modified unit have ability to send battery’s voltage value and temperature value
to show on Android smartphone in perfectly.

i add socket for temperature sensor and for RPM sensor to my RC S&L control unit.
and add circuit for detect battery voltage(i use R divider).
and write firmware for support these sensors.
now i can send battery voltage value and tempareture value to android smartphone via bluetooth.
the next step, i will do support for RPM sensor.
