Default Telemetry Thread

Calling all telemetry users!

I'm using various types of telemetry, on the ESC and now I have an Arduino with accelerometer shield hoping to make it write the data on a SD card or send it wirelessly. As always I will share my work with you.

I recall user Roelof made something similar but not with an Arduino.

Will add pics afterwards.


The materials used on this project:
- Arduino Nano for it's size;
- GY-521 accelerometer;
- Male to female jumper wire;
- Included code for both the data-logging and I2C (had to download I2Cdev for the code included with the shield to work), the included examples have both features separated but as a former Programming student I could add data-logging to the sensor read program.

The Nano is powered by the Rx battery and outputs 3.3v for the shield which uses I2C bus, seemed better than the other code example but is way more complicated, the pros outweigh any disadvantage. Now got to figure how to wire the SD card reader and design a box to fit it all in.
