    Introduction The “Eagle” is one component of RC Electronics model aircraft telemetry system. The unit is designed to measure many parameters of an R/C model aircraft and transmit them to the ground via the primary system telemetry back link. The unit is capable of measuring sink/climb rate (Vario), altitude, acceleration of the plane in all axes, noise level, servo pulse on servo input, GPS data with 18Hz refresh rate and supply voltage.

    Physical overview Pictures bellow are showing the Eagle unit. It has build in GPS antenna, one pressure port (Pte – total energy compensated pressure from TEK probe) and a multi-color LED to show the status of the unit. It also has 3 connectors. The micro USB is used for future updates, settings and flight log download. The 4 pin connector is prepared for future use (extended bus).
