RC Electronics Eagle Micro Airborne GPS Unit

The “Eagle” is one component of RC Electronics model aircraft telemetry system. The unit is designed to measure many parameters of an RC model aircraft and transmit them to the ground via the primary system telemetry backlink. 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. For storage, it has internal fast solid-state storage which will record up to 20hrs of flying.

It has a built-in GPS antenna, one pressure port (Pte – total energy compensated pressure from TEK probe) and a multi-colour 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 downloads. The 4-pin connector is prepared for future use (extended bus). JR 3-pin servo input is used to measure normal PWM servo pulse or to transmit 3rd party telemetry protocol on it (depending on the unit setting). The unit gets power from the USB or JR connector. 

Telemetry output
Connect to back-channel of your primary RC system and transfer all the data from Eagle to the ground via secondary link. Note that the Eagle unit does not have any RF capability. You must use the Telemetry back channel functionality of your radio system. Jeti EX, Powerbox System, Graupner HOTT for example.
