    Hello again,

    today we want to show you our first prototype, don’t let your eyes betray you! It includes 3 gyros, 3 accelerometers, radio-link with a range of 10 miles, temperature sensor and GPS!

    This version only has one microprocessor, it is our workbench to study mechanical vibrations, radio interferences, interface with the aircraft motor and actuators, power consumption etc, and of course, for logging all our flights!

    Also we tested it under -18ÂșC, with LiPo batteries, without any thermal protection, and at this moment, it works fine under this conditions.
