How do I log current and voltage?

Hi everyone,

I need to log power consumption in flight and I'm thinking of buying AttoPilot current and voltage sensor as adviced on the manual; I was just wondering if it's possible to log this info on the flash memory or if it's there purely to trigger events such as RTL in case of low battery level, etc

Thank you!!

Emiliano

It can be logged to the flash and the ground station.

Does that mean that once the sensor is properly connected and calibrated, voltage and current will be automatically added to the logs, or I need to somehow activate that?

Thank you Doug!!!!

Do you know any light weight, high-speed data logger with better throughput (write performance) than Logomatic v2 Serial SD Datalogger from Sparkfun ?
