Here's a cool project to open source the telemetry data stream that the Aurora 9 RC gear uses:
Among others, one thing that makes the 2.4GHz Aurora 9 so great is the big LCD in combination with the full telemetry features of the Optima 7/9 receivers. These receivers contain a so-called data port that connects to Hitec’s sensor station. Sensor stations come in 2 flavors: a nitro version for gas and glow powered planes and a blue version for electric powered aircrafts.
But … Hitec’s sensor stations are not so versatile as they should be, therefore I developed one by myself. It works so great that I decided to share my design and introduce a DIY kit. Also great is that all software and hardware is open source. Build one by yourself or buy a DIY kit containing all necessary components and a professionally manufactured circuit board.
