Race Car Telemetry

G'Day GuysIve been looking at the site for some time now and finally decided to join up. Its a great site. I am currently working on a EPP Wing UAV as a first step into the realm of DIY UAVs.However, I wish to ask another question, my university builds a Formula SAE open wheel race car and i was wondering if its possible to use the wireless units oftern used in UAVs in the car to send back real time data. Is it possible to wire the telemetry units to act as a vertual USB cable? or do you have suggestions of how we could do that.ThanksAlex

  • so the unit that is normally mounted on the aircraft could just have a USBcable from our ECU (engine control unit) and then the receiver could have a USBlead to our laptop. Thanks for the help chris most appreciated

    The Xbees we use for telemetry use USB cables but only for serial--they show up as Com ports on PCs. Does that work for you?
