Description
A full-fledged 10 Hz telemetry GPS with micro SD memory card, TEK Vario, and accelerometer!
The new version 3 replaces the GPS logger 2 and remains fully compatible.
The new hardware offers:
- a new GPS module for better GPS reception even under difficult conditions
- further improved pressure sensors for even finer vario resolution with lower noise
- a horizontally aligned TEK connection for easier installation, especially in narrow hulls
The GPS Logger 3 is a fully-fledged GPS system that was developed specifically for model building needs.
It is extremely small and light, but has excellent features and capabilities.
With a recording rate of up to 10 Hz and the micro SD memory card, recordings of almost any length with high detail resolution are possible.
Telemetry via 2.4 GHz systems with a return channel is an integral part of the GPS Logger 3 and is fully integrated.
In keeping with our philosophy of supporting as many systems as possible, the GPS Logger 3 also speaks telemetry of:
- Jeti Duplex
- Multiplex M-Link
- Graupner HoTT
- Futaba
- JR DMSS
- FrSky
- Spektrum (via Spektrum adapter)
- PowerBox Core
The telemetry used only needs to be specified once in the settings of the GPS logger 3. This is done either via our PC program “ GPS Converter ” or with the UniDisplay. HoTT is selected in the delivery state.
The GPS Logger 3 uses a built-in high-resolution pressure sensor to create a high-quality vario via telemetry and also enables the use of compensation nozzles with the integrated TEK connection. This gives you a Vario function that shows real rise and fall very accurately, regardless of the stick thermals.
For exact height measurement, even when operating with a TEK nozzle , a second pressure sensor is installed, which provides correct height data regardless of speed.
The built-in 3-axis acceleration sensor provides information about the loads during flight. The acceleration of all three axes can be displayed here at each waypoint in the recording and also via telemetry .
The new competition format OLC, the online contest, is also optimally supported by the GPS-Logger 3. The built-in noise sensor (ENL = engine noise level) provides data that automatically detects the engine running times during climb. The IGC file required for the OLC is created and digitally signed directly on the memory card; no conversion software is required.
The GPS Logger 3 can also be used for another competition format, namely Soaringleague.
Soraingleague.net is a new website for easy online evaluation of gliding flights with any model. Simple as it gets!
When operating with Multiplex M-Link, all data on the sensor bus is automatically logged by the GPS logger 3 and also written to the memory card > MSB data logger.
In addition to its own measured values, the GPS logger 3 can also read out the complete data from our UniLog 1 + 2 and UniSens-E live via a direct connection cable and write it to the memory card.
All measured values from the GPS Logger 3 can be viewed directly live via our UniDisplay. All settings and alarms can of course also be easily programmed via the display.
The data is displayed and evaluated in 3D in Google Earth TM . To convert to the Google Earth TM format, all you need is our free software “SM GPS Converter ” and the also free Google Earth TM in the standard version.
Our GPS Logger 3 is also supported by the well-known LogView software . Here the GPS data can also be converted into the Google EarthTM format. The values can also be displayed in normal curve form/tabular form and much more.
Based on Java and therefore suitable for Windows as well as Mac or Linux, there is the GNU DataExplorer for evaluating the data.
Regardless of whether it is a glider, aerobatic machine, helicopter, HLG or slow flyer, the GPS Logger 3 can be used in almost any area due to its low weight and compact size. Of course, the GPS Logger 3 is not only suitable for model flying. It can also be installed in RC boats, RC cars, etc.
And this is what the GPS logger 3 can do:
- 10 Hz GPS, i.e. 10 measured values per second,
particularly good resolution of the data - micro SD memory card
almost unlimited recording and easy data reading - Data is saved as plain text on the memory card
and further processing is possible with many programs - high-resolution Vario with TEK connection
- Height measurement with second pressure sensor with automatic zero setting after switching on
- Integrated 3-axis acceleration sensor up to +- 16 g
- Direct creation of the IGC file for the Online Contest (OLC) with integrated engine noise sensor for ENL measurement
- full telemetry support for Jeti Duplex , Multiplex M-Link , Graupner HoTT, Futaba , JR DMSS , FrSky and Spektrum (via Spektrum adapter)
- Direct connection of UniLog 1 + 2 and UniSens-E possible for data recording (not during Futaba , JR DMSS and FrSky operation)
- Recording of all data on the multiplex sensor bus when operating with M-Link
- Connection for receiver signal for remote control of certain functions
- Recording the receiver battery voltage
- Powered by receiver battery
- Internal backup battery (rechargeable battery) for a quick start of the GPS
- Start of recording can be set by various conditions
- Current status is signaled via three LEDs
- Direct viewing of the measured values live with our UniDisplay (not during Futaba , JR DMSS and FrSky operation)
- Parameter settings possible via PC, UniDisplay and telemetry
- Quickly convert the data into 3D representation with Google Earth TM using our free “SM GPS Converter ” software.
The program is available free of charge on our homepage www.sm-modellbau.de in the Software & Updates menu item . - Support through the LogView software
LogView is a very comprehensive yet easy-to-use evaluation program for the PC that supports a variety of different measuring and charging devices from the model building sector. - Support from the GNU DataExplorer software
The GNU DataExplorer is just as comprehensive as LogView and, in addition to Windows, is also suitable for Mac and Linux. - Free firmware updates possible via memory card (the firmware file is available on the Internet at www.sm-modellbau.de in the Software & Updates menu item)
-
Due to its compact size and low weight, it can be used almost anywhere
