Re: pic: Behold The Black Box

Hi

I was attracted to this thread by it's title, but now I'm confused...

A "Black-Box" is a datalogger, used to record what happens during flight (for later analysis), but what you are describing seems more of a serial I/O device... ie: there is no mention of data storage capacity.

Is the purpose of this board to expand the RC's I/O capability, or is it truly an event logger.

I needed a data logger this year, so I used a serial flash board from SparkFun to do the job simply. Here is the white paper: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2065
