Introduction to Telemetry

2015 World Solar Challenge will be held from 18 - 25 October. SunSPEC 4 is participating and in the progress of building. SunSPEC4 consists of electrical and mechanical systems. One of the electrical system is telemetry.

What is telemetry?
Telemetry is the wireless transmission and reception of measured quantities for the purposes of remote monitoring environmental conditions or equipment parameters.

Telemetry system is important in a solar car as it measures information of the car and transmits them to the team. Crucial and real time information can be obtained during the race, which allows us to come up with strategy to complete and the race. Monitoring of SunSPEC can also be done through telemetry.

Further updates on telemetry will be here soon!
