The Cambridge GPS antenna coax cable is very, very thin and was located inside the box to prevent damage. Battery life was tested and found to be good for 12 hours of use. A planned second version of the case would have reduced the overall size but was never built. The original clear plastic box shown below is oversized as it was designed to hold a larger rechargeable battery. Fairly large, therefore difficult to find a secure mounting location. While this worked well it had several drawbacks Ruggedized so that normal use by pilots with a variety of skill levels would not easily damage the unit.Īnd a small gell-cell lead-acid battery. Operate for at least 6 hours without an external power source. #Light logger cumulus soaring portable
Self contained, self powered and portable for use in multiple gliders. Therefore some form of electronic flight recorder needed to be used. While the club had several mechanical barographs, they were deemed not viable as they were difficult to use and needed to be calibrated once a year. As the club members interests in cross country soaring grew, I was tasked with creating a flight recorder that everyone could use in our club ships.

Pushbutton and LED's for manual wakeup to server and diagnostic purposes etc.I am the electronics maintainence chairman for my glider club ( Sky Soaring near Chicago).
#Light logger cumulus soaring Bluetooth
Onboard Bluetooth can stream diagnostic information about signal strength, network status etc. Ideal for leak detection, alarming and water shut-off control to prevent water loss. Remote programming of all setup parameters via GSM link or SMS. Information is internally logged, time and date stamped and transmitted at programmable intervals. Logging intervals from 1 minute to 1 month. Large onboard non-volatile memory - This logger can record in excess of 11000 records (application specific) for later download. 1 x Digital output (max 500mA at 50V) - This output can be used to operated a valve, solenoid or similar device. 1 x Digital input - Used for general input application. The echo output will allow this logger to be connected in conjunction with another device requiring use of the same pulse output. 2 x Pulse inputs with echo output - Pulse inputs are used on metering devices that supply a pulse output for a measured amount of product. This option will also function under battery operation. The Cumulus logger can generate a stable 24V output at a maximum of 30mA allowing for the powering of an external piece of equipment or current loop device eliminating the need for a secondary power supply. Used for any sensing device with a 4-20mA output. This port is also well protected against large voltage transients. The isolated Modbus/RS485 interface can be used on a large number applications or sensing equipment. All lithium batteries need to be shipped as hazardous cargo that is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve as many airlines are no longer allowing these batteries on their aircraft. 
Other problems involving lithium batteries are the restrictions when shipping using airfreight.
Many other loggers use lithium batteries that are expensive and difficult to obtain. This logger uses 3x standard D Cell alkaline batteries that can last in excess of 5 years under normal usage.
Uses standard off-the-shelf alkaline batteries. Battery or mains operated with battery failover in dual mode. Bluetooth interface - setup and manual data collection can be achieved through the Bluetooth interface negating the need for cables that invariably fail during continuous use. Networks are plotted automatically on Google Earth giving the client a precise location of assets in the field. Uses GPRS/EDGE/3G GSM (UMTS/HSPA) technology.
