Flight Parameters
This project measures the multiple paramters that are relevant to an airplane in flight with the help of a microcontroller with various sensors mounted on a model airplane flown by aeromodellers. The data from the airplane is transmitted to a microcontroller on the ground over the LoRa (Long Range) communication protocol. The microcontroller on the ground can be connected to a computer which will run a visualization app written in the Processing language that will display the parameters on a graphically simulated airplane cockpit instrument panel.
There are two circuits required for this solution:
1. Capture and Transmit Circuit (CTC)
2. Receive and Display Circuit (RDC)
The circuits used in this project and the sensors attached to each one are explained in the following sections.
