The SkyAssistant is a small on-board device which indicates the models vertical speed by an audible signal. Lift is indicated by a pulsed tone with rate and frequency of the pulses depending on the climb rate. Sink is indicated by a low, continuous tone depending on the sink rate. Audible signal and voice messages are transmitted by radio and can be received on standard LPD, PMR or FRS radio.

 

Additional features of the SkyAssistant include:

  • voice announcement of altitude at reach definable altitude step (default every 50 m)

  • voice announcement of on-board battery voltage, a message at each voltage drop of 0,1 V and a voice alarm if it drops below a definable value

  • voice announcement of temperature (battery, engine or air) in °C with temperature data logging

  • measurement of value and stability PPM signal and definable sound signal if interference is detected

  • measurement of atmospheric pressure

  • triggering voice messages of measured values (altitude, voltage and temperature) and device status

  • recording of all measured values into flash memory (logging time >10 h in typical conditions: 5 parameters every 200 ms)

  • easy firmware updating

  • all data can be downloaded and graphed for off-line analysis

Package contents: SkyAssistant in transparent heat shrink tubing, MiniUSB cable, Temperature sensor on 15 cm long cable (you can choose another length), printed user manual, software and USB driver.
