Introdcution to Telemetry - Solar car SunSpec4

For this year, we will be taking part in the World Solar Car Challenge 2015 that will be held from 18 - 25 October. The name of our new solar car is called the SunSpec4. The SunSpec4 car built-up consists of both electrical and mechanical systems aspects. In our case, we are focusing on the electrical system aspect which is - telemetry.

Telemetry as defined by http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/telemetry  is, "The wireless transmission and reception of measured quantities for the purpose of remotely monitoring environmental conditions or equipment parameters." The term is also used in reference to the signals containing such data.

As such, in the context of our solar car - SunSpec4 - the telemetry system is an important aspect of the car. It measures live logging of data information of the car which sends to the team through wireless connection. Since obtaining and monitoring of live data logging of information is important and crucial during the race, in this blog, we will be posting updates on our research and progress which will help us in the strategy planning for the race completion.

We would like to apologize for our timeline of posts which does not harmonize with our schedule.

On a final note, welcome to our blog! =D
