Telemetry
}
The
\jetibox
can be used as a telemetry system during normal operation of the
motor. While this should not be used when the model is in the wind
tunnel
\footnote
{
Not really needed/useful and not enough space to put the
\jetibox
inside the fuselage.
}
, the telemetry could provide valuable insight
during the first programming steps of the ESC.
The
\jetibox
can be used as a telemetry terminal for post-run analysis or even
during
\textit
{
live
}
operation of the motor. It is recommended to prefer the
post-run telemetry rather than the live mode for safety reasons. In principle,
the live mode should be reserved for initial settings of the ESC on a test
bench.

\subsection
{
Safety procedure
}
The telemetry can be used to get direct measurements on the operating motor.
\textbf
{
This is the most dangerous way of operation
}
as it requires both the
motor to be running and the operator to stand close to the system. To ensure
maximal safety, this should be reserved for analysing the motor in isolation on
a test bench, not integrated in the
\MR
.
For post-run analysis, the ESC can be completely disconnected from the Arduino.
This will ensure that the
\jetibox
remains in Telemetry mode and the motors will
not accidentally start.
For post-run mode, the safety procedure is:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
Disconnect the ESC from the Arduino completely, or completely unplug the
Arduino.
\end{enumerate}
The following safety procedure should be observed for use in telemetry mode:
The telemetry can also be used to obtain direct measurements on the operating
motor.
