  Title What would the pilot feel?
  Abstract The application submitted for review falls under the category of telemetry. A remote control model airplane was provided with a 2 axis accelerometer (Analog Devices ADXL210) connected to an eZ430-RF2500 target board. The battery voltage was also measured by the host microcontroller, a low power MSP430F2274, using the internal A/D converter. Once the measurements are taken, the results are preprocessed then packed and sent from the flying model to the base station located on the ground. The base station module is another eZ430-RF2500 target board connected to the USB port of a laptop computer through the USB debugger module. The data transmission uses the SimpliciTI communication protocol. The data received by the laptop computer from the Base Station connected to the USB port is furth
