Eagle Tree System

Does anyone have an eagle tree for sale? Or know where and what to get?

See them pretty cheap on ebay all the time.

Here's a full system for only $700!

(Oh wait, it's for a plane ... )

This is the car version for $150.

What accessories do you need. The current meter on that has a fairly low limit doesn't it?

I am looking to record amp draw, power consumption, rpm, possibly speed,etc.etc.etc. I know nothing about the system, I just read on here about everyones use of Eagle Tree for data recording. Any help in this matter is greately appreciated.

You can get the 150A, 70v system that will do what you want for $89 on tower.

You'll need to get sensors for temp and rpm, but they're pretty inexpensive.

Does this look like a good start for standard data-logging?

[sleebus.jones]

Yup, looks great. I also ordered the "wrap around" temp sensor for the motor, since the V3 can log two temps. I don't see it on tower, but it's on eagletree's site.

Sleebus: Were you able to get the speed function to work (I saw your post on eagletree forum) properly on your V3?

I kind of had it working until I had to change logging format from CDR to FDR and now I can't get it to work at all. Any suggestions?

Mike has them too, you can simple shoot him an email.

[kulangflow]

What's Mike's e-mail address? Is it on the site here somewhere?

[Serum]

Here, try this address

Is the 150 amp going to be enough? I know a lot of guys with the 100 amp system were running up to 120 amps (max reading) and needed more. It would be nice to know from someone that has the 150 amp system, if they are maxing it out as well. If it is enough (probably would be for my buggy at least), then I may have to get one.

No, I hadn't played with it any further. I will have to one day. :)

My first run out of the box with mine I hit 156A. No ill effects. :D However, I'm not sure what the max reading is.

Cool man, thanks I'll look into it.
