Eagle Tree USB Micro Power E-Logger

[ReddyWatts]

I see that you have started carrying the Eagle Tree USB Micro Power E-Logger. That is just to cheap to pass up. Gotta have one of those. Do you have the real time display addon, that goes with it? I would like to see the amp reading in the field and then check the running log on a PC when I get home.

Redyd, I think you have to download thee info from the run BEFORE disconecting the power source. f this is true you will need a laptop at the pond. Double check, I have been wrong alot of times.:)

Ill be takin my laptop to the lake...Just becaue it will look kewl sittin there setup connected to the boat after a run:D. I may get a cingular air pc card so I can post the results and videos in real time......Yes I am KING of the geeks:p .

This might be a silly question but the software is not compatablie with a Windows Mobile device is it? That would be a lot better than taking my laptop to the pond which I totaly refuse to do. Phone... yes, Macbook Pro.. No way!

[Jeff]

SJFE,That would be uber geek:D

I was looking on e-bay for a beater laptop, you need windows 2000 or better. Not much processer speed or memory. I would also be able to use the castle link at the pond.
Toshiba tecra's seem to be the cheapst that have enough oomph to do it. Looks like 175.00 too 275.00 + about 50.00 for shipping a refurbished one. It seems the battery is the week link. They do not replace it or warant it's condition. Most have windows xp and wireless card and enough software to do the graphing for each run. I really don't know much about computers and was using the buy it now for prices.

Tell ya what...You can have everything I know about computers...then maybe my phone will stop ringing......LOL. Don't worry about the battery. Pick up a power inverter for 25 bucks and run it off the car battery. If you buy a low end machine like that strip every program off it but what you are using to log data. It will work fine.

Do you mean the lcd? If so, its listed right under the micro logger

same

Ok, I found it under tools, but if you click on the home page "E-logger" link it does not show the addons. Thanks!

[Steven Vaccaro]

The site doesn't work that way. I'm working on how to make things listed with each other.

The page you are referring to with this software is called the details page. If there are more details to any product you can click the picture or the "details" link on the right. And the product opens in its own screen

I was reading about the E-Logger. It has a permanent memory that will hold your information without the batteries connected. So you can wait until you get home and use your home PC to diagnose your running log. Great for people that do not have laptops. They also have an external battery for it, just in case your boat batteries voltage gets below 4.5 volts in your run.

All data is logged to permanent memory, which retains the data even when the power is removed

Logs pack current to +/- 100 amps and voltage from about 4.5 volts to 45 volts

Current is measured with a true Hall Effects Sensor - NOT a resistance shunt!
Great for bench monitoring of battery charging also!

Fully Compatible with Windows Vista, 98SE, ME, Win2K and XP™
Integrated USB with included cable (NOT a USB to serial port cable like other loggers)

Weighs about 0.5 oz (17 grams). Version with Wire Leads weighs slightly more.

Adjustable logging rate (1-10 samples/second) and lossless data compression for long log times

Amazing video!!!

That is an amazing video...

I placed my order with OSE yesterday for the Micro-V2 system... Easy to order... Just started at the logger and added one of everything below it down the list!

I just wish it would do up to 150amps... though I've been told by others who have used it that they have recorded as high as 135amps on it, so we'll see.... Definately like the Brushless Motor harness... and I think this will really help with getting my smaller boats set up for ultimate performance... It's always hard to get an N1-Mono or small brushed boat running just right... Usually when you push it a little too far... the brushes tell you so... so it'll be nice to see where the edge is without frying a motor doing it...

You running one of those 1040 Watt N2 boats this year Darin?

No dude... those are a myth... Just a lot of hype... I'm running a 26" DH Mono with a Neu 1515 1D and B125 ESC on 2S2P Lipos... It's a rocket, will barely stay on the water, and nothing gets over 100-degrees.... not even close actually....

I tried running 2S1P packs... but the packs were getting into the 140-degree range... 2S2P comes in around 90... No more battery worries, so until the "C" ratings on these cells gets up to speed... I'm just ducky with the parallelling allowances...

... I'll worry about 1040 Watt N2 boats when they happen... I think I'll have peace of mind for some time to come...

Someone told be yeaterday that they are coming with a 40" N2 that is pulling 1000 watts and it's going to leave a huge wake and take all of you small boat guys out the first lap.
