As some of you know, in the documentation for the Quark is the mention of an Eggtimer Telemetry Module. This was a board that I did a proto for that was supposed to send altitude and possibly deployment status data to an Eggtimer LCD receiver, much like the TRS but without the GPS data.
I haven't had a chance to develop it any further, but I've been getting some feedback that users would like some kind of general telemetry I/O board that they could use to interface their own sensors and whatnots. I'm thinking of adding a few digital and analog inputs to the Telemetry Module, and making them configurable so you can control what the data looks like on the receiving end.
So, what I'm looking for is:
1) How many analog/digital inputs do you think is a good number? (The A/D inputs would probably be normalized to 1V p-p)
2) What sampling rate is acceptable?
3) How many A/D bits do you think is acceptable?
and the big one...
4) How much would you be willing to pay for the transmitter? It would work with existing Eggtimer receivers.
Thanks for your input!
