This is a 3-probe temperature logger you can use to control how hot any system goes when running. In this example, I got a log file that shows the temperatue evolution of the main components of a brushless system: battery, motor and ESC.
The Arduino board selected for this proyect was the NANO one. As it is really light and small, I could set my temp logger into a running 1/8 RC buggy.
This system is light enough to be set into a RC plane, Boat,... or any machine, so that you can control its internal temperature.
Data is stored in a microSD card, every 3 seconds. The Catalex microSD adapter was the selected board.
At the beggining of this proyect, I used an Arduino UNO to test that Catalex board. You can see how to connect the Nano and de Catalex boards both, with in the code (as comments) and in this following picture:
The temperature sensors are three TMP36
And this is what you get when set into a RC 1/8 buggy:
This is a tough enviroment. Hits and landings make "peaks" or wrong temp redings.
