Sounds Great Bill.

Any upgrade path for version 2 owners?

Uh, I think the screen is plugged into the wrong place, here...




But, I am glad that you put the LCD on the bottom so the USB cable can be plugged in without having to unplug the LCD

I JUST bought a V2 from Tower (hasn't even arrived yet), is there an upgrade path/exchange, or do I need to just do a return/swap with Tower? I can wait until Nov 15 for V3.

Thanks.
Joshua

HI All,

Thanks for the feedback. Ha, we've got some work to do with that photo it appears. :-)

Re upgrade path, we generally offer that for products that we can phsyically upgrade (like the non-firmware upgradable FDR to upgradable version).

In the case of the MicroPower, the units cannot be physically upgraded (different PC board, microcontroller, components, etc.). This means that in your hands the V2 is a great, extensible logger for which we will continue to offer new sensors and software enhancements. But in our hands its a paperweight. :-)

Regards,

Bill, for Eagle Tree

I too have a V2 on the way to me, my questions is regarding the

"Greatly increased resolution/accuracy"

Where does this come in to play? Is current still only accurate to 0.1A or has that been improved? Are the basic function and accuracy/resolution regarding Volts and Amp measurement still the same? If they are then I'll keep the V2 as I don't need the higher Voltage and current features.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

100 or 150A through Deans connectors? Seems to be too much...

Electric Expander.

Hi

Any chance that the V3 will be able to use the Electric Expanders to give a second current measurement?

Two RPM's is a good step forward for uses with my contra rotating brushless motors, but two current measurement would be even better.

It'll also have an expanded memory. I can only log like 30 minutes on mine

Being able to daisy chain many micropowers to synchronise their data would be icing on the cake...

It will be better if there is a rebate or someting like that for exiting V2 owners who would like to get a v3.

My two cents. No offences intended.

Happy Flying !!!

Most things you buy in this hobby are not upgradeable in that way. WHen I bought a Spektrum DX6, they did not offer an upgrade path to the DX7 when it came out. Same with motors, servos, ESC, etc. As long as the continue to support the firmware and accessories, I think that is all you can really expect. Of course, There is never any harm in asking.

My $.02.
