The perfect tool for monitoring such parameters as engine temperatures, rpm electrical voltage, amperage throughout the flight envelope etc. Straight forward to set up here is a guide as used in this model.

Wiring Schematic |
|
| |
This set up allows for monitoring the actual voltage/load as supplied to the Rx and servos via the Regulator as opposed to wiring battery to E-logger first, which would show 7.4v at battery. Additionally the FlightTech regulator has a built in voltage monitor for the battery via a three LED display - green, yellow, red -don't fly.
It's important to note that the E-Logger has a built in regulator for providing power to the add-on sensors and Power Panel. When using heavy loads such as above 30v and GPS it is worth adding the additional battery backup harness which then takes the load off the E-Loggers internal regulator. Also, the display of the Power Panel is somewhat reduced by voltages lower than 5.0v. So in the case above by running the regulated flight pack 5.5v (via y-lead) to the E-logger battery backup harness guarantees a good Power Panel display in daylight.
In the example above the Battery Backup Harness uses a switch (on flight pack y-lead) so as not to power the flight system when connecting the USB from PC for live mode & programming.
