RCLogbook 2.0

 

“The programmers have done a fantastic job of capturing the essence of the iPhone's gestures, look, and feel. Whether it's the 'pinch' gesture to resize photos, the 'shake' that uses the iPhone's built-in accelerometers to start/stop timing, or using the standard iPhone's buttons and menus to move around, any iPhone user will feel at home using this program in no time.” — “Worth A Closer Look”, Model Aviation, February 2009


RCLogbook is an application designed by an RC pilot for RC modelers who need a convenient and effortless logging solution for their RC airplane, helicopter, care or boat models and batteries.

Once you enter some basic facts on your models and batteries (such as type, names, capacities, photos, and so on), RCLogbbok takes over to help you capture and edit information on flights (or races) such as the total time, notes, or average current draw.

RCLogbook is designed to integrate seamlessly with your modeling by traveling with you to the flying field, racetrack, or lake. RCLogbook provides a timer allowing you to update your logs as you fly or race your models.

With RCLogbook, you can keep a log of each flight or race of your model that includes the duration, notes, and the batteries that were used. RCLogbook automatically tracks the total time on the model, number of flights, and so on. RCLogbook‘s built-in timer is fully integrated with the tracking making it easy to gather information. The timer supports count up and down modes and can chime to let you know when you need to think about bringing your model back.

RCLogbook tracks battery charge and discharge cycles including resting voltages, discharge durations, and charge amounts. RCLogbook automatically updates discharge information at the end of a flight or race and can compute the average current draw during the flight or race. Using this information, you can watch the health of your batteries.

You can export the contents of the RCLogbook database to your Mac or PC through a CSV-formatted text file.

While RCLogbook is designed with electric-powered models in mind, it can be used with gas-powered models too.

New for version 2.0:

  1. Database supports both series and parallel cell counts for batteries

  2. Database supports per-model and per-battery notes fields

  3. Database contents can be exported to a CSV file

  4. Ability to enter flights without using timer

  5. Model type independent language to better work for helicopters, cars, and boats

  6. Ability to disable battery logging for each model to better support gas models

  7. Show average current of logged battery cycles

  8. Reduced timer sensitivity to shakes

  9. Performance improvements and bug fixes

  10. Many user interface improvements and changes

RCLogbook requires iPhone OS 2.2.1 or later and is available for the iPhone or iPod® Touch only from the App Store.
