Table 1—The packet schedule was created to keep the system simple and flexible, and functioning in real time. The slower sensors (e.g., temperature sensors) are low priority. The sensors with more important data, like engine RPM, are sent on every radio transmission. The 0.125-s timing gives eight readings per second and uses the ATmega128’s internal timer to control the schedule.
