Data
Scooby currently has no digital systems on board at all, but hopefully in the future at least some basic data logging will be developed.
Scooby Too (AKA Shaggy) has a PICAXE based current and voltage monitoring system. This is based around a PICAXE 20X2 chip.

The current measurement is undertaken by a hall effect sensor from http://www.devicecraft.com/ Datasheet here.
The data is logged on a micro SDcard using a fantastic bit of open source kit called OpenLog. Power it from the 5v line; send it some 9600bps data, and it logs it! Simple as! OpenLog Datasheet here.
