This work presents the development and testing of a prototype based on Arduino® board that aims to collect information on cable-logging operations based on the monitoring of motion and inclination of carriage of a cable logging system. In detail, a GNSS sensor obtains the information of the position, meanwhile an accelerometer combined with a gyroscope registers tilt and vibration information. Type and timing of phases that compose a working cycle are obtained by an automatic procedure. The results are compared with a video acquisition taken as reference. The prototype has partially accomplished the main objective: the work cycle has always been recorded with a high precision, whereas the detection of the timing of operational phases observed some limitations in accuracy.
