When telemetry is involved, strings generated by the mcu are sent to the telemetry device or pc. The strings are not needed by the main mcu.

It is possible (not available) for us to replace strings inside arduino code with eeprom pointers or to replace strings with numeric constants.

In the case of numeric constants these could be automatically created during compile time and a .h file could be automatically placed in a different sketch folder.

This would dramatically reduce the sketch sizes for many users.
