Raw GPS output can't be in metres, because that's meaningless. You can't say London is at Xm and Ym, because there is no reference. Degrees however, have a standard reference (0,0), and can therefore be used as a global positioning system. Quite why the monitor program shows the units as m I don't k...

Aren't the GPS positions is decimal degrees? Thus 13.93361 is actually (with the comma replaced with a decimal point) 13° 56' 0.9954" and 51.52894 is 51° 31' 44.1834" That's how I understand it anyway, and it represents your position on the planet relative to the equator and the Greenwic...

Indeed. 1. If speed > 20km/h then write the last x minutes of data and begin logging. 2. If speed > 20km/h then wait 5 minutes to stop logging. So, above 20km/h it starts logging, but is constantly wanting to stop logging too. When the speed drops below 20km/h is is neither trying to start or stop l...

Yes - it will start recording above 20, and stop recording above 20. You've confused it.

Autostop needs to be < 200

Howard - you are so going to have to teach me all of this! I tried Lapsim and just got totally confused... I'll try and find you in the paddock next time out

Chasecam PDR100, with datalogging overlay via Trackvision. Chasecam not entirely flawless, as the PAL version has some black areas around the edge and a line of 'static' at the top, which is easily cropped (and not visible on a TV screen, but is on a computer monitor), whilst the Trackvision also is...

Can you send me the latest firmware for a Mk1 DL1 (Green connector blocks)

Thanks

That depends. Whilst you've got my DL1 you might upgrade it for me. If you don't then I'd like to have the latest.

If you are actively trying to measure a vibration then you'll need to be sampling the data at a high frequency - 1000Hz, maybe more. If you're just trying to see how wobbly something is then you might be okay. But bear in mind my rigid car, with the engine off, not moving, inside out of the wing sti...

I would have thought a plug/end or even a middle tap would be enough. A taper tap is unlikely to help on a short thread though, and most 'toolkits' only seem to come with taper taps...

Perhaps try and borrow a plug tap from a local garage for ten minutes?

On your last post it has a properly named RUN file in the 21st folder, and none of the folders seem to be called xxx.run. Am I missing something? Also, bear in mind that the DL1 doesn't like it if you remove files or folders from the card without reformatting, so you either leave everything on the c...

Failed in what way? Didn't record data? Didn't stay turned on? Wires came out (unit lost power or earth)? Obviously making sure the firmware is flashed properly, and that the unit s setup correctly are good ideas. The card must be FAT16 (not FAT32). And the wires need to stay in! We can probably hel...

Make a bar chart, and select TPS as the variable, with the percentage check box ticked, but not the culmulative distribution. This will show the percentage of time at various throttle openings. The greater the number of intervals the smaller each percentage would be (makes sense if you play with thi...

Did you put in other values into the equation generator, like full throttle as well? What happens if you remove the equation, and just show voltage? And what does the value equal if you put the voltage through the equation manually (on paper, or a calculator)?

The RED wire goes to the 5V Output on the DL1 (assuming you have a DL1), the BLACK wire goes to earth (any earth is okay, as long as it's a good one), and WHITE wire goes to an analogue input. The equations are either in the Analysis/Dash config software, in the manual (or online knowledge base), or...
