That one wire Autometer sensor is the only short sensor that I have seen.
Is there anywhere else you use for getting the temp or add some hose/fittings to use the Fragola/tee setup?

Would either of these possibly work?

Autometer has a short one-wire sensor that will work (p/n 2259), assuming what you are screwing it into is grounded. The calibration curve is readily available with some searching and of course you will need to use a pull up resistor. Otherwise - for things like oil temp, diff temp, etc where you ar...

If it is a thermocouple, which likely it is (and K type), you will need a 0-5 volt amplifier. These amplifiers are widely available and I think you can find the sensors very easily as they are used in karting (and elsewhere).

Dash4 updates

Hello - can this year's updates to the Dash4 be applied to older units or was there a change in hardware?

Thanks.

Most brake pressure sensors that I have seen are ratiometric, with an output from .5v to 4.5v. So .6v at rest isn't crazy, and they are a little noisy given the large range that they cover.

You are powering all of these with the DL1 5v output?

What is your grounding setup?

FWIW, you can enter your values and voltages in the "custom equation" field for a variable (in the Analysis software) and it will spit out an equation in the proper form, no need to worry about syntax errors.

Dash4 Pro - Reference Sector Times

Is this feature available for the Dash 4 (looks like it is available on something, from the link below)? If not, I suppose I need to keep my best lap times on the memory card?

Well, I thought I had checked out prior data but this calc'd power dropoff seems to be inherent in the calculation as data from years past shows this behavior as well. It seems like the calculation averages a bit of data in front of and behind the given point for which the HP is calculated. I assume...

Interpreting sharp loss of calc'd HP

I am having a tough time reaching what I think my top speed should be and I noticed that calc'd HP is dropping like a brick. I have backed into the CdA based on my known dyno HP level, so I can compare different runs. I believe this drop shows that I have either an engine/tune issue (it is fine on t...

Correct.
I can log on the Vid4 when it is used in isolation.

DL1 Mk3/Video 4/Dash4 - Command Failure Timeout

Hello. I am trying to get my Mk3, Dash 4 and Video 4 to work together. I can get the Mk3 and Dash 4 to work, but after adding the Video 4, I get a "Command Failure Timeout" error message on the Dash 4. I am not sure what the issue is. The Video 4 has the default data settings for a connect...

sorry, was getting user variables mixed up with external inputs.
I have no answers on this one other than to check your syntax (does your actual equation have the extra spaces?).
