Is there a way to get data from an Arduino into the DL1 using the serial input of the DL1?

Basically what format do I need to provide coming out of the Arduino to get the DL1 to log this data?

Thank you!

This is a great question. I would assume that an ECU interface is required, and that RT would create a configuration file specific to the data format? Perhaps using a CAN shield for the Arduino and a RT CANBUS ECU interface is an option?

I'd think you would just format the data coming out of the Arduino to match what the DL1 isd expecting. No conversion cable required.

Hello,

Here is our data format>>> http://www.race-technology.com/wiki/ind ... DataFormat

If you can program the Ardunio to match this protocol then no interface is needed.

Is that table up to date with the channels that the DL1 Mk3 has?

-Kyle

Yes, extended channels can be found inside those channels>>> http://www.race-technology.com/wiki/ind ... ureChannel

I'm looking at a similar project with a different micro, any chance you could show a sample of the serial output of say an analogue output?
how is each message separated, with a \r \n or something?

Hello,


Here is some sample code. If you download a sample run from the website for an example run.

I've got an arduino in our race car that's communicating with the DL-1. I've written code to use it as a lap timer and a gps speedo. It displays to a 7-segment display. Let me know if you want the code.

Hi Justin,

yes, i would be interested, thank you!

Best of luck with the projects, if anybody gets stuck and wants pointers on our data format please email me, mhill at race-technology.com and I'll help out all I can.

Carsten,

I emailed you the code.

Hi Justin
I'm having not having much luck getting my micro to talk to the DL1, it's not an Arduino but your code might give me a hint to why its not working, any chance you could send me a copy? colinbyrne105(at)optusnet.com.au

cheers

Sure, sent.

Justin, would you mind sharing your code with me also, I was planning something similar and you may have offered me a big head start.
