A few people were interested in checking out the data from the traqmate, so I wrote this up and am gonna post it around:

10mb MOV file...yeah I know...I tried to compress the movie wiht other formats but I lost the quality...ah well, if oyu have itunes, you have quicktime :redflip

I had the chance to log some data during the novice practices this weekend, here's a screencast of some of the traqmate functionality! You can see me start off with one set of data, I proceed to add acell/braking g/forces and a segment analysis.. The sgment analsis is AWESOME. You can zoom in/out on the track map to view your position, helpful when you have more than one rrider on the list. When I am dragging the 90 degree me setting up a segment for the chute and straight as well as one for T3/T4. Who needs split times when you have segment times! :D

After I set up the segments, I proceed to remove a some data and add another sesson. I love how I can overlay data and compare specific laps against each other :D

Finally I turn on the "brake/zone" map, where I can see a visual representation of gas/brake. Some of it is off since it is relying on GPS data and I have yet to hook up the brake/TPS inputs!

I REALLY like the segment analysis because it'll brake down which lap you have the best entry/exit speeds, brake time, brake g forces, etc etc. I need to find a better mounting location for the sensor unit though, it's kinda zip tied right now :laughing

 

Pretty cool stuff. What's the whole package run?
