I am currently taking college classes in AcrGIS. This is basically a map making software, that can do all kinds of neat stuff. Anyways I need to do a project.

What I am trying to do is make an aerial view of a racetrack map that will show for any given lap, your vehicles speed, RPM, Oil Temp, Oil pressure, G-force, throttle position etc.

To do this, I am going to need raw GPS data, and data acquisition data.

Things I need to know:

1.) What kind of GPS/data acquistion unit you are using
2.) Are you (and your unit) capable of exporting raw data, and if so what is the format?
3.) Are you willing to share that data with me?

Things I will try to do:

Make some pretty maps that you can use to brag to your Homi3z about your race car. Hopefully, this will provide you with a new way of looking at your data.


Thanks

 

1. Very old Mychron 3.
2. Program claims to export to excel....Me maybe, not sure.....
3. Yes, no worries about sharing data info here.
4. OOPS........May not work for your project (no GPS, just "calculated" track map from accelerometer/g sensor.)
Sorry, Good Luck

 

The race sim rFactor has a data aqcuisition plugin and the data is viewable in Motec's i2 software. I don't know if this would interest you but it would definitely provide some flexibility.

Edit: I just noticed the GPS thing too, so, this might not do you any good.

 

Come out to Cal. Speedway next weekend. I will be there Friday and Sat.

I have RacePak and just installed another... Can't recall the name now... I am out of town.

I'm sure a few other guys can let you see what they are using.

 

I can probably come and hang out for a little bit on friday. are you getting a garage or just out in the paddock?

Does you car look like the one in the avatar

 

My car looks just like the avatar.... or just ask for the "Bunny Club" car among any of the Honda Challenge drivers...

I will have a garage. Usually we are all together. I don't know the garage number yet.

Will you have a laptop with software to pull the data off the unit at the track?

 

Yes. But its really my "first time" with all this. But I have downloaded the software to the laptop. I have all the cables and junk....

 

Friday is just a Test & Tune day right?

I will try to make it out to the track by 11:00am or so

 

Yep test and tune... But since its Cal. Speedway our testing time is restricted so we only get 4 sessions or something. Its like a normal track day with a club. We cannot just go on and off at will.

 

I will be there Saturday and sunday. But its hard getting any data out of me.

Are there any other HC guys that are going to be at Cal Speedway this Friday that might be willing to share some data?

Thanks
