It's a USB to CAN communication port. It allows me to upload/download to the Dash / E888 / M800.

looking great guys.
hopefully when I finish mine it will look as good.
I mostly looking into complete aluminum dash though I am bending a piece of aluminum in place of my stock dash with autometer gauges mounted along with a EK cluster flush mounted to look like individual gauges. hopefully it turns out good.

I just watched the video and checked the link in your sig JR. Im WAY excited for this!!!! Ill be buying one this winter for sure!

I noticed ahobbs said that he couldnt datalog with this one... Is that just something with Hondata? Because it looks like on your site, you can, with NepTune, Crome, eCtune, etc? I have Demon RTP myself.

With the RTP you can have on board logging, the display, and the RTP software all going at the same time. With S300 you can't.

Looks good Tepid. I just wish they made better use of the screen space. They're so nice, but so wasted!

Nice setup Tepid. In that picture you can't even tell your car has a roll cage.

I think it's perfect. Any more and it gets confusing. lol
There are also multiple pages of data that it displays. A flick of a switch and the screen changes from different modes.... Warmup, practice and race are the pages I use. Each page displays whatever I want.

They look old school, but they are really bright LED's.... Yellow is a warning light and Red is to tell me to shut it down. I have specific parameters set for each light.
IE: if oil pressure is low -> yellow
if oil pressure is really low -> red

tepid1, that looks awesome. Can you control everything on the Motec through the CAN/USB port?

ahobbs, I like yours as well. I'm debating doing something similar.
