Nice, you beat me to it!

I haven't even started on mine yet...long story but the car I'm putting all of this on has been a complete disaster, requiring all-new engine management and ignition systems before even breaking the new engine in.

Maybe instead I should try running the Python files directly like this:

I used to run the Race Analyzer program in Wine, once I made a link from ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 to /dev/ttyACM0 it worked fine. The Race Capture app just shows "Could not detect RaceCapture/Pro" at the top of the window. It seems that V2 expects it to show up on COM10~COM25, so I made ano...

Just came to ask the same thing, seems that you can't set custom channel names in V2?

Not just for OBD2!

Nice, that could let my RCP communicate with the MS2x that's going in my car.

You might want to check out this thread on the idea of a tire pyrometer array:

Normally on a digital input, ungrounded is 1 and grounded is 0. I'd like a setting that would allow me to invert the input so that ungrounded is 0 and grounded is 1.

Of course it's not purely a firmware change since support would have to be added in RaceAnalyzer to configure it

I would say you should look at either multiplexing the inputs, or using a separate microcontroller to read the temperatures and pass them to the RCP through the expansion port.

A linear distance sensor on the rack would work fine, it's just that linear distance sensors are very expensive. I'd say the optical distance sensor is still the best way to do it, but I've had an idea to use a BMW suspension travel sensor (looks kind of like a big RC servo) attached to the rack...t...

Huh the price isn't too harsh on that, $450 for 3 sensors per tire...not cheap enough for me though

None yet...My car's gonna be done this month, I think I'll get started on this in December.

Hey, sorry that I missed your replies! Yes feel free to add this to the wiki.

Thanks, my electronics experience is mostly digital. My only experience with analog circuits is making power supplies for the digital circuits

Recalculated resistor values:

Oh yeah I have plans to get one of those with a combination brake proportioning valve...it's a big job though so that's for next year.

I'm interested, what resistance value did you use in the calculations?
