Has anyone notice that the RaceCapture reads the 200-300rpm higher than the stock gauge? I'm getting my signal off the back of the cluster. I also have firmware 1.1.13.

I've also noticed that the pulse per rev adjustment for RPM did not scale the reading accordingly.

I as well tapped into the RPM signal feeding the OEM tach in the gauge cluster of my E30, and I'm not getting a quality RPM reading. I've changed the 'pulses per minute' and it seems to do nothing. I've run back to back test with it at 1 and 10 at just to see if the RPM value drops by a factor of 10...

Initial Software Bugs

Just got my RCP a few days ago. Was playing around with it outside the car & found 2 potential bugs. First, playing around with mounting direction it appears that the 'invert' option in the mode column for adjusting the accelerometers does not do anything. Simple test back to back test only swit...

I have. Voltage out of the gauge is 10V. Gauge is fed battery voltage, so 12.5-13 volts.

I initial thought was to regulate the input voltage feeding the gauges. I haven't tested it yet, but any reason why the gauges wouldn't work if power them with 5V versus 12V?

Thanks,

Tech on Pull-up/pull-down resisters

I'd like to get a little bit more clarification about when these resistors are needed. What I am looking to do is to take my existing aftermarket gauges and connect them to RaceCapture for logging. I understand that pull-up/down resistors are meant to limit current draws to prevent shorts, but are t...
