That's still GBP 150,- There's also this: 1600psi pressure sensor on e-bay This should be the best option, since the pressure range is what you'd want for brake pressure and at $35,- inclu handling is hard to beat. Oh, and as for installation: Google search for 1/8 NPT brake line adapter . This shou...

I was actually thinking about using the GPS heading for that. A bit blunt, but testing should reveal just how correlated the two are.

I've been pondering this for some time now. Here's what I thought of: Single-axis analog gyroscope for $8.54 from e-bay , which I'll probably stick somewhere on the steering wheel. If that fails, I'll ducttape/tie-rib it to the steering shaft. Logic dictates (my logic at least, which could mean I am...

Got it to work on my ancient laptop (which is why it took so long before submitting an update). So I am saved!!!

Found some more required reading on when Windows gets USB and HID mixed up.

Will get back as soon as I have found a fix!

For now: thank you again for your assistance!!!

Right, it seems Windows has ID'd the RCP in 3 Led mode as the Autosport Labs Bootloader, but for reasons unknown seems insistent on referring to it as a HID device, rather than a USB device. I have a Windows XP laptop, so I'll give that a try to, but that will be tomorrow. For now I want to express ...

Found "three led"setting under "Human Interface Devices".

Every time I connect in 3 led mode an additional HID device appears.
Every time I connect in 1 led mode RCP is recognized as a USB device.

Right, I've found the USB Device location and ran a "1 led" and "3 led" test.

See attachments.

Other than that, I am still clueless. Could de-installing and cleaning out the registry (regedit) help?

Thanks for all help so far ...

No AutosportLabs" bootloader under the "libusb" branch of Device Manager visible (yet).

Am going through all driver properties manually.

Did as instructed:

After install, shutdown, boot and reconnect with button pressed, 3 leds on, but no visible usb connection.
Disconnect en reconnect without button pushed: 1 led comes on and COM10 shows up in Device Manager.

What can I try next?

It's not working ...

When I have 1 led Windows Device Manager shows COM10 and when connected under 3 green leds nothing.

I tried v1 and v2 and to no avail.

What do I do next?

Help: about to do a hard reset

Hello all, I am about to do the one thing I wasn't really looking forward to and that is a hard reset of my RCP. After trying to access my RCP through Race Analyser and USB (which at first went without a hitch), I kept getting Unknown Error messages whenever I tried to get the two together (Read/Wri...

Have any of you considered a 12v led ? I've hooked one up to the brakelight and RCP (with a resistor). Led is visible to the GoPro. Syncing data and video is sooo easy after that. I personally use Dashware, but there are a few out there ... Example >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUgER92mtM4
