we're also seeing reports of 30+ degrees of body roll also... which seems a little extreme :lol:

Lateral G readings

I have an SCCA Solo F Modified car. It's very rigidly sprung and the two-stroke powerplant generates lots of vibration. We run on Hoosier Slicks, and everything we've seen says we pull 1.6 to 2.0 lateral G regularly (either from phone/tablet data or from Garmin Virb data). RCP is reporting 1.2 to 1....

RTC + filename

Does the RCP have a real time clock? Is there a way to change the name of the file to a date+time stamp?

code is working great - this is geared towards autocross, so it is set to start logging on the drive up to the start line, then stop logging when the engine is turned off after the run.

thanks for the help.

yeah - the signal must be changing as the RPMs pickup and drop. I'll see if I can find a scope, if not i'll have to keep testing other inputs off the engine to try to find something that will work. (attachment shows the data from the hall effect sensor on the jackshaft looking good, and the engine b...

well - that didn't work. It never started logging and when we manually started the logger, it never stopped.

double check script format

two quick questions - does this look correct: looking to start logging as soon as gps is showing +5mph and stop logging when engine RPM is showing less than 100 rpm (so engine off) function onTick() if getGpsSpeed() > 5 then startLogging() else if getT...

So I hooked the CoilX module to the kill switch wire on the snowmobile motor (which just grounds the ignition) and was able to generate a signal for RCP to pick up. It's a wasted spark system on a two stroke motor, and RCP was set up for 2 pulses per rotation. I'm recording RPM numbers that are 3 ti...

figured out the issue with the hall effect sensor - it was a DOA sensor, replaced and everything is happy there. still working on getting a working signal out of the CoilX. I've heard of other guys being able to pick up pulses on other systems using the kill switch wire because it grounds the igniti...

Also seeing no RPM (on two-stoke engine with 2p per rev)

I have a CoilX module hooked to the v- side of the coil. It's wired up to the RCP per the direction but i'm not seeing anything on the RPM input. I also have a Cherry hall effect sensor set to a toothed gear on a jackshaft - it also is showing 0 at it's rpm signal. It is wired with a 1k ohm pullup. ...

if possible - control of the garmin virb cameras would be awesome. the API is available here: https://developer.garmin.com/virb/overview/

garmin is a contingency sponsor of SCCA now, i expect to see more camera out in the field. I personally have an virb Ultra 30.
