Grabbing GPS time for Raspberry Pi Dash?

Post by eacmen »

I built the raspberry pi dash from the wiki with a few mods of my own to mount it inside the E46. However, I will not have internet connected to the Pi (yet). Is there a way the Racecapture software can grab GPS time from the RCP to set it on the Pi?

Hi, interesting idea. So the app is not coded to do that at the moment- it's not specifically aware of the system it's running on.

I was looking to implement it myself but I did not see any build scripts for the raspberry pi variant on the github site. How are you guys building this at the moment?

There's a build script for Linux under the install directory:

build_linux_release.sh

We actually do the build on a rpi, to pull in all the correct platform libraries.

You're welcome to take a crack at it and submitting a PR. I've created an issue to track the feature request:
