Hi,

1) not at the moment, that is on the product feature list. No ETA

2) Yes; instructions are here: https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/RaceCapture-Track

3) Not currently. It is something we are exploring.

4) Yes, the dashboard view for Podium telemetry shows a list of laps and lap counts as part of the analysis capabilities. See the guide on using Podium here: https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/Podium_D ... a_Analysis

5) No ETA on when it will be available on Amazon. You can order from our worldwide dealers or directly: https://www.autosportlabs.com/shop/find-a-dealer/

Thank you,

2) No, not compatible with either

3) Yes, we are planning something similar for a future software release. No ETA.

4) Yes, just like any CAN bus enabled device can.

Thanks,

Regarding the OPs Question #2 Can RC Track be linked with Podium telemetry.

Can I get some clarification on that? Is it possible to send RC Track GPS and Accel/Gyro info to PodiumConnect?

Currently have MS3Pro CAN data connected to the PodiumConnect. Need to add GPS/Accel/Gyro data as well for lap timing, predictive lap time, etc.

Hi,

RaceCapture/Track is not designed to integrate with PodiumConnect. However, RaceCapture/Track can broadcast telemetry on it's own to Podium using the RaceCapture App running on an internet connected device (Android / iOS) https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/RaceCapt ... _Telemetry


PodiumConnect is designed to work with existing data systems such as the ones listed in the product page (AIM, MoTeC, AEM, RaceLogic VBOX). https://www.autosportlabs.com/product/p ... to-podium/

It gets all of it's data, including GPS and accelerometer data from the connected system.

The RaceCapture line of systems are fully stand alone data systems and include GPS and accelerometer data. you can learn about them here:
https://www.autosportlabs.com/racecapture_mk3_apex/

The RaceCapture/Pro MK3 with 3.5G cellular is the closest equivalent to PodiumConnect that includes GPS, accelerometers and also direct sensor inputs.


If you have PodiumConnect and want to add GPS and accelerometer data, you can integrate it with the AEM VDM to provide GPS and accelerometer data: http://aemelectronics.com/?q=articles/a ... -gyrometer

Hope this helps!

Going slightly off topic, so feel free to move.

If I purchase the AEM VDM, and connect it CAN2 of my PodiumConnect, while the MS3 is on CAN1 that should be all I need?
