MXL Pista - Race Capture MKIII

Post by wolfe83 »

I'm installing a used MXL Pista into my car. Last night, I got everything hooked up and running, but I didn't get any data to the race capture using the stock AIM mapping. Any advice on trouble shooting? This is an older unit (roughly 2011) so I'm wondering if there is some sort of cutoff point where Aim used different smartycam outputs or anything. This is all set up in Race Studio 2, which I hate, but I think I have the smartycam fields configured correctly. I'm only outputting 4 things - Oil Temp and PSI, Fuel PSI, and Coolant Temp.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, You likely need to enable the SmartyCam output in the AIM settings. See the guide here:

Let us know if that works for you!

Thanks! This guide is well done. The issue ended up being the baud rate. I forgot to check that when I set it up, and the CAN mapping for the AIM devices doesn't change it automatically. Works well now.
