The hardware was solid and never skipped a beat. The display worked well and the shift light was particularly useful. I was also able to use the exported data to create track videos using <a href=\"http:\/\/racerender.com\/Products\/index.html\">RaceRender<\/a> such as seen here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Palmer Motorsports Park w\/ COMSCC (datalogger, RaceRender test)\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FWEgEoME3fw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, I sort of hit a wall once the data was collected. I was able to make GPS plots and certain calculations in Excel, but besides screening for low oil pressures and high temps, it left a lot to be desired. A huge part of data analysis is using it to learn where and why you were fast or slow on a given lap. This requires much more advanced displaying and calculation of data to make it easier to pickup the clues and to develop as a driver. The problem is that all of the professional analysis software is locked to their proprietary data formats so there&#8217;s no way to use my data with their software.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This led me to eventually abandon my home-brew solution and look into the RaceCapture system from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autosportlabs.com\">Autosport Labs<\/a>. It&#8217;s a highly customizable, open source solution, that includes solid hardware PLUS pretty decent software. Their platform is growing fast and very receptive to community feedback so what&#8217;s not to like? I&#8217;ll make a another post with my latest data logging setup.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I used the dashboard through the rest of 2015 and 2016 and it worked great.
