Anyone here after cheap lap timing and dataloging?

[TCR]

Interested pending results of the testing.

will download and play tonight.... just cos.. :D sounds like a neat little toy...

My fave feature is the virtual best lap or whatever it's called. It takes all your laps for the session/day then takes the best sector times and adds them up to you a "best" lap. The one good lap if you had everything right.

I'm in if you can get me one by Friday the 12th of June (and they work!). Need it for a track day on the 13th. PM me once you know everything will be cool and I can paypal you the money.

Now onto the sales pitch. I have been looking locally for 5Hz GPS receivers and haven't really found anything under $120 + Postage. So I have sourced a batch from OS. I'm going to make these available to the PF crew for $89 delivered (Express Post). I'm targeting a regular sale price of $99.00 + Postage ($9.90)

Which one are you getting? Qstarz? They're pretty cheap on eBay at the moment. I've got a borrowed one for this weekend but something small, cheap, bluetooth and 5Hz is what I'm going to be shopping for for the bike for track days. Interested.

I'm looking at the GlobalTop range.


One because they 5Hz out the of box, so you don't need to fiddle with settings (as some may not want to do this)

They are a sealed unit. I have had other gps fall apart at the battery compartment at the track from all the bumps etc. It's no fun seeing gps bids flying across the cabin when you're attacking a corner.

The on/off button is capacitive touch, so no chance of it accidentially turn on or off.

If I'm happy with them I'll get a batch in (say 50 units) and see how they go.

The sample unit should be in Friday. So if you want you're quite welcome to that one if you're in a rush (once tested of course)

have played with this a little this morning- seems pretty good.

Do they make a 5 hz receiver with an external antenna- just wondering since I may want to use it in forests eventually?? and will need super powers powerness and stuff..

[Jim]

how do I get hold of other tracks?

*edit* never mind, sorted out

[MZ21]

UPDATE:

Looking really good. The unit is very slim with no battery compartment etc to come off at the track.

pic below:



To attach windscreen you either apply velcro to the back of the unit or just tape to the windscreen.

The unit paired with my Nokia E90 and I had Racechrono logging at 38400 baud (5Hz) operations out of the box (ie no tweaking required with third party tools).

I'm going to give it a run at my test track (industrial loop around my place on the weekend) but that just a formality. Looking really good.

So who wants one?

This unit doesn't but I managed to get an excellent fix with 7 satelittes (according to Racechrono) inside the house!

So I reckon you will be fine, just make sure it's up against the windscreen.

OK thread updated on first post with test logs and files.

[rowdytoot]

sounds good... log files look good too.. I've had a hilarious few days with race chrono.. apparently the D40 can run an 18.9 second quarter! :D

[St00ge]

Yeah I am keen for one

[Monza]

not for mumbleberry?
