I'll try to clean up the files and find somewhere to host them.Great infos eric, interesting thatĢ_ that you manage to sort out the footage with racerender (not sure I understood your struggle with the original data and active lap - i didn't yet touch race render) but coll for the scripts, you'll be asked for (very) few explanations maybe :-)ģ_ If you run only V4MP and gopro, how do you start the cam? wo trackaddict? manually? racerender sort the sync out later? so you need a gps go pro as well? There was no issue rendering the "active" laptime however.Īs for the scripts, those are very rough files that simply rewrite columns to the format expected by other apps, I started writing one to reformat the files for Ducati's DDA+ so I could compare the data between the RSV4 and my Speciale, but never got around to finishing it before getting injured and having to forego the use of my dominant hand for the past 7 weeks. It didn't render which lap I was on, and the "lap time" from previous laps correctly. The only problem I ran into (with the original data files), was that race render was confused about laps. RaceRender is actually built pretty well in that sense, you can import your own data files and it'll render GPS position, gear, speed, rpm, TC intervention and such. I do use GoPros on track, and I have used RaceRender to overlay telemetry to the footage, but I don't need to run track addict on the phone for that to work. Yes, I've had success using an external GPS receiver, hooked up to a spare iPhone 6 I had around the house that is now my dedicated track logger. After using the external GPS, every lap registered. Signal is weak, can't make a call, don't have access to data. No need to write an app that talks directly to the external antenna.Īs far as I'm concerned, I know I was missing every other laps with V4MP at both laguna and thunderhill before the external GPS. When an external GPS is connected to the device and recognized as such, the phone uses that instead of its own assisted GPS for any requests. If it was indeed using the external GPS (let's say 10Hz) you won't have any duplicatesTalking to friends of mine working at Apple, that is not what they advertise. One way of checking would be to see if you have multiple entries in the telemetry with the same GPS coordinates. Just asking as the way iOS works if an app is not programmed to access an external GPS, it will ask the default Location Services, and iOS will use the internal GPS.
Using the software does require some knowledge of video editing, its slightly more difficult than Adobe Premiere Elements but its not difficult.So you've used an external GPS + iPhone 6 + V4MP ?Īre you sure that the V4MP app was indeed using the external GPS ? A good suction cup mount is also needed of course (the Gopro brand one is extremely solid, go with that if you can). I used a Gopro based mount so I could use my Gopro mounts to mount the phone in the car.
Your Android device can record the video itself, but you will need a mount for it. But you can use any action camera or digital video camera you wish to record video. The Gopro I went with was the HERO5 Session which offers 4k video and a smaller size than the standard Gopro, but no removable battery. RaceRender 3 Video+Data by HP Tuners | Features To combine the video together, use RaceRender 3 Ultimate ($50): TrackAddict for iOS & Android by HP Tuners The app that you need is "Trackaddict" which is free in the Google Play store:
To get the data from your OBD-II, you need a bluetooth connector. To record the data, you need an Android device with Bluetooth and Wifi (I'm using a Galaxy S7) and also a video camera.
