I thought I would share my first attempt at data overlay from Android apps "Trackmaster" and "Torque" using RaceChrono2AVI for the "gauges".

I asked my buddy John to assist me by letting me mount my phone and CANBUS reader to his GT500 during a lapping session.



Data is a little laggy due to the sampling rate (1hz) of the GPS, but could be improved easily. Getting the timing of the RPM and throttle data is difficult as I am having to cut and paste it in from another application.

Overall this needs some fine-tuning but not bad for less than $200 invested.

All you need is an Android phone for lap timing and positioning. If you want vehicle data like RPM, boost, throttle positioning etc you will need the CANBUS reader (mine is from www.obdkey.com).

 

Very cool. I might be doing this myself. Post more as you make them.

 

Will do...might be a month or so until I have another opportunity.

 

This section of TMS has been a little too quiet, so I decided to post my lastest AutoX video here. Using the Trackmaster app and RaceRender2. Still have to learn how to use Trackmaster a little better. Oh, and drive a little better, too!! Enjoy.

 

Oh man, you're right. This section has been too quiet.

There are a bunch more videos with data in the link in my signature.
