Multiple CAN bus clients ok?
My 2016 GT4 Clubsport has a Motec C125 dash logger and also a AIM SmartyCam HD connected to the Manthey CAN module.
I am planning to remove the SmartyCam and add a VBOX HD Lite (for 1080p video and post session analysis) and a Solo2 DL (for real time predictive lap analysis), both connected to the CAN bus.
This would mean there are now three devices connected to consume CAN data. Is this ok for a technical perspective? I’m assuming that since I have two devices currently, removing one and adding two shouldn’t be an issue as long as all are clients and not transmitting data but I wanted to confirm with the folks here
The reason I’m not using the Motec for predictive analysis is that it’s not positioned where I can quickly glance at the display. I prefer the AIM attached at eye level to the roll cage just left of the steering wheel.
Thanks.

There is no problem connecting multiple AiM devices provided the termination resistors are correct. Let me know if I can help with the S2DL.
