That would be silly: they wouldn't be able to charge us $2000 for Sport Chrono!

Seriously, I thought that the OBD data rate was too slow to provide useful information quick enough.

Actually, both super valid points..

Booya! Got my CAN stuff working with the help of the information here and more info from ShakeNBake. Thx!

I have the can clip on attached by the driver's side fuse box and it works; However, the cable that comes with it is then too short to reach the vbox mounted on the passenger fuse box cover. I can clip it on higher in the foot well, but I am having real trouble working upside down and getting the twisted can wires unwind enough here to slip in the clip on. Is there a trick to unwind the wires? I am afraid of breaking them if I am too rough...

Also,

How are you guys handling brake pressure in the scene? While throttle comes through as %, brake pressure is a raw measure in bar. I'd like to show it as a % in the scene similar to throttle position. One way is to just test by mashing the brake and see what pressure it gives me as a max and then use it to calculate % or just set it as the max of the range in the bar chart.

Just curious how others handle this one?

ShakeNBake

Mash it and get the max value, then you can create a simple math channel that scales that to %.

Got it going!

Threw a quick scene together just for getting by while ShakeNBake does all the hard word ;-)

vbox all up and running really well.

I have mapped the left/right steering maths wrong (shows left when pointing right!) and need to swap over.

In the meantime, here is a lap of legendary Spa Francorchamps from last weekend! A couple of GoPros added for additional views

Getting close to done with the VBOX scene. It's 98% accurate size wise, which is the problem, I need to scale it a bit in a cartoonish way. Gears not working properly yet....this lap had the wrong mapping to the brake...it's coming along.

I am selling my VBOX lite for half price if anybody is interested send me a PM.

Great system.

LaSource - great video at Spa - just wondering - your title says GT4 Clubsport, but it's a manual in the vid - is that a different option in the UK? I thought Clubsport was PDK only?

LaSource

Thanks.
Sorry, I just meant a road GT4 with the EU Clubsport spec (buckets seats, 6-point harnesses fixed to rear bulkhead, fire extinguisher, rear roll cage, cut outs for front roll cage)....I guess this option was not available state side.

ShakeNBake

It's worse, they didn't even leave in the anchor points so that US owners could install parts obtained from the EU....

myBailey07

...or have to cut the damn passenger seat to get belt installed....

myBailey07

It does look great though! You just need to size down the ring around the tach a bit...my 2c.

At first look I started your lap about midway and immediately thought: "WTF? Why is he left foot braking EVERYWHERE?!" before I realized your brake mapping must be wrong

ShakeNBake

Secret technique ;-)

Definitely thinking the same thing you are with the center dial size. I'm going to play with ratio of text size and dial area to keep the look of a GT4 dash, but it will no longer be to scale.

ShakeNBake

Ok some changes to the scene. Smaller dials, and truncated to removed wasted space.
