Yeah it was a fun day
I scrapped that data/video from the first run, since it was kinda short and half of it was following the tow vehicle around
I kept the data/vid from aLapRecorder HD on my last run of the day, and I'm processing it in RaceRender 2 now. The only windows machine I have on hand here is tiny little Dell Mini 1018 netbook that I use for UpRev. Says it's going to take ~5 hrs to encode the 13 minute output video in high def
Anyways, maybe later this evening or tomorrow I'll finally have something encoded and youtube'd and we'll see how this cheap-*** data logging solution worked out.
Cost breakdown on the data logging setup:
Existing Android Phone (T-Mobile/LG G2X, has 2x 1Ghz CPU + high def camera): free
Existing cheapo windows laptop (Dell Mini 1018): free
Qstarz QT-818XT bluetooth 5hz DGPS: $70
PLX Kiwi bluetooth OBD-II: $90
aLapRecorder HD (Android App): $6.50
RaceRender 2 Deluxe (Windows App): $25
So we're looking at just shy of $200. If it works even half as well as a "real" racing data logger solution and is useful to learn from, it's a steal
