Need some help with Harry's Lap Timer

ltullos · 08-29-2015, 09:45 PM

Is anyone running HLT with OBD MX Bluetooth, external GPS (XGPS160), and GoPro on Android version? I'm having trouble getting the OBD and Multicam connected (Available) with my Nexus-7. I'm thinking about trying the iPhone version to see if it works better, but have read that the XGPS160 may not connect because it's not certified with iOS. I have a couple of more weeks to get this sorted out before my next session at MSR Cresson and want to be able to concentrate on driving rather than this connectivity BS.

To that point, if you have any tips for using HLT & GoPro at track to make sure it's capturing properly w/o being distracting, I'd appreciate that as well.

I use a XGPS160 and it does work well with HLT and iPhone. I use PLX Kiwi 2 for OBD data. Also if the event you are referring to is The Driver's Edge Sept 12-13 I'll be instructing there (#43 370z) so swing by and say hi.

I use Laptimer on iOS with the XGPS160, GoPro Hero 4, and Automatic OBD and they all work great together. Occasionally I need to reboot the phone to get the Automatic to connect, but that's not common. You can see a lap video I shot with this setup in the Buttonwillow thread.
