R E L A X, enjoy the TV show.

As Mike said, “”It is reality TV which is not real life.”

But seriously as an Indy 500 addict, I’m still pissed Turbo stared  a snail !

Tony,

If the external battery is there, use it. I feel the GPS works a touch better on 12VDC but even if there is no difference it’ll save you money buying 9VDC batterys by the multi pack.

Sent you a test from NCMP.

A friend of mine is running Race Studio and GPS Manager both on Windows 8. He hasn’t had any problems.

From the Race Studio manual

Compatibility between Race Studio 2 and operative systems
Race Studio 2 has been developed to guarantee the maximum working reliability and its correct working has been tested with the following operative systems: Microsoft Windows XP Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Widows 7.

All operative systems (Linux, Unix, Macintosh®) not indicated in this tutorial are to be considered not supported by this application.
For any problem it is suggested to check http://www.aim-sportline.com website to verify if any recent news has been issued and, if not, to contact the technical support that can be found in home page at http://www.aim-sportline.com.

I’m sure the Acer would work just fine.

Chris,

Check the Maximum RPM setting in the gauge.

[quote quote=19960]Bill, Can’t argue with the AIM SmartyCam. A great choice. But with some extra work, you could use a MyChron and a GoPro Camera. For software you’ll need RaceStudio and at least Race Render. If your pc is running less the Window7, Race Render will only be able to create a Windows version of the output. If you need to create versions of your video for a Mac, MPEG format, I used Media Conveter 8. The nice feature of Media Converter 8 is that it can create videos that can be played on any device, ie smart phones, iphones, tabelets, what ever. Race Render has a free trail version that’s good for making a short video. If you already have a MyChron and a GoPro, you could download the free version and play with it. What you are going to find is that it takes a bit of patience in syncing the video and the data. That something you wouldn’t have to worry about with the SmartyCam. Race Render allows you to use either one of their gauge templates or you can create your own. You’ll need a GPS receiver if you want the track map if your using Race Render with a GoPro. [/quote]

 

With the GoPro (or whatever camara)/RaceRender setup it takes a little patience to sync the data with the video, it takes a lot of patience waiting for the video file to be generated (rendered).  If your wanting to see the video later this setup works fine. If you want to be able to watch it as an event is going on, you need to get a SmartyCam.

Tucson and Phoenix maps are both in the GPS Manager library.

Emailed a couple of tests for Phoeinx to <span style=”background-color: #efefef; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px;”>bushdawgboy@gmail.com</span>

If you are talking about this, and you have it installed correctly,

http://www.cometkartsales.com/store/gauges/images/mychron/aim-speedcable.jpg

you need to enter to tire circumference and pulses per wheel rev into the gauge. You can do this thru Race Studio or in the setup screen on the Mychron 3 .

Here’s a link to the Mychron 3 plus/gold manual

Pages 33 and 34 show how to setup speed sensor on the gauge.
