Had a track weekend and finally got to put TrackAddict and a few other loggers/apps to use. Tried a couple different setups and I keep coming back to TrackAddict- I really like how easy it is to use and how it just works- really no quirks or bugs. Usage was completely seamless- set everything up while staging, then it auto starts when you start to move-- perfect. I also have RaceRender Ultimate 3 and it of course works seamless and flawlessly with that-- saves a lot of hassle and time.
Just have a couple questions/thoughts on some features.
1.) I got some wonky decel g-force readings. Kind of all over the place, sometimes it even showed heavy braking as acceleration. I'm thinking this is probably related to my mounting solution and how stable or unstable it is? For TrackAddict logging, I used this mount, specific for my phone: http://www.amazon.com/LG-VS980-Navig...ds=lg+g2+mount . Here's a quick video - braking, right turn, left turn, braking: https://youtu.be/OfJg3SnHzyw?t=10s .
I have a really solid ProClip mount in my car, but the problem is it angles the phone towards the driver. As I read in the documentation (and I even tested it out to confirm), with that "yaw" present the G force readings are all out of whack. Are there any plans to add a feature to "calibrate" the accelerometer to account for this and then save that calibration? I think that would be a useful feature for me and maybe others- that way you don't have to worry about being stopped when starting recordings and ability to point the phone towards the driver for easier reading. I always have the mount/phone in the same place, so after this initial calibration I wouldn't have to ever worry about it again.
2.) I saw some discussion on the old forum about integrating some of the enhanced PIDs from HPT into TrackAddict? Any updates on this? I am running Android and my car is a 2003 Corvette Z06. I have an EFILive Autocal- but same principle-- I'd love to be able to log some of the enhanced parameters such as accel pedal position (rather than TPS), oil pressure, EGR valve volt
age (I have a wideband wired into this pin). I did a couple sessions logging OBD data separately with the AutoCal, but it does make syncing up the video/data more of a pain. I like keeping things as simple as possible.
3.) Late post edit: Just thought of something else- with a pre-CANBUS car, logging rate isn't nearly as quick. Logging 3 PIDs I get around 5-6hz which is pretty good, but it would be nice to be able to log other params such as coolant temp, IAT, oil temp, whatever at an intentionally slower rate. Maybe once a second or even less, so it won't have a big impact on your "primary" PIDs. Just a thought and figured I would throw it out there. I'm sure you have lots of ideas and it's just finding the time and resources to get it all done.
Thanks for the awesome free (on android anyways) app!
