==Open Source Data Acquisition and Control==
'''Autosport Labs is excited to announce our latest project: RaceCapture/Pro - a powerful, multi-channel data acquisition and control system for motorsport applications'''
==Impact==
RaceCapture/Pro transcends most traditional "Data Logging" systems by virtue of its powerful processor, an emphasis on outputs as well as inputs, and on-board Lua scripting that lets you define custom behaviors. The ability to perform data acquisition while controlling other devices and systems, coupled with flexible end-user customization offers an unprecedented level of capability.

==Significance==
While the primary application of RaceCapture/Pro is focused towards race car data acquisition, its powerful processor combined with a wealth of inputs and outputs also makes RaceCapture/Pro a general purpose automotive computer, one capable of handling many different tasks - limited only by your imagination. If the question is "Can RaceCapture do ...?" the answer will likely be 'Yes' and often with little to no external hardware support necessary.

==Flexibility==

===On-board scripting===
We embedded the [http://www.lua.org Lua] scripting language right on board RaceCapture/Pro; with Lua you can control RaceCapture's behavior at run-time, no firmware programming required.

Some Examples:
** Activate a warning light when an input threshold is exceeded, such as temperature or pressure, or a combination of both
** Log data at a higher rate when in range of a particular GPS coordinate, or when some other condition is met
** Auto-start/stop logging based on speed, RPM, or any other condition
** Experiment with active aerodynamics by adjusting a wing based on GPS velocity
** Define logic to control an intercooler sprayer
** Intercept and remap an OEM sensor
** Activate Smoke screens against your competitors :)

===Software Connectivity===
RaceCapture/Pro will feature software to:
* Customize logging channels
* View Runtime Data
* Edit custom scripting
* Perform data analysis and replay

===Infinite Possibilities===
* Far more than a data-logging system: flexible Inputs and Outputs coupled with a powerful processor offers endless customization
* Share configurations, tips and ideas with our online community
* '''Fully Open Source System - Open Standards, Open File format''' Frequent software updates and end-user customizable!
* [https://github.com/autosportlabs Source code]

==Technical Specifications==

<font size="3">Extreme flexibility comes with a powerful processor and a wealth of inputs and outputs. </font>

===Input and Output Channels===
RaceCapture offers 25 input and output channels, enough to handle complex logging and control tasks.

* '''7 dedicated 0-5v analog input channels'''
** Measure sensors or process input from other devices.

* '''3 dedicated 0-5v frequency input channels'''
** Measure RPM, wheel speed, or any kind of periodic pulse.

* '''4 configurable 0-5v analog or frequency output (PWM) channels'''
** Control other systems or even override OEM sensors

* '''3 configurable digital channels, settable for input or output'''
** Receive input from switches or digital signals; or configure as output and use to activate accessories or drive indicator lamps with on-board 1A self-protected mosfets

* '''4 Axis Accelerometer: 3 channel accelerometer module plus Z-axis gyro (+/- 2G per axis, 3G optional)'''
** Measure and log 3D G-force in real-time with one of the industry's most accurate accelerometers.
** Z-axis gyroscope measures yaw/drift in real-time.

* '''10Hz GPS module input'''
** Add an external GPS module for course mapping
*** Plot location, speed and time. Onboard detection of start/finish line for automatic lap count and lap time

* '''Auxiliary Serial Port'''
** Interface to real time telemetry, bluetooth adapter, dashboard display or other interface

* '''Digital expansion port'''
** A high speed port provides the ability to add CAN bus expansion, more analog or digital channels, integrate specialty sensor hardware such as thermocouple amplifiers, and so on

===Logging===
* '''SD Memory card slot for data acquisition'''
** Store up to 32GB of logging data

===CPU===
* '''48MHz 32 bit ARM processor'''
** Enough juice to perform high resolution logging and running complex, user-defined logic

===Input/Output Protection===
* '''40v protection''' on all input pins
* Analog outputs protected by '''auto-resettable fuses'''
* Digital outputs are rated at '''1A with self-protected mosfets'''
* '''Over-current protection''' on 5V reference
* '''2A''' internal switching power supply

===Mechanical===
* '''Compact, rugged design '''
** Unit measures approximately 4 x 3 inches (100 x 82 mm)
** Weighs 8.4oz
** Real-Time module weighs 7oz
* Easy to use screw terminal block for wiring
* On-board 'action' switch to start/stop logging (or other use)
* On-board Status LEDs

===Power===
* 9-17v power
* < 100mA for RaceCapture/Pro.
* May burst to 2A temporarily when using RealTime Telemetry module
