Unbox

Install SIM Card into Telemetry Module

Purchasing SIM Card

T-Mobile

Purchase a pre-paid SIM card from your local t-mobile dealer. We recommend picking a plan with the 2G/3G unlimited data, which is currently $3 USD / day of actual usage.

AT&T

AT&T is not currently supported; expect support soon in an upcoming firmware version.

Installing SIM card

open telemetry enclosure

Unscrew the end plate on the antenna side of the telemetry module:

unlatch simcard holder
insert SIM card

latch simcard holder in place

re-assemble case

Slide board back into enclosure. ensure LEDs are aligned with end plate and reattach end plate with screws.

Connect components

Telemetry Module

Plug cable in to connectivity expansion port (the port closest to the LEDs)

Connect GPS to RaceCapture

Connect GPS module to GPS port (port next to the telemetry port)

Connecting Antenna

Connect antenna to RF port
- Don't overtorque!

Create a RCLive account and register your device

Go to http://www.race-capture.com, click on Signup in the top navigation
Create your account
After creating your account you will be prompted to add your device. Do it :)
Once added you will be given a device id, save this, you'll need it soon.

Install RaceAnalyzer

Follow the software installations instructions here: http://www.autosportlabs.net/RaceCapturePro_SoftwareOperation

Configure RaceCapture/Pro

Set channel sample rates

The default sample rates are too high for real-time telemetry, set the following sensors to these recommended values:

GPS 1Hz -5Hz
Accelerometer 5Hz

Set device id

Add your device id that you wrote down when adding your device to race-capture.com to the Telemetry Device Id field under the Logging/Telemetry section:

Write configuration

Click the 'Write' button in RaceAnalyzer
Power cycle RCP (turn off then on again)

Testing

RaceCapture/Pro with GPS & telemetry needs more power than a regular USB port can supply. You'll either need to connect it to your car's power directly, via a cigarette power adapter with wires or a powered usb hub similar to these:

Press the black switch on the front of your RaceCapture/Pro device to start logging.

Watch LEDs on telemetry device explain / document LED flashing Got to race-capture.com/home, look for a new event, click on it

TaDa!

View your live telemetry! Race faster!
