RaceCapture Introduction

Autosport Labs RaceCapture is a powerful Data Acquisition and Control system for motorsport applications, presented at a break-through price.

Beta testing in 2009!

If you are interested in participating in our beta test program, email us with your request, including a short note explaining how you might benefit from the system, and a bit on your relevant background and experience. This information will help us qualify you as a beta-tester. Previous 'good-citizen' beta-testers will get preferred placement.

Capabilities

Extreme flexibility comes with a powerful processor and a wealth of inputs and outputs.

20 available channels for logging and control

7 dedicated analog input channels
- Measure sensors or process input from other devices.

3 dedicated frequency input channels
- Measure RPM, wheel speed, or any kind of periodic pulse. One channel is optically isolated for direct connection to ignition coil.

4 configurable analog,digital or frequency output channels
- Control other systems or even override OEM sensors

3 configurable digital channels, settable for input or output
- Receive input from switches; or configure as output and use to activate accessories or drive indicator lamps

Input for precision 3 channel accelerometer module (+/- 2G per axis, 3G optional)
- Measure and log 3D G-Force in real-time with one of the industry's most accurate and precise accelerometers.

GPS module input
- Add an external GPS module for course mapping

Auxiliary serial expansion port
- Interface to future interactive dash/display

Logging

SD Memory card slot for data acquisition
- Store up to 2GB of logging data

Power

Powerful 48MHz 32 bit ARM processor
- Power to perform high resolution logging and running complex, user-defined logic

Mechanical

Compact, rugged design with good looks
Easy to use screw terminal block for wiring
On-board 'action' switch to start/stop logging (or other use)
On-board Status LEDs

The Intangibles

Flexibility

Unprecedented ability to customize logging and define behavior for user-outputs.

Customize logging channels and frequency
Control outputs based on the logic YOU define
Powerful PC software to customize, view and analyze data

Infinite Possibilities

Far more than a data-logging system; Inputs and outputs coupled with a powerful processor yield endless customization
Share configurations, tips and ideas with our online community
Open development process, frequent software updates and end-user customizable!
