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
