Ive got the Harry's Laptimer GP App on my iPhone 7 and its great, now id like to add a ELM327 Diagnostic sensor to add engine data to the video and track data.
Questions:
1 - Harry's Laptimer site recommends the GoPoint BT1 but it states its for a car, will it work with our bike?
2 - The GoPoint's are old tech and costly at $120, they make way faster and way cheaper official ELM327's like the Vgate iCar2 at $15. Is anyone running a new ELM327 off our bike with Harry's Laptimer?
3 - Where is the diagnostic port on the 2008?, its not listed in the index of the service manual? Ive just completely rebuilt my bike after taking the engine out but I don't recall that port?
BTW, Ive bought a new HM Dash with GPS Laptimer this winter but I haven't tried it yet. But I like the way Harry's :a-timer connects to the GoPro and puts the track data over the video like in the pic bellow. But I want to add engine data like the cars have.
Um not sure if you know this but there is no standard canbus system for motorcycles so the OBDII standard does not exist on any bike. You have to buy a dedicated telemetry system for motorcycles depending on the brand of bike you have. The systems on bikes are way old school like OBDI old school.
Hi d1sturb3d119 - Ive just rebuilt my bike in similar colours to yours but with racing fairing customisation/colours. Spent about $12K upgrading it from a bike that had Ohlins etc already, just need to finish my custom thumb brake and I plan on entering it in the BOTM. After taking my bike for 5 days winter testing in Spain I saw all the trouble with the computer controlled bikes and decided to stay well clear, I get depressed if I blow a seal or the battery died on route, can you imagine being spat off because you did not program the bike properly and that happened to a new ZX10R & a RSV4 set on fire after throwing the guy off at the end of the straight cos the tyre wasn't calibrated. 20th anniversary HRC track colours are my fav.
I did not know about the "no standard canbus" I just wanted to get the REV's on the track video. Id be prepared to frankenstein connections if someone could tell me how to get the data transmitted to the App. Hopefully someone knows if its possible cos its a cool App.
Apiblades - $27 and a Gopro Hero 3 or 4 and your off. Doesn't get better than that IMO
^If you want to see how Harry's App works with the GoPro 'ie Setup' then check out Harry's website or to see track video's check youtube and scroll down to one with a motorbike.
Im sorry I don't publicly post video's after I lost a UK court case just because they found my online presence which was what I would say made me look like 'an average rider', no admitting speeding or stunting. But this made me look like a 2 wheel serial killer in the eyes of the court and in comparison to the poor sweet girl who pulled out without looking and knocked me off. Go figure!.
If you wish to pm me I can send you a private link to one lap, but I was running a fake GoPro and it wasn't compatible, plus I'm no Casey Stonner LOL
I know that there are telemetry and data logging options out there that utilize data from the ecu but it needs to be bought as an aftermarket solution. I've tried looking for stuff but it's pretty expensive from what I've seen. The dashboard has to be replaced for the data logging to work.
Magnetti Marelli data logging dash is $20K which is just silly money for us mere mortals.
Im going to give up on the idea as it seems like a major task just to get the RPM's on the video. From watching other riders video's they get around this by mounting the GoPro on the tank so it can see the dash. I prefer to mount the camera on the tail so I can critique the progression of my riding style, basically check how far off the grip my helmet is
It may be possible if you have any experience with Raspberry pi. I'll have to do more research on it. I have been very interested in some kind of simple data logging system. I know someone built their own quickshifter using Raspberry pi
Now from what I do know about fuel tuners Bazzaz and Power Commander both have GUI's that are user friendly and allow tuners to see how much throttle is being applied, view the fuel map, what gear you're in and speed. It runs off a micro USB to USB connection. Considering raspberry pi is a mini computer in essence it would be possible to setup a logger that allows you to collect all that information in a Sql or excel spreadsheet. Then all you need is a software that covert's that info into an overlay for your video.
^ Well I must say you have gone way and above on your research. Ive been meaning to get into Raspberry Pi for a while as I make my own tech sometimes but learning electronic diodes and resistors etc is a nightmare to me so I've stuck with buying 12v motors, sensor and remotes which so far have all stood up to the test of time and durability. I was meaning to look into switches to limit linear motion & automate next.
As for as data logging goes that GPX kit looks Great and a very reasonable price for something so adaptable. I feel I'm letting you down when I say I don't think I should go in this direction, its kind of a big investment in time/learning & some cost. I like building my own parts very much and id rather buy a new mill. Plus I've been accused of messing around with bikes more than track riding LOL, which is true, so this year I'm getting on track more.
Thanks for the info though mate, very cool stuff.
On the topic of sensors and looking at the GPX linear sensor, last night I had the idea of making a wheely sensor that would apply the rear brake (which I could do with my custom thumb brake) if I could make a linear motor that worked quicker than an motor linear actuator and with more progressive power than a magnetic solenoid. But thats a big ask for someone who doesn't make linear pressure devices.
I figure anti wheely device that apply's the rear break would make the bike accelerate faster than the electric power limiting alternative. I wanted to buy the SP Unit one but id need to get rid of my cool HM quick shifter.
Arduino is where the resistors and diodes come into play. That allows you to build on the more minute level. Raspberry pi is a fully running mini computer. So think cheap tablet with a running OS. Once you unplug the screen but keep it powered it could in essence run as a data logger.
Lol don't worry about me. It's just nice to know there are some slightly more affordable options out there.
I was looking at the SP unit but I've looked at the Woolich unit instead since it has more adjust-ability when controlling the cut off times. Check that out too.
^ Ha your exactly right, I tried to learn Auduino first and got bored with all the circuit board stuff. I wrongly assumed the Raspberry was the same, now I know its more computer based I recon ill look into learning from video tutorials. Do you suggest any?
The guy who was spat off the RSV4 that burst into flames got a race prep ZX10R and that had the pit lane limiter & launch control like that SP. He used the pit lane limiter at the track for fun and it sounded great, everyone wanted one for rolling onto the pub car parks LOL.
That Woolich racing stuff looks even better than your last find, I do have most of those mods they list on the 'disable' section from my previous mods which probably add up to 3x what they charge for that one kit and its add ons, also now I'm used to stripping my bike down to its component parts I wouldn't be put off by the idea of a harness change. Thats certainly something to think about, especially as I could visit them to get the bike dyno'ed and setup anything I had trouble with.
Personally id do the harness just to have the freedom from Big Honda.
