Hm. The processor should be buffered by the CAN transceivers, so not sure what happened there - very odd. We will be happy to look at it and quickly turn it around - if it happens again we should trace the circumstances and steps exactly, if possible. If you'd like us to look at it, email sales@aut...

Hi, looks like the 3.3v rail is shorted. With the processor heating up, I wonder if something happened to it. Just before it happened, can you describe what kind of sensors and connections you had to RCP? This happened on the bench. I had 12V and GND connected to the screw terminals, and I connecte...

500mA load on the RJ45 won't affect the rest of the circuit. If you're game, try feeding 5v power directly to the 5v bus of RCP without powering it with 12v. Pretty sure you don't need to remove the FAN8303 for that. Could be the FAN8303, or the inductor. Thanks again, and if at any point you need ...

Thanks for the reply Brent. No this all happened on the test bench. Device was powered from a regulated power supply set to 13V. The only thing that changed was I powered an auxiliary device from the 12V pins on the CAN Ethernet connector. That device might draw 0.5A at most. Would this extra load o...

Correction, it is the IC U7 right bellow it that seems to be the issue. It is on FIRE. I'm pretty sure it's shorted. Could you please provide the part number so I can order a replacement and swap it out? It looks like it might be this guy? http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/...

RCP2 Hardware Issue -Power Cycles repeatedly, Cannot connect
Out of no where I'm having very strange issues with my RCP2. When I plug in 12V the LEDs come on for a split second then everything shuts off. This keeps cycling about once a second. I measured voltage at the imput and its 12.5V with it not connected to the RCP. When I connected it to the RCP it osc...

Nice, you beat me to it! :D I haven't even started on mine yet...long story but the car I'm putting all of this on has been a complete disaster, requiring all-new engine management and ignition systems before even breaking the new engine in. Sorry to hear. My car had an engine blow on me too puttin...

I built a DIY IR tire temps system using 12 MLX90614 sensors and an arduino to read the sensors and output the data to a Racecapture via the CAN bus. LUA scripting sure is nice. Video below is an early version of the project. I clocked it at 50Hz sample rate via CAN bus. I still need to do more test...

Miata Install and DIY sensor Breakout Box
I recently picked up a Racecapture Pro 2. And so far, I am very impressed. The LUA scripting feature sets this logger apart from anything else. I was able to write CAN bus code to sync data for a arduino based 12 sensor IR tire temp system in just a few hours. The software is pretty straight forward...
