would this be quicker for both of us if we could do it over the phone? you have my number by PM earlier today

Hi Tim,

Thanks. We're actually making progress.

RaceCapture generates an internal log, and we need that log to see what it's doing when it's trying to initialize WiFi.

We have some instructions here to get the log. Could you go through the steps and copy/paste the log here as a reply?

Instructions: https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/RaceCapt ... apture_Log

Thank you,

OK. I'll get to you. I'm on it now.

quick question. if I take this out of the car and take only the red box, no wiring other than USB, will I be able to do all of this at my desk computer on the desk? I suspect I can, and that would be soooo much easier than with my laptop on the car.

Hi,

Yes indeed. Since you only need USB power, you can totally put it on your workbench to make testing easier.

However, you mentioned "red box". Which red box are you referring to?

the MK3

Can you post a picture of your system?

OK. I got the log. the MK3 wouldn't log into my desktop. Ill worry about that later.

I have to correct myself. It's a black box, not a red box. I've been working with too many boxes lately I guess. you ask about a picture of the system. I'm not sure I understand what you are pertaining to.

in looking at the system status for WiFi, it is now showing access Point is disabled again. I also noticed when carrying the MK3 to my office, that I hear a light clunking inside, like something is loose. Is that normal, or is this a concern? I figure it might have something to do with the accelerometor system, but not sure. In Wireless settings, both WiFi Module and Access point are still showing on.

Hi Tim,

I see a message in the log where it says it's not able to initialize WiFi. We probably would need to take a look at it. We will send you an email for follow up.

Thank for your patience working through this!

When I saw that in the log, that's what I suspected.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I have a RCP MK3. It has worked fine for the last few months, but I now cannot see it to connect on either wifi or bluetooth from any device.

I followed the advice on this thread. I updated the firmware to 2.14.0. In the app on my Mac I go to Setup -> Wireless and bluetooth and wireless are both on. I have turned on and off, read/write/power cycle etc. But when I go to System Status -> WiFi I see access point "Disabled". No combination of read/write/power cycle seems to change this.

I pulled the log, which looks like same issue the OP is having here.

I'm at the track (Sepang in Malaysia) and racing in about 18 hours from now, so quick fixes appreciated!!
