Hi guys,

I already have Harry´s LapTimer and it seems I can use it to get the RCP Mk2 data (Time, speed and CAN data) and show them in a video. However, it seems I can´t use the acceleration data from RCP (Accel sensors). Actually it gets the accel data from the tablet/phone accel sensor (which I don´t like and it is the reason why I bought my RCP).

I saw a video in this forum where it was made using Race Render. Is it good and friendly enough? Any other suggestion?

Thanks again,

Felipe

Personally I find Race Render easy to use, enough so that I paid for the full software package. I can't say I've mastered it but it's worked alright so far. Here's a video where I added a lot of the RCP data to my video:

It's been years since I tried anything else and can't even remember the other software alternatives, but I remember trying a number of them and RR was the quickest at mapping the data.

I didn't do any videos last year due to a catastrophic failure with my car (tire blew up) so it's been a bit of time since I went through the RR process and I might be misremembering... but I think the one thing that makes RR easiest to use with RCP is to use the GEMS data conversion script I wrote (the thread for it is stickied on this forum) first, which gets the RCP data in arguably a more RR friendly format.

I THINK that's true... but maybe I'm wrong! I think after my next race in a month I'll write up a wiki page on how to easily use RR with RCP (I promised Brent I would do that last year but all my good video was corrupted when the car wiring harness was shredded by the tire and so I never went through the workflow again).

I'll second Race Render as the easiest way to add data to video. I'll be interested to see the draft wiki page in case there's something I'm doing differently.
