Can someone give me the x/y/z settings thst work with solostorm? How are the axis mapped and are any inverted?

My rcpmk3 is mounted square in the chassis with the plug facing the front of the car as the install guide suggests.

I cant get them mapped so that solostorm gyro overlay displays properly.

Thanks!

Hi, please contact SoloStorm support for help on that product. They should be able to help you quickly. Thanks!

Thanks Bernt, will do. Do you have a diagram of for the MK3 of what axis are in relation to the box. I found one in the Mk2 setup but i could not find one for the Mk3.

Thanks!

Hi,

Here are the gyro definitions - they follow the conventional meaning of the word:

Yaw: car rotation (understeer / oversteer);
Pitch: front to rear axis rotation (braking pitch down / acceleration pitch up)
Roll: Rolling rotation side to side in corners.

If you have RaceCapture on the desk you can pick it up to simulate the effect.

Hope this helps!

For X, Y and Z axis labeling, the normal format I've seen is that the Z axis is roll and longitudinal acceleration, The X axis is pitch and lateral acceleration and the Y or vertical axis is yaw and vertical acceleration. When stationary, it's easy to determine the vertical axis, it will show 1g acceleration from gravity.

We conform to SAE standard definition, where Y is lateral acceleration, X is formward / backward and Z is vertical.

I would give odds that SoloStorm doesn't conform to SAE. The reason being that the accelerometer and gyro Z axis of smartphones and tablets is perpendicular to the face of the tablet. The Z axis becomes the longitudinal axis when the device camera is pointed in the direction of travel.

I might also give odds that SoloStorm doesn't use the gyro and accelerometer in the RCP. I know that Harry's Laptimer doesn't. It's a bandwidth issue.
