New troublemaker for RaceCapture and Data Acquisition
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2018 1:09 am
Hi,
I wanted to take the time to introduce myself since I've already started posting pleas for help elsewhere on the forum.
First of all, I might as well own it, I'm another Honda guy. Worse I've yet to spend a single day on the track (as of 12/2018), though the goal is to fix that.
After an earlier project car was rear-ended on the road and totaled before I could get it to a track day, I've moved forward with an updated project, in a 2001 Acura Integra Type R that I've been slowly working on for the last year.

My ITR will be primarily a street-driven car, but as well prepared for track days as a (mostly) street legal car can be.
As a street-driven car, monitoring and warning systems will be very important to me beyond just data acquisition and analysis.
My recent purchase of a Jackson Racing Supercharger increases the importance of continual monitoring since it brings increased heat loads and likelihood of detonation.
I stumbled on the AutoSportLabs page a couple months ago while looking for a better way to support addition of a few analog sensors that I want to monitor. While it was a great resource on wiring up sensors directly to 5v inputs on my Hondata ECU, I became very interested in the RaceCapture devices as a way of pulling all my data plus GPS\Accel. into a single place with customized dashboard(s), gauges, warnings and also provide a means to output a trigger for a failsafe tune on my ecu.
I now have the RaceCapture\Pro MK3 and managed to setup the app on a Raspberry Pi (via the wiki instructions) today.
While my ITR is still a bare shell, I've started playing with trying to get basic OBDII info out of my daily driver (2010 Acura TSX). I figure it will help build some experience and a bit of an understanding of the functionality.
Thanks for all the help and resources that have gone into RaceCapture and this community!
See you around,
Alan
