I have to be honest I'm not sure how good it will be. I have a Nokia N95 and the navi on it is not so crash hot. it takes a little while to get a lock so I'm not sure how well it will fare doing something as precise as track timing.

seems good if you already have a compatible nokia, but if you have to go out and buy one, wouldn't you be better spending a little extra and getting a performance box? (drift box without drift angles)

we've just ordered nokia 6110 Navigator that runs this software....unfortunately no stock in the country for about 4 weeks....will give this a shot after that :rolleyes:

I hope you didn't purely buy a 6110 for this software Duncan, as at this stage they don't support the internal GPS receiver.

Its probably better anyway to have an external receiver mounted on the glass anyway. I reckon this wouldn't be a bad way to time in tarmac rallies for your own reference (better than a stop watch in your hand that you can easily bump, or forget about :action-smiley-069:

i tried this out at phillip island today. its seems to be pretty accurate. it was off by like 1/10 of a second.

Its cool you just turn it on, then once you pass the start line (in like 3 seconds or 3 hours etc..) it starts recording the times

duncan buy an external bluetooth gps. then you should be able to use the program. I use the 'holux m1000' bluetooth gps. its $70 or so including postage on ebay. You'll also be able to use tomtom and all the other programs which dont like nokias gps.

it will store it on the phone on the memory card. the software is also on the phone. the bluetooth gps adaptor just works out the gps info then sends it to the phone, its the the software/phones job to do all the calculations to work out the times based on the info.

if i bought an external gps box to hook up to the phone will it store the lap times? or will the phone?

you need to download 'nokia pc suite' i think its called. it comes with all the software to connect to phone and sync stuff and also the program with installs .sis files on your phone.

anyone got a .sis file extension software to open it with?

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
