I've been using Racechrono for years and think you are doing a great job with this software!
If i should put anything on the wishlist for now, it would be the oppertunity to use the unit as an programmable shift light together with racechrono.
How difficuilt to add such option:
"width of the track line (1, 2, 3, 4 pixels)"
on my PDA resolution is 640*480 but size of screen 2.6 inches so the lines are tiny(
I don't know if it discussed before but...I would like to see in the live timer, the difference of time lap on live.
Not only comparing a lap with each other, the best lap or last lap... I'm talking to compare time meter each meter.
So a good example is the F1 Wheel Displays

The video it is not too much good, but I don't find another. The left display indicates the speed, the center the gear, and the rigth display diference in time with the best lap.
You can see better on the www.formula1.com/videos (need to register first) click on Onboard andSpain (I recomended that because can see the display)
Napalm: So it would be real-time time comparison to the best lap? Not just at the split lines, but constant comparison? If you meant that, it's doable and it is something that I will do it for the completely new RaceChrono I'm planning to do.
I did a search, but didn't see a "predictive lap time" feature mentioned. I have a device that currently accomplishes this by providing the "time since you were last here." Meaning it continiously updates the time as you proceed around the track (approximately the same lat/long) and gives immediate feedback on performance because you can typically see tenths of second increase and decrease immeditately.
I've found this immensely helpful because you can analyze every corner/line while you are driving it. It's a simple concept that works with the only tricky part being setting thresholds deviations from the previous lap due to different lines, gps drift, etc.
I would be more than happy if you make RaceChrono to work in PPC 2002.
That donate button would get one click right away.
PPC 2003 version installs fine with "Program is not compatible with this operating system and may not run on this device.", but does not run on my Ipaq 3660.
First of all, thank you for this GREAT APP!
Wishlist.
I'd like to see a " local time" option (instead of only gps time) and the option for exporting interpolated data! Ideally I would want the interpolation to be selected from the user (24-25-30-60Hz to match commonly used video framerates!). I want all gauges to look smooth! Even digital speedo!
OK, I have been demoing this to a few people on a larger screen, and 3 out of the 5 of them have asked for a single touch "Start/Pause/Stop" button set on the live timer screen. Hitting back and then pause was viewed as too many steps.
I did a search for gyro corrections, and saw it in the original want list in the beginning.
Is that there?
If not, we've found some reasonable calculations that will smooth the gyro inputs (for those who have that) which will provide for a sensor angle (vehicle angle) so that one can use that to correct the acceleration data.
And since many of you are bikers, 3 axis accelerometers corrected for bike angle would be pretty important, right? For car- since lean angle is a lot less, you could use they gyro data to get both a degree of camber (corrected Z acceleration) and turning (corrected X acceleration).
aol- what would be best- post processing or "pre" processing? it appears that the gyro smoothing math is pretty well known.
Thanks.
