Hi all, i'm Alessio from Italy and i'm a fairly new user of RaceChrono.
As the title suggests, i would like to ask if the complete device support to the app is confirmed and if anyone had already the opportunity to test that.
I will retrive data via bluetooth from both an ELM327 (rpm, speed, throttle position) and the racebox mini (gps, gyro, accelerometer), is it possible or the app can only have one BT communication at a time?
I just used Racechrono v7.5.2 and racebox mini. they paired nicely and logged data on demand. however, i am seeing a lot of "noise" in the lateral g data. any thoughts?
@hasole RaceChrono uses the GPS only at the moment. Future versions of RC will have functionality that uses the IMU, at least on the phone, maybe also the RaceBox's.
@hasole I'm in a similar situation at the moment. It seems just using your phone and RaceChrono Pro is better than buying the RaceBox Mini and linking it.
I bought the RaceBox Mini for the additional data from the IMU, but their own app doesn't work and RaceChrono Pro doesn't currently pull that data as @aol_of_RaceChrono has mentioned.
@Username1 Just to clarify things, RaceChrono does pull and save the IMU data currently, but it just doesn't process it. The IMU data comes from the RaceBox Mini unprocessed and the apps should do that. That's what we are working on now.
For me the RaceBox Mini is easily worth the money just for much better GPS than on any phone, but I can understand your disappointment as they might have overpromised on the IMU stuff.
Both can be recorded, but in v8.0 only one set of IMU data will be processed. On my development version the internal IMU data is used, if both IMU data exists.

That said, I'm haven't yet been able to confirm if the IMU data from the RaceBox Mini is any good for further processing, but we'll see that soon.
Just got my mini too. Works well with RC at 25Hz. Thanks for the rapid support!
