A racing logger for an ND2 Mazda MX-5, integrating wide ranging functionality into one unit:
- Reading analog sensors (oil pressure and temperature, rotor temperature) - Reading CANBUS data (coolant and intake temperature, RPM, etc.) - Displaying data in a clear and aesthetically pleasing way - Making data available via Bluetooth as RaceChrono DIY BLE device
The system has two main components, the display unit and the sensor unit. The communication between the two is executed through I2C protocol (1.2m cable is pushing it though. With careful cable prep I still get ~0.5% error rate on…
