Turn in points

[andy]

Ok

perhaps I am being stupid, but since the vbox is so accurate in its GPS fixes, couldn't you programme in on the circuit maps the turn in points, a bit like a 'virtual cone' that you get on track days.

you could display it on your oled. I dont mean full race speed indication but perhaps sighting laps when your unsure of the circuit?

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the suggestion. :thumbsup:

I will pose it to the development team in the next engineering meeting to determine its practicality and whether it would be possible.

I do personally have reservations :( , as ideal turn in points on a map would change dependant on vehicle being used, as the handling charactersitcs and steering ratios will be different from car to car .... not wildly, but significantly :confused:

Nevertheless, I'l see what the team think ;)

Thanks again :Drive:

This could be very beneficial for multiple drivers of the same vehicle... especially for night races and especially with audio and/or visual ques. Flash the OLED screen and/or generate a beep tone. Can we get an audio out jack, too?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the suggestion also.

I think such a thing would be most beneficial for driver experience days, when customers have a session or two driving a circuit they may have never seen before. :thumbsup:

However being a bit old fashioned though, I do think for the serious driving applications there is no substitute for learning the braking and turning points through repetition. :Drive:

I wouldnt want to be braking in to a corner knowing the driver behind me is looking for a visual aid before he prepares for the corner. !Scared!

As the OLED is purely a compact visual display I do not see it including an implemented audio out jack or buzzer, but this is always something we could raise in design meetings :D
