Collector Mini allows to measure variety of channels for performance analysis, but many of the measured values provides possiblities to calculate more relevant values for analysis. This page opens a little bit what items are possible to measure and some exaples what values can be calculated from the measured data.
| Item | Notes |
|---|
| Lap times |
|
| Split times |
|
| Throttle and brake signal | Can be any signal from the receiver |
| Steering signal | Can be any signal from the receiver |
| Electric motor RPM |
|
| Drivetrain RPM/speed | Measure speed (or motor RPM) with a speed sensor |
| Diff outdrive speed | Measure speed from both sides of diff outdrive |
| Longitudal acceleration |
|
| Lateral accelaration |
|
| Vertical acceleration | Use to measure air time |
| Yaw rate |
|
| Pitch rate |
|
| Roll rate |
|
| Temperature | Follow for example motor temperature |
Calculation possibilities from measured data
| Item | Notes |
|---|
| Throttle rate | See how fast input changes the driver is making by calculating throttle speed from throttle position. |
| Steeting rate | See how fast input changes the driver is making by calculating steering speed from steering position. |
| Acceleration vector | Evaluate how maximum grip is used in cornerning, braking and accelarating |
| Distance | Measure driven distance from speed measurement |
| Differential slip | Calculate speed difference between diff outdrives |
| Slipper operation | Calculate slipper operation with help of motor RPM and rear wheel speeds |
| Understeering/oversteering | This can be calculated for example by calculating how much steering is used during a lap or by with help of Lateral accelaration and yaw rate. |
| Track map | Draw a trackmap from distance and lateral acceleration. |
Debugging values
