Measured channels
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.
Values available for measurement
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
