One of the things I’m really hoping to do well is capture data from all the systems on my car. I have started by logging data from the Soliton Jr. controller. This is an example of what I can get from the controller.
I have to take the controller data, which is sampled at 100 Hz and downsample it to 1Hz to work with it in a spreadsheet if I want to look at a whole 15 minute drive.
I have a LinkPRO, a PakTrakr and an old Delorme Earthmate GPS. When I put the data from all of these together I should be able to do some really interesting stuff. For example, I should be able to use the PakTrakr data to identify any weak batteries by looking at which ones voltage drops the lowest under load. I should be able to use the GPS to come up with 0-60 times and quantify the effects of hilly terrain on my top speed and range.
