Haha--bet that was messy. Must have been the math channel to deal with left foot braking that did you in. Maybe we need a dedicated "Data Logger Dork" sub-forum, with approrpiate warnings for *normal* people to stay away!

Great read. Thanks gentlemen for this DYI / KT session on the Solo DL. I just picked one up myself to hopefully improve my laps the next time at VIR (and elsewhere).

I did a three day stint this past November with NJ PCA club. I had a blast, and achieved my best time on the first day on my third session. I wasnt able to better my best over the next two days which really bummbed me out. I knew there was time out there but couldnt find no matter what I tried. And thus the Solo DL.

I'm looking forward to hooking her up and spending some time trying to find the 2-3 seconds that are left out there. I did get a change to test my Harry's Laptimer (iPhone 4S) against a Std Solo. Suprisingly accurate.

Did you guys manage to chew off a few more seconds this season using the data from the DL?

Who or which one is Alex?

Trying to really confirm 2 things.

1. I see a documentation for the OBD option for our ECU. Did OP opt for CAN because at the time there was no support (1st gen vs 2nd gen), or was it that even with OBD the number of sensors was too limited for any real data analysis?

2. Is there any reason why we can’t use the E8x/9x PnP harness? End of day it’s just a matter of tapping the CAN+ and - signals.


Image below shows complete list of sensors available for Z4 M (top - OBD, bottom - CAN)

I just bought the M-world one, it says e82/9x specific but they’re just regular connectors so I see no reason reason why it wouldn’t work. Will test out this weekend.
