C127 with new V2 camera.
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:55 pm
I was browsing the website and noticed the new camera release, which included a statement that they will require a CAN transmit template that is included with the current release of the dash manager software, but I have the current release of the C127 manager now and it is not included.
Is there a new dash manager release coming soon that will include it? I wanted to have a look at what data was sent in the template.
That leads to another question, the version 1 release of the V2 manager software permits only auto recording mode, which will start recording on power on, and CAN based recording start/stop but that currently only permits speed and RPM as log start and stop conditions. Are there plans for the selectable start/stop channels to be expanded? and will any user configurability be likely? I was hoping to find a camera system which permitted user CAN configuration and to add a "Logging running" status in a CAN transmit message form the dash to start and stop cameras. A few of us do a few hillclimbs and it is handy to be able to set up a manual logging start function so that the logger can be pre started before launching the car, and even better if that can also be used to start recording.
I will have a spare PDM output and could configure a message from the dash to use as a condition in the PDM to power the camera on with the logger running message using the auto function in the V2 setup to start it but it is not a very elegant way to do it!
