Re: Wooly Onboard computer project
Brown just arrived with the second part. This should keep me busy for a time. Notice the bottom of the GPS has a screw, I am considering mounting it in the nose if it can see through the track glass. The puck is also magnetic but that would not be a safe enough mount for track use.

Notice the attached photos this time

you paid a quarter for them?

I guess they have to make them so cheap cause most people would have no
clue what to do with them.

Re: Wooly Onboard computer project
OK I am debating on where to put the case (and GPS)

Case
#1 under the seat
Pros higher degree of protection from subframe, right by battery
Cons not a bunch of space and I put the cam in there now
#2 fairing nose
Pros more space, power from headlight circuit
Cons no metal protection in case of crash

GPS
#1 in nose
Not sure it can get adequate coverage through te fiberglass but it would be easy to drill the glass and mount it
#2 on the tail behind passeger sheep
Got to drill the ABS but should be OK. However there is a puck on top of the bike and it is exposed in a crash. Chin rest for passenger sheep
Both locations are easy as I have about 5' of cabling to work with.

Any opinions or ideas?

Re: Wooly Onboard computer project
It seems that location is going to be very important for the accelerometer. Even in a car, they are best mounted where the least amount of movement happens. Seems tough on a performance bike.

Good point. I was going to put it in the case with the computer. Considered mounting it on a foam or silicone to damp some vibration from the silky smooth RC engine It would be easier to fasten the case in the front...

Side tracked on the DVD I plan on ramping up this week when I am done with Christmas presents.
