F1GP2 - datalog of wheel spin doesn't work?

by Al Cargil » Mon, 22 Jul 1996 04:00:00

Hi

 Have been "fiddling" around for a couple of hours or so. Very
 impressed and just about able to get SVGA to work on my DX4/100
 (Display - kerbs, fences, verges, Mirror - track, 15 fps.)
        However, one problem/bug that I think I have found is that
the datlog analysis shows all my wheelspin data mapping directly on
top of the speed data (give or take a small amount). This is surely
wrong? The reason I wanted to see the wheelspin log is I managed to
do a spin turn so wanted to see what it looked like from the data
point of view!
        Anyone see the same thing or have I done something wrong?

I believe the wheelspin datalogger is actually a wheel-speed datalogger.
I too was fiddling with it to find out if I had understeer or oversteer.

It says in the manual that spikes to the bottom are lockups and spikes
to the top is wheelspin. Also you can see which direction a turn was
(ie. the left wheelspeed was higher than the right wheelspeed, the turn
was to the left).
