QueenRacing Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I would like to be able to somehow be able to log a GPS speed into the logging on a v44. I cant use a dash as these will be used in turbocharged stand up jet skis. I would like to be able to plot speed over time to check acceleration and gather data during testing. Is there any small external gps units that can be wired into the v44 and do this with?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vnm02 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 See if this might do the job for you, not sure how it interfaces with the vipec. We use them on Honda jetskis and wire to the dash. http://www.jegs.com/i/Auto+Meter/105/5289/10002/-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenRacing Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 That is perfect if it will work. Simon can you please help me out with this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 There is a very good chance this could be be used to trigger a Di to generate a speed input. If it can drive a factory dash it will be able to drive our ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenRacing Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks! Its on order and I will share the results with everyone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I would be interested in the end results, thanks for offering to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vnm02 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hope this works with the vipec, if so I will add it to my ecu kits as a option. Keep us updated thanks Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekonna Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 i'm not completely sold on the "lightning fast" 10hz refresh rate this thing boasts .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelB Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I am interested in this as well. i'm not completely sold on the "lightning fast" 10hz refresh rate this thing boasts .. Would you care to explain ? I mean its just one parameter I would think that rate would be sufficient , but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think updating 10 times a second will be ok for most applications the exception might be a very fast drag application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelB Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Any more on this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenRacing Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have recieved the unit, if this works it is going to be SWEET!! It is very small and easy to wire in, only 3 wires.. I am hoping that Simon can help with this, The module has a output calibration of 16,000 PPM, which is the same as the autometer speedometers. But under the Di input/speed I dont think the calibration goes this high.. Unless it would be 16 or 160 etc. So if this calibration of 16,000 will work with the software, this will be a killer add on to the system and it is cheap!! Any input will be greatly appreciated..

Simon Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 So its doing 16000 pulses per meter? That is a lot. Can it be scaled back? We are would be looking for more like 15-30 per meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Niemi Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Might be 16000 pulses per mile. Also, it is possible to calibrate it, see the instructions: http://www.autometer.com/productPDF/GPS%20Interface%20Instructions.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenRacing Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes I have confirmed it is 16000 puls per mile. So converting that it is 9.94 and the di table makes it a even 10. So does this sound right Simon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 From that I would expect a cal number of 100 would be close to correct speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenRacing Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I cant get it working properly. I am getting speeds of 6600 etc. not even close.. unless it is actually 16000 ppm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 All you can try is higher cal numbers but suspect its going to be putting out too higher frequency. How do they allow it to work on factory speedos? Can its output be calibrated in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillM Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm curious, how is this setup and configured? Is the output of the GPS connected to a digital input? Is that input set to "Frequency"? If so, have you tried a calibration which would multiply the frequency by 0.225? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vnm02 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 How did this go, did you get it working correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenRacing Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I have not finished testing this, sorry I have not had much time. Crazy here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenRacing Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I would think that the engineers from VI-PEC would be jumping on this and be able to tell us a proper setting on how to use this!! Simon, what do you say???? Help sould be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 We can only take up to a around 500Hz on a digital input due to hardware limits. If the frequency out put of the device is more that this there is no solution we can offer out of the ECU. If however this unit is geared to be able to drive factory speedos then I would think it could be calibrated to suit the different speedos it should then be able to be matched to our ECU.
