MyLaps: prototype transponder gespot

[Roel]

MyLaps prototype transponder gespot (voormalig AMB-IT)

Saturday MyLaps tested some new Personal Transponders on the Mach Heemstede Indoor Track (where the EK Stock 2009 was held). Some drivers got the new Personal Transponder to test it that day. I’ve made some pic’s placed in my car. This is still a prototype. The Transponder will be released within two weeks.

Er zijn nog wat details vrijgegeven over de nieuwe transponder: www.mylaps.com

RC4 Transponder features:
- Half the size and half the weight of the RC2 Transponder
- Comes with a separate holder, so you can easily switch transponder between cars and boats
- Better quality cable (PTFE) that is racing fuel resistant
- Low voltage operability: 2.8-16 Volt compatible
- 1-4 cell LiPo compatible
- It will be your parent transponder and it comes with Car ID 0 (zero), the default Car ID. You can add child transponders, with Car ID 1, 2, 3, etc. (available soon)
- Any MYLAPS RC4 transponder can always be replaced by a new one that inherits the same Transponder ID and Car ID
- CE approved

Transponder benefits when used in combination with the new Mylaps RC4 Timing System:
- More data measured (temperature, voltage, Car ID, as listed in the communication protocol)
- Double hit rates detection, resulting in even more accurate results

The MyLaps RC4 platform is based upon an entirely new communication protocol for sending over data from your transponder to the timing system installed at the track. The current MyLaps RC3 (previously AMBrc) protocol only allows a transponder to send over your unique transponder ID. With the new RC4 protocol, a transponder is able to send over much more:
- Temperature: the ambient temperature of the transponder
- Voltage: the supply voltage of the transponder
- Car ID: the Car ID allows you to use multiple transponders that share the same unique Transponder ID, but are tagged with different Car IDs. More information will follow soon.
- We will continue to add more relevant data, which you can use for analysis and to improve your performance
