Re: XGPS160 issues

I have had endless connectivity issues with the XGP160 and HLT/Bluetooth generally for a couple of years. Also, the XGPS sometimes won't even lock onto satellites, let alone connect with BT. This is usually after a morning at the track. Though it was a heat issue? After much frustration I concluded ...

Re: Circuit Tools showing double lap times for VBO import

I dug deeper into this. I exported each of 15 laps from a session giving me the above trouble individually and opened each. Turns out several of the individual laps prompt a data update frequency dialog and indicate double lap times. I then looked through each of the failing lap files for irregulari...

Re: Circuit Tools showing double lap times for VBO import

Both the single lap file and the session file were unchanged after export. The single lap works fine. The session asks for update rate and shows double lap times. I took a close look at the two files exposing all hidden characters and they look identical in formatting. Could it be a length issue? 25...

Circuit Tools showing double lap times for VBO import

I am exporting VBO files from sessions into Circuit Tools. When I export a single lap from HLT to VBO, everything is great. However, when I export a session, I am noticing that lap times are reported double. So a 1:00 lap is 2:00. I am using HLT with an external GPS (when it works) - 10Hz. CT asks f...

VBO Export to CT; Start/Finish/Splits not loading

I have exported a recent AX session to CT using the VBO format. Although I have set a start, finish and splits using HLT, when the file loads into CT, the preset points are not used, but the default start point for the loaded track overlay is used. Can someone advise how to fix this? I've attached t...

Re: GoPro Hero Session

I did not buy a Hero 5. The 'Frame' mount was not yet available which would have left me with no hardwired power option. I will wait until the Frame and other accessories (such as audio in cable) are available.

Re: GoPro Hero Session

I have been having increased luck recently with the GoPro Session. First, manual start in Race-->Time Mode seems to start the camera fine. Second, I realized one only has to turn the camera 'On' long enough for HLT to start its keep alive cadence communications with the camera. Thus, my process is n...

Re: Encoding of VCO export files

It is a Windows format, so most probably Windows-1252. I haven't checked it in the code but it is worth a try. - Harry That worked! Thanks, I now have a working script I can use to quickly add in the needful information to link a video to Circuit Tools using VBO data exported from HLT. 1)Enter pits...
