Enter An Alternative Preset Angle Manually
Posted: Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:16 pm
I used HLT for the first time on my track bike last week with mixed results. i have mounted the phone at -50 degrees in an aluminium case in front of the dash, so I wasn't able to use the Motorcycle Preset, which assumes +70 degrees.
Although HLT tried many times to calibrate, I was unable to complete any and had to "Force Calibration" to make it work regardless. I believe this was because I was attempting to do it between the garages at Wakefield Park where I could not ride or stop quickly. Doing a calibration on-track is not possible.
Would it be possible to provide for manual entering of the phone pitch, roll and yaw to create a specific preset orientation?
In my case, Roll = 0, Yaw = 0 (same as Motorcycle Preset) and Pitch = -50 (where Motorcycle Preset = +70).
If the accelerometer X & Y is not that of the phone case, it should be a simple case of laying the phone on a horizontal surface and telling HLT that it is level.
This would greatly simplify setting up HLT for a bike that is not road registered &/or the screen is untouchable when mounted in position.
NB: I was using my el-cheapo 10Hz Reyax GPS mounted in the duck-tail, and the aluminium case had a section cut out to give the Bluetooth antenna an unrestricted view. The case provides some protection for the phone (& consequently the track) should it part company with the bike in a crash.
