Importing laps to Circuit Tools

Post by dougidleracing »

Hi :-)
I was wondering if I could have some help importing laps to Circuit Tools please?

I'm exporting the session from the current version of laptimer on my iPhone and using AirDrop to send it to my Mac. When I open the file in Circuit Tools it identifies the track correctly but the number of laps is incorrect. The correct number is 33 but Circuit Tools lists over 60. From looking at the lap times I think each sector is being treated as a separate lap.

The track map is also not being displayed correctly, with only the first sector being shown.

I've attached a screenshot.

In LapTimer, all 24 laps are shown correctly.

Any ideas on how to resolve this please?

Thanks,
Doug

Please keep in mind that both LapTimer and CT apply their own algorithm and track definition to split recordings into laps. VBO is a session long log file without lap splits. Once opened in CT, the data is split by CT. It is probably an issue with CT‘s track definition or with the data quality.

Boom! I managed to get this to work by adjusting the 'gate width' setting down to its minimum value of 10. Maybe its to do with it being a Karting circuit and a lot tighter than a car circuit.

Rename or convert video Race%202.mp4 to VID_0003.MP4
Rename or convert video asset.mov?id=1D1D92A3-DF7F-4DE7-92B7-A45F06291C80&ext=mov to VID_0004.MP4
Where are these files please? I'd assumed that the video file would be the created on my iPad but there's only one file created when I do the overlay not 2. "Race 02.mp4" looks like my original file - is it? What's the second please? VID_0003.MP4 is only used briefly and then it's VID_0004.MP4 for the majority of the file.

Any ideas please?

Thanks,
Doug
