not sure where the best place to put this, As some will know I like to make things, not long ass videos like this, but generally tinker with stuff and if I can make a cheap alternative to mega expensive off the shelf stuff I'm all over it. This brings me to the datalogs overlayed onto my trackday footage... NO IT'S NOT A VBOX I've been asked too many times about how it's done, so now you'll know! realistically, you would normally not want to have the data overlayed, as if your a bit poo like me it shows where your being chicken on the throttle or brakes. But as a technical excercise, the cost of the software, cheap android tablet and gps receiver has seen me ££££'s better off for essentially the same result as something like a Vbox Admins, please feel free to move this to a more suitable place if there is one!

That's really good mate. I''m thinking of doing a similar setup for the mk3 trackcar.

Nice Video, I keep meaning to do that.
It's not essentially the same as the Vbox of course, as you say it is not a Vbox, it just offers you some of the functionality, you can do more with the data using the a.n.a.l.ysis software with something like a VBOX that is more useful than overlaying data on the video, like overlaying performance data traces between trial runs and other runners (if they share, some do) to see how you compare.
You can probably do this with the data from an Android device but I always found it difficult to bring the Android data into any a.n.a.lysis tools, so I eventually moved away from this setup to a standalone box, which for me was more reliable, had good software and never failed, always connected to GPS etc, never crashes.
One of my friends does it evern easier and just mounts a Android device with camera where you would have the camera and just runs Harrys laptimer which will give you all the data and over lay in one step, no faffing, all ready to upload direct from device when he comes in, neat simple solution really if you don't want to do in depth a.n.a.lysis.
Bloody word filter
