What's it all about ?

So what is the RaspberryPi Track Day Data Logger ?

Well, I decided to try and combine some of my interests into a little project.

So I'm into my cars and I'm into computers and I love to make things so I came up with the idea of making a data logger for track days.

For those that don't know what a data logger is it's a device which will record all sorts of useful data about your laps as you whiz round a circuit. Kind of like the stuff they have on F1 cars.

So records things like location, speed, braking, acceleration, lap times etc etc. Even video !!!

Commercial units cost anything from £500 to over £1000.

So I think I might be able to knock something together from readily available components, plus with my computer programming background I can write the software I need to run it all how I want it to work.
