1) make the bec adjustable in increments rather than just 6v or 7.4
2) consider battery posts on another side and making the posts slightly bigger for 10 gauge wire
3) consider pre-wiring

Got a question on my new rc8 gen 2. Was looking at the set up sheets and a lot of guys run 80 current limiter how many LEDs are lit up to get 80. Or is exact percentages only achieved through Hotwire.

Thanks

I have a couple of suggestions for some things to add to the datalog in the future.

1. The ability to copy & superimpose one section over another.
2. The ability to superimpose (& synchronize) one run over another.

1&2 This is being worked on already.


now for the stretch goals

3. Have the datalog talk to the mylaps & mark laps on the log.
4. Have the datalog talk to the steering servo & log its possition.

3. This is unlikely as it would require an external module and working with Mylaps

4. Again this would likely require another module to grab the input of the servo and record it.


I figure the 1st 2 aren't THAT difficult, because they should be back end stuff in the hot wire, not in the ESC. The last 2 would probably be more for the gen3, I assume.

What I am wanting to do is be able to compare one lap or run directly with another. This would help greatly in finding which line is faster through a given corner with out have to rely on hitting every corner exactly the same every time. You could even compare multiple lines through multiple corners on the same lap.

Answers in red.
