AIM MyChron5 S Dash Logger / Kart Lap Timer With GPS

AIM MyChron5 S is the new, latest version of the game-changing datalogger designed for kart racing.

• The GPS frequency has improved from 10 to 25 Hz and the precision accuracy has improved from about 5 feet to 2 (1.5 m to 45 cm in approximately).
• Redesigned Wi-Fi Module: a new firmware is under test for improving the baud rate. The data download will be 5 times faster.
• More powerful processor: 2 times faster than the current MyChron5 and with much more memory; a lot of firmware features are being developed.
• Different inertial platform: at 9 axes this will help in the development of many useful math channels.

The AIM MyChron5 S Dash Logger / Kart Lap Timer is a high-resolution graphical display with built-in 25Hz GPS to sample, view, and record kart engine parameters and lap data. The MyChron5 S unit is a multifunction system that logs and stores speed, lap times (including split and predictive), gear, temperature, and rpm as well as data from the optional LCU-One Lambda Controller and MyChron Expansion module.

The MyChron5 S features ONE temperature sensor input, which can be used to measure the following – water temperature, “under spark plug” CHT (Cylinder Head Temperature) or EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature).

The MyChron5 S is supplied with either an M10 (Rotax) or M5 water temperature sensor, an under plug CHT (Cylinder Head Temperature) sensor, or an EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature)sensor (standard M5 or M12 to suit KF Engine Type).

Additional sensors can be added using the AIM MyChron Expansion module, or if it is only 2 temperatures that require monitoring then please, consider the MyChron5 S 2T (2 temperature) version.

With SEVEN configurable display colors to choose from, enabling the driver to view clear, easy-to-read numerical readouts on track such as lap times and lap number, RPM in a configurable scale, and 1 temperature value. Once back in the paddock, you can scroll through all relevant data on the display: lap times, with best lap indication, max RPM, and max temperature value.

The MyChron 5 S has been developed to provide data acquisition solutions to the beginner, showing essential functional information, right through the spectrum to professional teams, who require detailed, tailored, and specialized data. Data is recorded to the internal 4Gb memory and can be downloaded via WiFi to your PC for post-race analysis with the professional Race Studio software (free to download).

Integrated GPS: The system takes advantage of an internal wide track database, in order to automatically understand at which track you are, where and how many are magnetic strips: without any further sensor or configuration you will automatically get lap times, predictive lap times, and split times. GPS data, acquired ten times per second, are of course recorded with other signals in the internal data logger, in order to offer the possibility of a deeper analysis of your performance.

Robust housing with wider display: The new Nylon chassis with metallic push buttons guarantees even more resistance to shocks and water. The anti-scratch non-reflecting polycarbonate screen and the wider display ensure great readability.

Completely configurable pages: Define as many pages as you wish, showing graphic bars or just digits, via software or directly on your dash.

Ambient light sensor: The MyChron5S 5T provides optimum viewing in diverse lighting conditions: the display brightness is automatically adjusted according to the environment light.

Rechargeable lithium battery: No problems with traditional batteries anymore: MyChron5S 2T is powered by a dedicated rechargeable - and removable - lithium battery. It is long-lasting (about 10 hours duration) and easy to recharge, placed on its magnetic basement connected to the power adapter. An (optional) external power lead connection is available to connect to your Kart's 12v battery if you prefer.

Shift light and alarm LEDs: Five RGB shift lights can be configured for each gear, choosing LED color and RPM threshold values which will turn them on/off. They also allow RPM monitoring at a glance. Even alarms are managed in a very flexible way: you choose the situation that generates the alarm, the LED behavior (blinking frequency and color) when the alarm appears, and the conditions for its switch-off.

WiFi connection: Download your data to your PC, look at the online measures, upgrade your firmware, and transmit parameters using the well-known Data Key or through fast WiFi connection.

Expansion options: Adding new modules you will get all the additional information you need: LCU-One Lambda controller, perfectly tuning the carburetion of your engine. MyChron Expansion, the channel multiplier adds additional sensors that permit you to check when you brake and accelerate, as well as Power Valve behavior.
