Data acquisition thread.....

Help Support Ducati Forum:
I haven’t used DDA, so take this for what it’s worth….
1) AIM software seems orders of magnitude better
2) You don’t need to do anything to have it learn the track, start/finish line. It’s just starts recording data when you hit the track. DDA you need to tell it when to record, where the finish line is, etc
3) You can store years worth of data before its full. DDA holds something silly like 20-30 laps, not enough for a full day or weekend
4) I think it’s more accurate
5) You can use it on another bike or car
6) You can download track maps, it doesn’t need to “learn” the track first
Probably some other .... as well
4500km on track, zero issues
It’s not exactly reliable, you cannot export data to CSV for use in data overlays (well, there is a way and I have it working but it’s in beta and not ready to be shared), doesn’t provide brake pressure (even though it’s possible to do so on ABS bikes), the Prosa software isn’t exactly great and shows no signs of being updated and improved from when it was released and probably some other stuff I’ve forgotten. Those are the main things for me though.

For starters it does recognize what track you are at, so you have to set the start line on the fly which is kind of an annoying unreliable procedure, and if you get it wrong you have to ride 25 miles away from the track to reset it lol
Kinda silly.

Finally got the bike out after tracking down some annoying audio vibrations that made my other videos unwatchable. Still some weird alternator like whine under deceleration that has me baffled. A quick vid of me following a buddy during his 1-on-1 training.
Scary bit for him, ran off the back straight on the next lap, brake lines somehow snapped the little bracket at the back of the front fender and the tire slowly sawed through the lines. He was able to downshift and back brake it into the desert and keep it upright in the sand.

It looks like it's actually 172 x 131 x 35
Quite large.
It looks like it can be set to record when moving.
The SmartyCam Dual is 154.4 x 109.6 x 42 - a decent amount smaller and marginally fatter.
The SmartyCam GP (single camera) is 120.8 x 80.2 x 30.9 - quite a bit smaller for obvious reasons I guess.

That’s not the product I linked.
I was talking about this, its 81x52x37mm

that company is about 5 miles from my house....
What camera option (degrees) would be best for the back of the bike to view body position? They do 67, 84 and 120 degrees.
The dual camera option would be nice but I can’t really see where on earth it would be possible to fit the rather huge controller.

I’d guess the 120.
If I was really determined I’d make a cut out for the controller where the storage compartment is.
The controller seems to be 154.4x109.6 x 42mm but you always need some additional room for where the cables stick out… it’s quite a size to fit somewhere on these bikes. I have found a mildly used Dual with 120 and 67 degree cameras. A cable can be made up quite cheaply to connect to the ECU. It looks like it also needs a GPS unit (I’ve been discussing this as a standalone option with AIM and they have not mentioned that I will need a GPS unit - not sure if they haven’t suggested it because it doesn’t need it or if it simply hasn’t occurred to them for some reason).
The single-camera option is quite a bit cheaper and I think I’m more interested in the rear camera to see body position, although a front camera provides useful information as well. It’s not a lot smaller though - 120.8 x 80.2 x 30.9 mm.
The only options that look suitable for a rear-mounted camera are the bullet-camera devices or perhaps a Solo 2 DL with a Sport camera.

The AIM GPS09 module works with it.
Thanks. It does require a GPS module though, right? I think it does…

Yes, but I didn’t know if it was required or not - none is also an option in the GPS section and AIM had not mentioned that it would be needed when they provided me with a quote by email, so they were content to sell it to me without a GPS module.
So it looks like a GPS module is required. The cost for that GPS dongle is between one third and half the cost of the Solo 2 DL, which has GPS integrated. That GPS dongle must be highly complex…
