Race Keeper HDX2 Two Camera System with CAN/Power Lead
Most professionally built race cars have custom ECU's or Dash Displays that are capable to supplying the data it captures to additional devices using CAN communication, meaning you will not need to double up on sensors in order to measure the same parameters. The additional driver data channels you would want to capture via CAN would include:
Speed
RPM
Throttle
Steering Angle
Gear Position
Brake Pressure
HDX2 is CAN enabled as standard and will support connection to a number of standard ECU's manufactured by Bosch, Motec, Pectel and MBE. It is also possible for custom CAN protocols to be created so if you are interested in adding these extra data channels to your system but you are running an ECU that is not currently supported, please get in touch.
