RaceDAC client

Disclaimer: RaceDAC itself is not a project of me. It is excellent entry level data acquisition module that can be used either with cars or motorcycles. It is what I self use with my KTM RC8. 

The most useful software for it, even for professional type datalogging and laptiming, is and will be RaceChrono and that is what I self use on trackdays to time my performance and log the data from RaceDAC. RaceChrono already has support for RaceDAC for most of it features and it will have full support from next release version.

These software pieces are only done by interested to the product and the game, to ease up the configuration and play with the box.

The story behind RaceDAC.
