Race Capture 2
Apparenly Autosports Labs are coming out with a second version of their data logger.
The original one was, in my opinion, quite amazing. They had a crowdfunding campaign for $250 and I was sad that I missed out on it.
Now they are coming out with a new version and and its pretty baller

Hi soviet, thanks for sharing! let us know if we can answer any specific questions as it pertains to Miatas / turbo Miatas especially 
A couple of weeks ago we were talking with Keith Tanner and the topic of Hydra integration via CAN bus came up. After looking at their CAN bus protocol it'll be very easy to injest that data via one of the CAN ports on RCP.

Very nice price for the system. 50Hz gps rate is crazy fast. What data analysis software does your system use?

Hi cyotani, Good point about megasquirt. Basically we can accept any CAN bus format and translate them into virtual channel data, so long as the format is known.
On the topic of analysis, we'll have 3 options:
1) web based analysis of session data at RaceCapture/Live - Wireless race car data and telemetry system . Data flows to the cloud in real-time via telemetry for live analysis of data, and afterwards.
2) The new V2 app will offer analysis features and be targeted for touch-oriented devices (phone / tablet) - so you won't need your laptop trackside. The app will also run on Windows / OS X / Linux as well. Some app screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/bsyDt
3) For the more traditional approach, we'll provide an easy export to the industry-standard, free-to-use GEMS analysis software: GEMS - General Engine Management Systems Ltd - GEMS Data Analysis - GDA

Also I thought you have to build your own CAN PIDs in the MS code to configure messages which would make it not a standard OBDII style layout.
MegaSquirt-II Controller Area Network
Or does the MS code send out CAN packets with the usual RPM, CLT, etc in OBDII style formats, and this document linked about just an optional feature you can develop.

There is a free-to-use version of the GEMS software that you can download and use.
Actually, this started out when one of our users contributed a conversion script that transforms our data files into GEMS format. ( https://github.com/autosportlabs/RCP2GEMS ) We'll be incorporating this script as a 'save as' option in our software.
We don't officially endorse the the use of GEMS nor do we have a business relationship with them - just that it's a data format we support. Kind of like how OpenOffice supports saving in MS Office format.
Also worth noting that the analysis features we'll be creating will have many of the essential capabilities of the desktop software, but in a tablet / touch oriented interface and be connected to the cloud and real-time data, so you can mix/match data comparisons between your sessions, sessions from your friends, and so on. Hope that helps!

Hi Leafy, we hear you We're improving the software quite a bit - both in features and moving it to a modern, touch-oriented interface, where the data will be accessible in real-time and also for off-line analysis.
And, for the traditional software route, we'll also have an export to the GEMS format so you can do your analysis there too.

I'd have to learn more about how MS's CAN interface works, but if it can be configured to continuously stream CAN bus messages that would be much higher performance than the OBD-II style request / reply for PIDs.
In fact, on Sunday we tapped into the instrument cluster stream for a 2006 Lotus Elise; here's a little write-up on how we did it: Pre- CAN/OBD-II Lotus elise – you CAN data! | Autosport Labs

Brent Picasso: Go work with Reverant to make this Plug & Play with the MS2/MS3 and I dare say you will sell quite a few of these units.
