You can try the suction cups. I'm sending them for you, but they didn't work for me.

Cool, nice work Aidan (and gf!)
Velcro probably a better idea all around, just don't get the really cheap stuff that doesn't stay stuck to the glass in the heat of the sun...

I have some extra strong stuff laying around from my ECU and Fused Circuit work. I will just do it right the first time, I don't want stuff flying around at the track.

Very excited! I am hosting a Test N Tune on the 13th and a Time Attack on the 21st. I look forward to trying it out.

What was the issue with the suction cups? Not sticking to the windshield? Or is it the cup to module connection?

Just wanted to update this thread with another prop for this product.

This last weekend we did the 24 hour chumpcar race at VIR and used the aidandj gps module with race chrono running on a very old samsung Galaxy S (like the original one...).

The thing worked perfectly for 24 hours. We mounted it to the windshield with the supplied suction cups and never had any problems. The gps would lose power at ever pit stop, but it would start right back up and sync with the phone immediately.

We have 24+ hours of ~10hz data, 496 laps worth.

So my unit now has a total of 52 hours of racing use in two different cars, in all sorts of different conditions (rain, heavy blowing rain, extreme heat, and temperate weather) and has never missed a beat once.

I can't recommend this enough. Heck, if it broke tomorrow and never worked again I'd still be a satisfied customer.

Cheers
