DriftBox Accessories

Micro Input Module

You can now log additional data alongside that of GPS by using the new Micro Input Module.

With one RPM and four analogue inputs, it is possible to record such parameters as engine speed, throttle angle, or brake force and so enhance the analysis that your DriftBox already offers.

A simple screw terminal - which disconnects from the module itself - makes for starightforward connection to engine sensors or ECU outputs. Signals are scaled and offset on the DriftBox itself, which now has an Input Module mode - the latest firmware which includes this can be downloaded from here.

The Micro Input Module connects to the Aux socket on the rear of the DriftBox, and communicates its data via serial RS232.

External Antenna

Available to purchase directly from Racelogic or the online store, the external aerial which plugs into the back of DriftBox is a useful addition, and essential for cars which have an athermic or anti-UV coated windscreen.

Using an external antenna on the vehicle's roof, DriftBox will have a less obstructed view of the sky. This will improve satellite reception if the area in which you are operating is heavily tree lined or built up, and can help to minimise drop-outs in logged data.

Windscreen Mount

Should you wish to transfer DriftBox from one car to another without having to remove the windscreen mount these are available as an accessory. The advantage in having a second mount is in not having to recalibrate DriftBox whenever it is transferred.

Serial Cables

When DriftBox diagnostic mode is active the RS232 serial port outputs NMEA standard format GPS information. This makes it directly compatible for use as GPS input to mapping software programs for navigation use.

The NMEA serial cable plugs into the port on the back of DriftBox and has a standard 9-way D plug at its end for connection to a suitably equipped laptop or PDA.

DriftBox also transmits live data on its serial port when it is in Drift Practice Mode. Any other devices with a serial input, such as a video overlay unit, can use this data. The telemetry/overlay serial cable plugs into the port on the back of DriftBox and has a standard 9-way D plug at its end for connection to suitable equipment. This cable is also supplied with the Telemetry Kit - see below.

Carry Case

The carry case is constructed from tough moulded plastic and contains a laser-cut foam insert which keeps all equipment secure during transit. Branded with the Racelogic logo.

Battery

The battery pack is an excellent solution if DriftBox is being used in a vehicle with no power supply. Rated at 2Ahr, the battery will provide up to eight hours of continuous use from a full charge.

Also included is a mains charger, with adaptors for use worldwide.
