GPSCAN receiver

GPSCAN - Up to 100Hz CAN GPS Receiver

GPSCAN

Our latest CAN based GPS receiver that is much more than simple GPS. It is used for testing trains, tires, cars, rally cars, race motorcycles etc...

GPSCAN can be built with very fast 100Hz GPS for applications needing the lowest possible latency. Our devices are used in many drag race motorcycles/cars and is used to control the launch and traction control systems. Check here how fast it is.

GPS

Device can be equipped with any GPS receiver, even a receiver with an accurate L5 band is available. 

Construction

Lightweight but still strong, made to anodized aluminum casing. Weatherproof since potted.

Other advantage is that the cheap antenna is separate and the receiver itself can be installed into a safe location.

Compatibility

Compatible with any CAN system, we have DBC file available to make install simple and fast.

MoTeC Compatibility

Plug & Play with all MoTeC devices, M1 ECU, displays, loggers etc...

Replacement for RaceGrade GPS devices, now included with MoTeC STC emulation and MoTeC GPS Async template.

Optional - GPS Pulse

GPS Pulse is a feature where the GPS will send pulses and can be connected to any digital input. So, now GPS speed can be used by any ECU, even without serial or CAN bus. Check here how the GPS Pulse is used by one of our customers.

Optional - RalliTimer

RalliTimer is a new feature that can be used to time rally stages. Timer measures stage times, both directions automatically. GPSCAN/RTKCAN is powered from the phone so no connections to the car are needed.
