Calculate Values for Display Overview

Former Member over 10 years ago

Dear Experts,

I posted this a year ago but get no response.

I use garmin virb XE with obd data for race tracks - works excellent!

I now want to display the Gear. For that i need to know:
Is there a possibility to calculate values?
I have: RPM and speed (from obd) and gear box ratio (from technical data) for every gear x1 to x6
I want: If speed divided by rpm = x1 display text "Gear 1" and this for every gear

Is this possible? I think this must be answered by some garmin programmers.

Thx

Chris

Unfortunately we do not support the display of gear information from OBD2 data.

Isn't gear position one of the values that is contained in OBD2 data? Just a matter of data capture, not data calculation?

No expert in OBD2 - just know it presents more data than a non-engineer layperson can comprehend.

Dear Falagar,

i know that gear box is no obd data.
Therefore i want to calculate it, out of the speed data and rpm data.
Is this possible in th virb edit overlay?
Like
IF speed divided by rpm = 3,6 THEN Display Text "Gear1"
and so on.
Is this possible?

It's theoretically possible, but not currently implemented.

This would be different for different cars, I assume, so it would have to be modifiable by the user.

It is a very interesting idea, and we'd have to flesh out the algorithm a bit.

We'll keep this in mind, but currently this is not supported. Sorry.
