Race Technology

I've read the thread further down about fitting a brake light switch to a DL1 for simple brake point/distance logging.

I run a single seater, so no brake lights.

Therefore I want to have one side of the switch on the DL1 reference voltage, and the other on the input terminal. Is that correct? I also note I should use a pull down resistor (presumably between input and earth) [or would a pull up resistor be better?] - what sort of resistor values should I use?

Mk1 DL1 by the way, if it makes any difference.

Thanks,

Tristan

All you need is a swith between reference V and the analog input. No resistor is required, there is an internal pulldown.

Thank you very much Al! Much appreciated, and it'll be wired in at the weekend.

Put something to this effect on the wiki/knowledgebase for future reference

What's the best way of getting into Analysis with 1s and 0s (1 for braking 0 for not).

Can I edit the equation on the variable input:

if(x>2.5,1,0)

Would that work, or should I do stuff like that on a user defined variable?
