Once upon a time, in the fast-paced world of motorcycle racing, a young and ambitious rider named Alex was determined to become the best in the sport. However, Alex knew that to achieve their dream, they needed to push the boundaries of technology and find a way to gain a competitive edge.

One day, while researching advanced navigation systems, Alex stumbled upon a revolutionary technology called Real-Time Kinematic, eTesta RTKCAN GPS. Intrigued by its potential, Alex delved deeper into understanding how eTesta RTKCAN GPS could benefit motorcycle racing applications.

eTesta RTKCAN GPS was known for its exceptional accuracy and consistency. Unlike traditional GPS systems that provided location data with a few meters of accuracy, eTesta RTKCAN GPS offered centimeter-level precision. It achieved this by utilizing a base station that emitted correction signals to a receiver mounted on the motorcycle. This receiver, equipped with eTesta RTKCAN technology, would then process the correction signals and provide incredibly precise location data in real time.

The implications of such accuracy and consistency in motorcycle racing were immense. With eTesta RTKCAN GPS, riders could precisely track their position on the race track, enabling them to take optimal racing lines, brake later into corners, and find the most efficient paths. This meant shaving off valuable seconds from lap times, making a significant difference in a race where every millisecond counted.

Excited by the possibilities, Alex wasted no time in acquiring an eTesta RTKCAN GPS system and integrating it into their motorcycle. The first time they hit the track with the new technology, Alex felt an immediate difference. The bike responded more precisely to their inputs, and they could navigate the complex corners with newfound confidence.

But it wasn't just the accuracy that impressed Alex. The consistency of eTesta RTKCAN GPS was equally crucial. Traditional GPS systems could be influenced by various factors such as signal blockage, atmospheric interference, or satellite positioning errors, leading to inconsistent data. However, eTesta RTKCAN GPS eliminated these uncertainties by constantly receiving correction signals from the base station, ensuring a consistent and reliable stream of information.

As Alex's skill and confidence grew with each practice session, so did their success on the racetrack. The eTesta RTKCAN GPS technology provided them with an invaluable advantage, allowing them to analyze their performance in intricate detail. They could identify areas for improvement, fine-tune their racing lines, and experiment with different strategies, all with the assurance of accurate and consistent data.

Word of Alex's exceptional performance quickly spread through the racing community. Other riders soon followed suit, adopting eTesta RTKCAN GPS systems to enhance their own performance. As a result, the level of competition soared to new heights, with racers pushing themselves and their machines to previously unimaginable limits.

In the end, the use of eTesta RTKCAN GPS technology not only revolutionized motorcycle racing but also became a standard tool for every aspiring rider. Its accuracy and consistency changed the way racers approached their craft, allowing them to reach unprecedented levels of skill and pushing the boundaries of what was once considered possible.

And so, Alex's dedication to exploring cutting-edge technology and embracing the power of eTesta RTKCAN GPS not only fulfilled their own dreams but transformed motorcycle racing into an even more thrilling and competitive sport, inspiring generations of riders to aim for greatness.

FlexAnt1, World's smallest Racing GPS antenna is now available for delivery.

I had a chance to test the antenna together with our friends at Russell Racing in Cartagena. Huge thanks to Alistair Russell and Tim Seed (Technical Race Development) for the opportunity to test.
Check here how the antenna performed: http://etesta.com/new/flexant1.html

You can follow Rusell Racing in Instagram and Facebook:

First motorcycle test for the flex antenna and result is much better than expected. More satellites, better HDOP than an antenna that weighs 98gr.

3 uses of our New pDyno: motorcycle chassis, hub and engine only. All in one. Integrated into ECU.

I have been working on this on and off for a while. The idea was born while back from watching MotoGP and other motorcycle series. I have been wondering why there are no smaller antennas available. Typically, there is an antenna belonging to the team and series organizers antennas for location and timing.
The weight of the antenna is 1gr and 0.1mm think. Antenna can be covered with your favorite sticker.

I have made a few prototypes along the way. The system is now almost final and ready for production. Limited deliveries are planned to start in September after the summer vacations.

Check http://etesta.com/new/flex-antenna.html with test results compared to standard GPS antenna.

I have been working on this pDyno project for a few months now and it is time to reveal it. P in the pDyno comes from Finnish word pikkuDyno, smallDyno. The goal was that the system fits into the trunk of my BMW 320d and I'm happy to say that it does.

All design factors in the order of importance:
1. Small, must fit to the trunk. Done.
2. It had to work with a normal car 12V battery. Done.
3. Everything must be CAN bus based. Done.
4. Integrated to the MoTeC M1 ECU firmware. Done.
5. The system must be able to work with cars as hub dyno, engine only or chain driven for motorcycle use. Done.

I will be revealing more details daily so follow us to see what is going on. The device is in the working prototype phase and is working as designed. Production and deliveries will start in September.
Contact us if you are interested in learning more details.

This is how we test - GPSCAN GPS Fix reliability and time

Earlier I talked about the ten thousand startups test, now it is time to talk about GPS Fix reliability and time test. The most important thing about GPS devices is that it finds satellites as fast as possible. Fix time will vary because satellites are moving and not in the same location all the time.
In this test we turn on the GPS device. At the same time a time counter is started and counts time from 0 to 35secs. Timer stops counting when reported satellites is 4 or higher and GPS OK Counter is incremented. If fix isn't found, GPS No Fix counter is incremented.
This goes on then for 24hours constantly.

This is how we test - GPSCAN Startups

We perform a lot of testing to make sure everything works as designed. One of the tests we are performing for is the ten thousand device startups test. Test runs continuously where the GPS is powered on for 10secs with 1 sec pause. At 5sec, we check that the GPS is sending the GPS Date to the CAN bus. We know that GPS receiver is OK if GPS Date > 0. If so, the GPS OK counter is increased. This goes on for 9999 more times and there can't be any fails for the test to Pass.

Busy test day today and we are ready for holidays. No more production until September so contact me now if you need the equipment during the summer.

GPSL20/25 HA is now available and provides

GPS Accuracy part 2:
Yesterday we shared our GPS accuracy test method and the result from our reference device. Attached is the result from our GPSL25 SA (Standard Accuracy) device, blue circle in the picture. Laps overlap and the distance between laps is estimated to be about 0.17m.
Red is the result from our reference device, accuracy is about 1m, the worst is that the laps are not consistent.

Next, we will investigate how we test GPS's at high lean angles typical in motorcycle applications.

This is how we test the accuracy of our GPS's.

Tests are always done at the same time of the day, in the same physical location and antennas in the same position. This way the results are comparable between the devices.
Antennas are placed on the roof of the car as shown in the picture. Then, we drive loops with the car at the speed of 9kmh, steering at full lock.
The result should be a perfect circle and laps should overlap.
This is not always the case, here is the "circle" of the closest competitor.
Visit us tomorrow to see how our GPSL25 SA worked.

New Firmware 5.1 for GPS8V2

Our new firmware 5.1 for GPS8V2 is now available and includes some unique features that are not available in any other device. GPS8V2 Moto edition can now calculate the suspension histograms in real time during the lap. Results are available immediately after the lap is complete and can then be shown on the display to the rider.
Lap timing is now available and the average accuracy in our tests is about 37ms. Pit lane detection and pit lane timer is now included together with Automatic track detection, up to 100 tracks.
Other important feature is the support for our display product line which will be available shortly.
