New product alert! https://www.autosportlabs.com/product/esp32-can-x2-dual-can-bus-automotive-grade-development-board/
Introductory price of $39.95 (regularly $49.95) - expires midnight June 2

For customers wanting to do custom CAN bus enabled sensors and widgets we've always recommended they "Get an Arudino + CAN bus shield. Oh, and also get an automotive-grade power supply". We got tired of seeing these messes of boards and wires in harsh automotive environments, so we came out with a fun development board specifically designed for this task.

Our ESP32-CAN-X2 features the powerful ESP32-S3 with 8MB flash / 8MB RAM, TWO CAN bus ports, and an automotive-grade power supply, to protect against the harsh electrical system you'll find in cars.

You'll have endless possibilities:

* Create a button panel to broadcast messages to your PDM
* Trigger a relay (with additional support circuitry) via a CAN bus message
* Illuminate LEDs and indicators based on CAN bus messages
* Bridge two CAN bus networks with different baud rates
* Collect data from two different CAN bus networks with different baud rates
* Isolate traffic between CAN networks
*Create a “man in the middle” agent, which will help identify the source of CAN messages, helpful for CAN bus reverse-engineering efforts
* And much more - starter Arduino and circuitpython projects on our wiki will help you get going quickly.

Fantastic results with RaceCapture telemetry!

Analyzing data from our last race. A few gaps in data due to a need for some additional sensors, but having this data is great for helping each driver maximize the car's performance. The best part is we are now better able to see this in real-time inside the pits as well.

RaceCapture App 2.14.0 is available with an important new feature - session upload to Podium! https://www.autosportlabs.com/racecapture-app-2-14-0-batch-upload-to-podium/

Since the beginning of time we’ve offered the powerful ability to broadcast telemetry in realtime to Podium. This has been used by our community for millions of laps across many forms of racing. However, a much needed feature is the ability to upload data to Podium, after the fact.

Up until now, importing a batch of laps to Podium has been a tedious affair:

* Export laps to a local file on the device
* Copy it off of the device via USB or some other means
* Upload to Podium via the web interface

Now, you’ll be able to upload to Podium directly from the RaceCapture app, after your session is complete!

RaceCapture App 2.14.0 is available on all platforms - Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, iOS, and even Raspberry Pi! - get it today: https://www.autosportlabs.com/racecapture-app-2-14-0-batch-upload-to-podium/
