CORE hardware, Flipside Racing software and dNaNo

[Sinister_Y]

Hi All,

Quick question to the group about feedback on how the above noted combo works.

Flip Side had commented the following:

Yes, if you use the Flip Side software with the Core lap counter it can
detect the dNaNo cars. But it suffers from the same problem that the
smaller Core tags did, it does not get a very strong signal. The dNaNo's
will only be detected around the antenna wire itself and not in the middle
of it like we are used to with the regular tags.

Arch2b was kind enough to let me borrow a dNaNo for the Kyosho lap counter
work and while I had it I tested it with my software and the Core reader.
But since I did not have a controller to run the car I could only wave it
around with my hand and confirm that it worked.

No one has confirmed that the tags get detected well enough during a race.
A few people have said they will try but I have never heard back after that.
So if you do get a chance to try and it does or does not work please let me
know.

So, is anyone running this combo and how does it work?

Note I have a post in both the mini-zracer.com and giro-z.com forums to TRP (people who make the Giro-Z lap counter hardware) about using their transponders with dnanos.

Also note that my first order went into Kyosho America today and that I can provide feedback on the above to everyone.

Cheers,

S

i don't think there has been enough spread of either timing systems and or dnano's to provide flipside with a large amount of feedback. i honestly have not tried this with my setup but i will this weekend as i have a core unit, dnanos and both corespeedway and flipside software.

Sorry, at the club we use the kyosho hardware so I won't be abble to comment.

But I can already tell you that we really love the flipside software.
It's still improving almost every week and that's a really cool product.

....very, very interested in progress of this. Have the Kyosho system ...let us know how your testing goes Arch.

i tired for an hour or so and was not able to get core using flipside to read a dnano transponder?

[lornecherry]

my bad; I thought the combo you were testing was Kyosho + Flipside (not Core + Flipside). If Core understood customer service, they would have cut a deal with Kyosho to upgrade all old Core users to the latest (Kyosho) stuff for minimal charge. That's just the way it's done.
