Hi Robert,
We have the Jupiter working well in our prototype;
just need more of them for the final units.
I've met Dave and know about his work. My timing
requirements are a bit "slower" than Thrust SSC.
I can only imagine what an experience that must
have been.
I'm involved with a number of Open Road Racing
organizations in the US. The main function of my
equipment is to provide accurate "end to end"
timing over the full distance of the course which is
between 26 to 84 miles. An associate of mine has
become more involved with the timing of Mile
Shootouts, which are more similar to LSR than my
events.
Do you still enjoy Jazz?
Thanks much for your input and if I had a much
larger budget, I'd look into the units that you
suggested.

Hi Dabney,
Sorry for the silence, I missed your reply. It's impossible to know without
full details but I'm not sure that the 10kHz output is that suited to this
application. The Jupiter has a 1 Hz update rate. As I understand it the 10kHz
is updated at 1Hz which can cause phase jumps. I assume you have optical traps
along the course. I'd look at the Trimble Palisade or Accutime units. These
have a time-mark input. When this is triggered the unit will output the time
with 320ns resolution (Accutime 200). This could then be sent by wireless to
the timing control.
On the 770MPH + car I had two systems. An electronic one using a reluctance sensor
triggered by the brake disk drive dogs. The second one was a pitot driven airspeed
indicator. I made the indicator by modifying a Machmeter from an F4 Phantom. The static
reference pressure was "stored" in a stainless steel Dewar (OK a Stanley
Thermos flask). The official timing was done by Dave Petrali of USAC. That was using
traditonal light traps and electroinc timers.
Regards,
Robert G8RPI.

Hi All,
I don't suppose anyone found any of the Jupiter units over the weekend?
Thanks - Dabney

Hi Robert,
Yes, its for the 10kHz output.
Basically the units will be part of a set of timing computers that will be
used at
fixed locations to measure time intervals.
That's very fast, how did you test it at that speed?
Thanks - Dabney

Hi Dabney,
Why the Jupiter? I assume it's for the 10kHz output, but can't see where
that applies to automotive timing. I have a couple of Jupiters and also have
an interest in automotive speed events. The fastest speedometer I've
designed and built so far did over 770MPH.
Regards,
Robert G8RPI.

Hi All,
I'm looking for approximately 10 of the Jupiter GPS modules
for a personal timing project; I time automotive speed events.
I'm aware of the units available on eBay from Hong Kong but
would like to try to source them from US markets first.
Thanks for any assistance,
Dabney in Denver
