Set your own split positions and lap start with Mychron 4 with GPS
If you are running at a track where you don’t like where the splits are set, or there aren’t enough you can use the GPS to look after the split timing itself. You tell the mychron where you want it to start timing laps and also where you want the splits to be. You can have up to five splits, compared to most tracks that have up to three.
To do it you need the Mychron GPS connected, and you go into the splits setting screen. You schroll down and change the strips type from magnetic/optical to GPS laptimer. You still need to set the number of splits, but the choice is yours. You can select up to 5.
Then you can go back to the initial start up screen and press the on/view button, untill you see the GPS satellites screen. On that screen you will be asked to press ok to begin settings, and you then need to press the ok button whilst driving around the track where you want the splits to occur.
If for whatever reason you can’t get the time to go out on track and set the splits, or if your driver doesn’t fancy setting them, it is possible to set up the mychron4 gps splits without going directly on track. I’ve done it myself by getting the kart as close as possible to the track, usually in the parc ferme or dummy grid, and then setting the gps start beacon from there. If you do this you should only set the number of splits to one.
You can then use the Race Studio analysis to review splits and so on.
