The Black Box

One controller. Every peripheral. A GPS, G-force, and vector-enabled MCU that adapts to what you connect — wings, shocks, turbos, and whatever comes next.

S/02/Capabilities·What it does

Four inputs. One decision.

The Black Box reads where you are, what the car is doing, logs every millisecond, and talks to your phone. Together, these four faculties make every wing decision deterministic.

· I ·
Position

GPS Activation

u-blox NEO-6M tracks position 5 times per second. Lock under thirty seconds. The Black Box reads track entry, corner, and straight automatically.

5 Hz · 2.5 m accuracy · 50-channel
· II ·
Motion

G-Force Response

MPU-6050 6-axis IMU resolves cornering load and braking event in milliseconds. Lateral, longitudinal, and yaw rate fed into the same control loop as GPS.

±16 g · ±2000°/s · 200 Hz fused
· III ·
Logging

Telemetry

Every session stored to micro SD as raw CSV. Wing angle, speed, lateral G, brake bias, lap delta. Pull the card, drop into AIM, MoTeC, or Harry's LapTimer.

Session-based · CSV export
· IV ·
Companion

App Integration

iOS and Android companion connects over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Live wing angle, live lap timer, profile tuning. Lifetime updates included.

S/03/Decision Loop·Sensor → Black Box → Wing

Two hundred decisions per second.

GPS and IMU stream into the Black Box at 200 Hz. The deterministic loop computes target angle, then drives the hydraulic actuators in under 120 ms. Before the apex.
