magnetospeed v3 hardware question

[kadat]

I am currently torn between getting a magnetospeed or a lab radar. The lab radar interface seems significantly better than the magnetospeed, but the magnetospeed seems more convenient in every other regard.

So what o was thinking was that it might be easy enough to build a little mod chip that would stream the data from the magnetospeed to my phone over bluetooth.

I was wondering if anyone has looked inside the brain box and could provide some images of the circuitry so I could see if this would actually be feasible. I'm thinking the worst case you'd have to make a screen scraper. But in the extreme worst case, the screen would be connected with a zebra strip. In which case, all of my no.

Hell. Maybe this mod already exists and someone can point me to it.

It comes with a jack, with the xfr adapter you can upload to your phone with the app.

You can try to MacGyver it if you want but they make the adapter already like Apollo said.

Yeah. I'm not interested in keeping up with a proprietary cable though. I'm also not interested in using their app. I want to use my own app.
It does have me thinking though that maybe the bayonet transmits a digital signal to the display. That would be sick.

Im sure you can plug a oscilloscope to it and get some readings and figure it out, but your gonna need a working crono measuring after it. imo, the adapter would be the cheaper faster route. How about developing one using 2 lasers for detection, that would be interesting

Thats pretty much the idea now. Just buy one and have a probe around. I was on the fence about getting the magnetospeed when I started the thread and I was hoping some pictures of the PCB would make the decision easier. This morning though, I read about some more deal breakers, like the lab radar not working in the rain, so I will be ordering the magnetospeed in the next couple of days.

Lcd is soldered to the pcb, thats about the best i can get

That's awesome man! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I can't wait to dig into this project
