Data
So, I've made the switch to a C7 Grand sport as my track car.
As I start checking off boxes in preparation, I'm looking into Data loggers. Unfortunately, my car was not equipped with the PDR.
The AIM SOLO 2 DL looks like the easy button and has a lot of support. I was and am still happy with my original AIM solo in my E36 and other pre-CAN cars I've tracked.
Is the AIM still a favored logger?
I also was also curious if anyone is logging the shock encoders and are they able to be read thru the OBD connection.
Thanks

AIM doesn't have the shock sensors in their available CAN profile. I've done my own one for the C7s/Camaro that has just about everything that PDR has. Shocks, Tire Pressure/Temp, driver modes, TC settings, etc.

The easy 5 minute solution is still Solo2DL. Only thing I don't like about it is the wireless download takes forever to connect and download for me, so I've moved away from them unless its something really last minute. I also found a max number of channels it could record which I bumped into doing testing of my own can bus profiles.

You got all that to work on an AIM SOLO DL? Curious because it seems like people were having trouble getting data like brake trace or steering, all things that PDR records. I wonder if your CAN channels would be the same as the ones used on newer C6s so that your profile could get brake traces, steering, etc.
AJ is very good with electronics integration in the vettes. You might be able to buy it from him, but the time suck to get what we all want on that is very high.
Just the AIM solo DL data that IS logged is stil very powerful. Most temps, pressures, and a lot of useful info.

Yes I have sold it, but so far only for dashs/loggers that I program in house.

I've been running a custom config for years and have *almost" everything the PDR captures (none of the suspension stuff)
it would be nice to get eLSD data logged but not sure if thats possible.

I'll have a couple friends that know more than I do both about the AIM and CAN.
What one tells me is that acquiring addresses would be helpful.
At any rate the additional data over my older AIM will be helpful

The C6 CAN doesn't have much data on it since it was the first go around for GM. The C6 does have steering position (unless you've disconnected the steering position sensor for TPMS disable purposes) and does have a brake pedal position via the BCM (not pressure). I've found and pulled ABS warnings/events too. The more data the better so I found it was worth the time to dig.

i have no idea why but the config for the c7 from aim (the last time i looked) was weirdly limited.
I've been running a custom config for years and have *almost" everything the PDR captures (none of the suspension stuff)
it would be nice to get eLSD data logged but not sure if thats possible.
