110€ for this? …. sorry, it doesn’t have expensive logo like “Ferrari” or “Adidas”. 30 for materials, 20 for work. 60 for what?

I like how you calculated all that as if it were absolute fact.
Are you saying you’d pay €110 for it if it had a well know branded logo ?
heh, big corporations love people like that. The buying public is soooo gullible which is why loads of people have ipods (but thats a different story).

Right, the video… could’ve done without the music really, kinda pointless on a video like this.
But what I want to know is can the lap timer hold the split times and final lap time for a few seconds so you can see them on the display ?
I noticed it conveniently cut away twice just before reaching sector points so we never got a chance to see. So I suspect it won’t.
For me that’s a make or break feature. I want a device like that to show me my sector times even if its only for 3-4s.
If it can be made to do that, I’m definately interested.

I doubt it… look at 3:37 in the video where he crosses the S/F line… wondered the same thing
Oh, and tbh when I saw the price I really did think that it actually was kind of cheap. I mean you could argue that you’d get a wheel for that amount of money, but surely the customers are the same ones as the same customers who pay around 1k € for a steering wheel and probably have a cockpit.
You can kinda compare it to the Flight Simmers. There are ppl who buy a 10€ joystick and have fun in their Boeing (probably doing loopings and flying under bridges j/k), then there are ppl like me who have a yoke and then there are ppl who build their 100% model of an Airbus 340 cockpit in their garage. And those ppl pay a lot of money to get all the displays etc. They’d probably think that this steering wheel display is a bargain. Then again they are often retired dentists or lawyers :P

Meh, writing at 2.30 am and not having an edit button in Opera sucks

I just got mine the other day. Nice! I hooked it up the night I got it, and using EK’s SLI-Pro Manager while running in iRacing, it was holding the completed lap time for about 10-15 seconds after completion – plenty of time to look at it after crossing the line.

I ran it for a bit in rFactor using the plugin, but to be honest, I didn’t pay attention. I suppose I can hook it up again tomorrow to verify whether it displays the laps, splits, or both.

Thanks jcchaconjr, would appreciate you doing that, it would be useful info.

These are the infos you can get in real time on left(speed) and right(time) digitis:

# SPEED Functions:
# 1. speed only,
# 2. Fuel : speed,
# 3. position : speed,
# 4. num lap : speed
# 5. Sector : speed,
# 6. Water temp : Oil Temp,
# 7. front tyres temp,
# 8. rear tyres temp,
# 9. front brakes temp,
# 10. rear brakes temp,
# 11. front tyres grip,
# 12. rear tyres grip,
#
# TIME Functions:
# 13. Current Lap Time,
# 14. Last Lap Time
# 15. Best Lap Time

# 19. Last Sector2
# 20. Best Sector1
# 21. Best Sector2
# 22. Session Elapsed Time
# 23. System Time
# 24. Engine RPM

You change it with switches. You can get these infos on additional leds:
# ignition (supersede all other with no led and ‘E’ displayed)
# shiftpoint
# speedlimiter
# low fuel
# TC
# ALB (abs)
# Green flag
# Yellow flag
# Red flag
# Overheating
# Damage
# PitReq and InPits
# Power SLI-PRO
# RevLimit

I own one and it is worth every € ;)

Dammmit!! ANd now it worth 110 eur, with all that features! The vido is kinda lack of details….very poor.

Yeah its definately worth the purchase. Still a little curious about how it displays the split times. I wouldnt want it to just show split times.
Much prefer it to be showing me the lap timer in real time then stopping for a few seconds at each sector to show the split.

If it does that, I’m in as soon as I have the readies which might take a while as Im still working on my car and just bought a new laptop.
But its on my shopping list.

F1Racer, software developer EK is very communicative, and he implements new ideas (if they are good) really fast, like one day or so. If you think something could be done just say on his forum, guy is genius! Leo’s new displays have the best customer support imaginable.

I can quite believe it mate. It’s very impressive.

F1Racer, I can confirm after trying it in both iRacing and rFactor Test/Practice modes that it holds the last completed lap time for 15 seconds when in the “Current Lap Time” mode described above.
