Product Information

Full details

This AiM steering angle sensor is designed for kart racers using AiM MyChron dash loggers (MyChron4, 5, and 6) to precisely measure and record steering input. Its key benefit is enabling drivers to analyze steering performance corner by corner, identifying areas for improvement to gain time. A potential caveat is that it may require a separate patch lead for connection to the MyChron expansion box.

FAQs

Which AiM MyChron units is this sensor compatible with?

This steering angle sensor is compatible with all AiM MyChron kart dash and data loggers, including MyChron4, MyChron5, and MyChron6 models.

Does the sensor come with the patch lead?

The sensor is supplied either with or without the patch lead required to connect it to the MyChron expansion box. Please check the product listing for the specific version you are purchasing.

How is the steering angle measured?

The sensor uses a rotating potentiometer (belt type) to measure the angular displacement of the steering wheel.

Can I use this sensor with other data loggers?

No, this sensor is specifically designed for use with AiM MyChron dash and data loggers.

What kind of analysis can I do with this data?

You can analyze steering input consistency, identify oversteer or understeer at different points in a corner, and optimize steering application for faster lap times and better corner exits.

How do I mount the sensor?

The sensor is typically mounted to the steering shaft. Secure mounting and correct alignment are crucial for accurate readings. Refer to your MyChron installation guide for detailed instructions.

Troubleshooting

No steering data is being recorded.

Verify the sensor is securely connected to the expansion box and that the correct patch lead is used. Check the sensor's configuration within the MyChron software. Ensure the sensor itself is not physically damaged.

Steering data appears erratic or noisy.

Check for any physical obstructions or loose connections at the sensor mounting point or on the steering shaft. Ensure the sensor is properly aligned. Clean the sensor area if there is visible dirt or debris.

Sensor not detected by MyChron unit.

Confirm compatibility with your specific MyChron model. Ensure the patch lead (if used) is correctly installed and functioning. Try a different expansion port if available.

  • Provides detailed steering input data for performance tuning.
  • Enhances understanding of driver inputs on track.
  • Compatible with multiple MyChron generations.
  • Helps identify inconsistencies in steering technique.
  • Compact design suitable for kart applications.

Cons

  • May require an additional patch lead for connection.
  • Installation requires basic understanding of sensor mounting.
  • Data requires analysis software to derive full benefit.
  • Potentiometer-based sensors can be sensitive to dirt/debris over time.
  • Not compatible with data loggers other than AiM MyChron series.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This sensor is compatible with all AiM MyChron kart dash and data loggers, including MyChron4, MyChron5, and MyChron6 models (both single and 2-temperature versions).

Setup: The sensor is typically mounted to the steering shaft. Ensure it is securely fastened and aligned correctly. Connection to the MyChron data logger is made via the expansion box, using the appropriate patch lead if required. Refer to your MyChron unit's manual for specific wiring diagrams and sensor configuration within the software.

Care: Keep the sensor clean and free from excessive dirt, dust, or moisture. Periodically inspect the belt or rotating mechanism for any signs of wear or obstruction. Gentle cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth is recommended if necessary. Avoid using solvents or high-pressure cleaning methods.
