By popular request, we’ve added a string potentiometer sensor to our catalog of sensors. This sensor is commonly used to measure steering angle – see our original blog post about how to set up a steering angle sensor in 30 minutes. However, It’s not just for steering angles – you can also use it for…

Plug and Play ALL THE THINGS
Our plug and play harness system lets you easily connect devices and sensors to your RaceCapture or PodiumConnect system, without the need to splice, crimp, or heat-shrink connections. Multiple-length cables lets you build a harness that perfectly matches your installation needs, for a simple, reliable, and frustration-free experience! Now we’ve fully documented it in one…
Plug and Play CAN bus networks!
The new RaceCapture/Pro, RaceCapture/Track, and PodiumConnect systems also introduces our new plug and play ecosystem. Now, it’s super easy to connect your system to CAN bus sensors and devices, without any soldering, crimping, splicing, or heat shrink tubing. It all just plugs together! What’s CAN bus? How about what it’s not? Before CAN bus, each…
AnalogX and a new Plug and play harness ecosystem!

Good news. Stock is available for the 150 bar / 2175 PSI pressure sensors, and they’re available exclusively via our dealer network! The 150 bar sensor is ideal for measuring high pressure fluids such as brake pressure or similar. Learn more
New Analog Preset for Bosch PST-F1 combination Pressure and temperature sensor
Good news, we now have a preset for the great 2-in-on combination sensor by Bosch. The PST-F1 sensor combines a 0-10 bar pressure sensor with a 140C capable temperature sensor in one body. This sensor is typically used for oil and fuel media, but could be used for coolant as well. We have individual presets…
A big new 2020
Big things are coming for RaceCapture and Podium – both software and hardware. Here’s a sampling of what to expect in Q1 2020. Some of these will be delivered in the coming weeks, so brace yourselves! RaceCapture app 2.0 – all about the analysis Chances are you saw the big news about the new Podium…
New Product – Linear temperature Sensor
Our new linear temperature sensor requires no pull-up resistor and has a simple 10mV/C temperature response, great for CAN bus mapping as well as direct sensor integration. Order through our dealer network You can use the convenient preset for RaceCapture/Pro inputs – just 3 wires and you’re set. If you’re using AnalogX, use the conversion…
An accurate, linear output temperature sensor for about $10?
At Autosport Labs, we like sensors with a predictable, accurate, and linear output. Even though we can map the temperature curve of any sensor, adding enough smarts to sensors to provide linearity and accuracy is quite appealing. When the sensor can be designed as a powered, active sensor, you can also eliminate external components like the pullup resistors seen in…
How to add a coolant pressure sensor and avoid a rookie mistake
Know before you overheat, not when you’re overheating Installing a coolant pressure sensor gives you the advance warning you need to handle a coolant pressure leak and avoid a time consuming failure, or worse – a catastrophic failure like a blown head gasket that will send you and your race team packing and home early. Plus, you’ll…
