GPS & IMU data for autocross & track days

Every epoch
counts.

You know how a good run feels.
We’re building a way to see where the time went.

Epoch Apex

The run is short.
There’s a lot to learn.

Epoch Apex is our first GPS and IMU data logger, now in development for autocross and track days. We’re bringing speed and vehicle motion into the same log, so you can see your pace and understand how the car responds.

Speed and motion, together.

Record position, speed, and time, with a GPS target of 25 samples a second using GPS and Galileo. A planned 9-DOF IMU will add acceleration and rotation data to show what the car is doing under braking and through corners.

Take another look.

Compare speed with IMU data to see where you brake, turn, and accelerate. Export the session over USB and review the same log on your phone, tablet, or the web when you’re back in the paddock.

From the driver’s seat

See the difference.
While you drive.

A live lap delta shows how far ahead or behind you are compared with your best lap of the session. We’re developing this view for a tablet connected over Bluetooth, with USB serial planned for higher-speed updates.

The people behind Epoch

Two test engineers.
One project of our own.

We’re based in Ohio, with years of experience in vehicle testing and data acquisition. Now we’re building a logger for autocross and track days.

Our story

Still in the garage

Be here for
the first run.

We’re in the early stages of prototyping Epoch Apex and plan to release a limited number of beta units to trusted testers. In return, we’ll ask them to put the hardware through rigorous testing and share detailed feedback on what works and what needs fixing.

Leave your email and we’ll let you know when hardware is available.
