If keeping cost down is important, then look into Autosport labs.
Pretty decent capability and data analysis but you need to get down and dirty with programming and setup. You can run it on virtually any tablet or phone.

That looks like great bang for buck. Do you have one?

Like the Raspberry Pi option.

Yes, I have a Race Capture MK1 and dedicated oil pressure sensors with the Accusump. The rest of the parameters I log through the OBD2 adapter on canbus. If youd like more details I have documented almost everything. The new RC MK2 can now run shift lights and sync video cams over canbus and Wi-Fi.

Here's a screenshot from Circuit Tools, the analysis program for VBox. Very simple to use, pull the SD card and load. I really like the compare lap feature for learning. You can also build custom dash scenes, I made the on in the photo to look like a 986 dash.

I know what a Raspberry Pi is, but tell me more about using it as data logger.

How to you connect all the sensors?

What software do you use?

Thanks,

Greg

They have a version of their RaceCapture App for Raspberry Pi. In fact they seem to support just about any OS for their software.

The logger is separate hardware.

I'm just a geek.

For anyone else who's interested, I found this information on the product. The company calls it "experimental" at this point.

RaceCapture on Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi does not do the actual data capture. You still have to buy their proprietary black box to connect all the sensors and record the data. The Raspberry Pi just runs an app that provides the display of data on a touchscreen.

There's a 7" touchscreen you can mount as a dash for $69 + $25 for the case. The Pi 3 is $35. The RaceCapture/Pro is $600 or the RaceCapture/Track is $400, both with GPS.
