CAN Output

Updated on Mar 4, 2026

The VBOX Micro has a CAN output which is present on the 5-way COMS connector.

This is the Racelogic standard VBOX output, ie. Starting at 0x301.

Channel definitions are available here.

Data format: Motorola

  1. If Satellites in view < 3 then only Identifier 0x301 transmitted and bytes 2 to 8 are set to 0x00.
  2. Time since midnight. This is a count of 10 ms intervals since midnight UTC. (5383690 = 53836.90 seconds since midnight or 14 hours, 57 minutes and 16.90 seconds).
  3. Position, Latitude in minutes * 100_000 (311924579 = 51 Degrees, 59.24579 Minutes North). This is a true 32 bit signed integer, North being positive.
  4. Position, Longitude in minutes * 100_000 (11882246 = 1 Degrees, 58.82246 Minutes West). This is a true 32 bit signed integer, West being positive.
  5. Velocity, 0.01 kts per bit.
  6. Heading, 0.01° per bit.
  7. Altitude above mean sea level based on the WGS 84 model of the earth, 0.01 m per bit, signed.
  8. Vertical Velocity, 0.01 m/s per bit, signed.
  9. % space used on memory card.
  10. Status. 8 bit unsigned char. Bit 3 = File Open.
  11. Status. 8 bit unsigned integer. Bit 6 = Eastern hemisphere (0=West, 1= East). Bit 7 = Southern hemisphere (0=North, 1=South).
  12. Longitudinal Acceleration, 0.01 g per bit, signed.
  13. Lateral Acceleration, 0.01 g per bit, signed.
  14. Distance travelled in meters since VBOX reset.
