AiM MyChron5 S GPS Kart Data Logger & Lap Timer

AiM MyChron5 S GPS Kart Data Logger & Lap Timer

The AiM MyChron5 S combines a GPS lap timer, configurable kart display, and internal data logger for drivers who want clear track information and post-session analysis without a separate lap-timing unit. It is a strong fit for karting and speedway applications, with the source listing also referencing bikes and boats.

The built-in GPS track database is designed to identify the circuit and magnetic-strip locations automatically. GPS data is recorded at 10 Hz alongside the other logged signals, providing lap times, split times, predictive lap times, and data for analysis.

Key features

• GPS lap timing: Internal track database with automatic track and magnetic-strip recognition is listed.
• Data logging: GPS and other available signals are recorded for post-session analysis.
• Display: Wider display with configurable pages, graphical resolution, and configurable multicolour backlight.
• Shift-kart support: Calculated gear number is listed for shift-kart applications.
• LEDs: Two configurable RGB alarm LEDs and five configurable RGB shift-light LEDs.
• Controls and housing: Metallic pushbuttons and a nylon body.
• Battery: Removable rechargeable lithium battery with approximately 10 hours of duration listed.
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi connection for data download, online measures, firmware updates, and parameter transfer is listed.
• Protection: IP65 waterproof rating is listed.
• Expansion: Fully compatible with MyChron4 add-ons except the M4 Steering Wheel, according to the source record.

Display, alarms, and setup

Configure the MyChron5 S pages to show the information that matters during a session, using digits or graphical bars. The ambient light sensor adjusts display brightness for changing conditions. Shift lights can be configured by gear with selectable LED colours and RPM thresholds, while alarm behaviour can be configured by condition, colour, flash frequency, and switch-off criteria.

For shift-kart use, confirm the available RPM, gear, and related channels from the actual installation. The product record does not confirm every sensor, cable, add-on, or data channel included with this listing, so check the package contents and required accessories before ordering.

The supplied product record describes GPS acquisition at 10 Hz and approximately 10 hours of battery duration. Treat both as source-listed figures and confirm current AiM documentation for the intended use.

MyChron5 S setup checks

• Confirm the kart discipline, engine type, and whether the installation is for a direct-drive or shift kart.
• Confirm the required MyChron4 add-ons, cables, sensors, and battery charger before ordering.
• Set the correct track, GPS, lap-timing, display, shift-light, and alarm configuration before testing.
• Use Wi-Fi or the supported data-transfer method to download data and verify the logger configuration.
• Secure the unit and route any connected wiring away from heat, abrasion, moisture, and moving components.
• Check the lap timing and displayed values against a known reference before competition use.
