Adding obd data onto gopro footage
Discussion
I have a gopro hd which has wifi, and a bluetooth obd dongle. What's the best way to add rpm data etc onto incar video.
I have tried unsuccessfully to got the bluetooth to communicate with my ipad and iPhone , but it works on sons andriod tablet running "torque".
Am I missing anything with ios and bluetooth? I was hoping to have the gopro as a wifi hub and the obd data from the bluetooth, but this looks like a non starter?

Bluetooth ODB readers won't work with Apple devices due to the bluetooth stack being locked/hinky (technical moi?)
Does it need to be a live telemetry overlay or could it be a post process overlay?
Although a wireless/usb ODB reader would work with the iPhone and then you can just use Harrys Laptimer and/or with either the apple device or an android device (it's available on both now).
If you really want to overlay onto GoPro footage you could record the footage on the GoPro while recording the telemetry on the iPhone/Android device with the camera blanked off and then overlay that post process onto the GoPro footage with something like Adobe Premiere or similar.

Just in addition, albeit not free: http://www.dashware.net/
I know Torque can be set to just data log to a file possibly Harrys Laptimer can too, that'd take care of the whole post overlaying process and allow you to use the GoPro.

Racechrono does it all internally.
Not sure of it's functionality on iPhone but worked well on Android.
Uploaded GoPro footage to the phone, added overlay and adjusted sync in the app, exported, job done. This was back in 2014 as well.
I think it has inputs for OBD readers as well, data will be slow though.
Also worth getting a 10Hz GPS receiver.
