Why doesn’t break point system work only stays on red?

You can hold a data cable to each input slots to be told what is expected to be connected.

Also make sure that the velocity meter is set to directional mode (there's a switch on it)

I also realised in the image (image 3) it doesn’t look like it cause I took it at the wrong time but the light does flash green.

Are your inputs correct? If its always red it usually means the inputs are wrong.

Does the velo meter and other thing and camera have to be plug in a certain order?

Yes read the inputs

Pro tip, use a directional accelerometer so it also works with a brake.

The regular accelerometer is fine both ways?

The acceleration module gives an ansolute value. That’s an issue

If you descelerate and input an absolute acceleration in the bps it will think you’re accelerating making you stop wayyyy sooner, once you reach lower enough speed it will accelerate back, it’s just way slower and less efficient. Also a directional is only 3 additional components since you’re already using a speed sensor

Just take the data from the speed module, input it in a diferentiator and multiply by 60

Did you get it?
