Kestrel 5700 and LabRadar

[Charles H]

How can we link the blue tooth from the labradar to the kestrel? Program to have a barrel shot count log and record and integrate the environmental information and velocity of each shot. Anyone from applied Ballistics Intrested in perusing this idea?

They have not even unlocked the Bluetooth on the Lab Radar yet. We have discussed it, but first it needs to be activated and working.

New to this group, and reluctant to start a separate thread, so I'm going to hang my question on here:

Since this thread is about 6 years old, I'm wondering if Kestrel 5700x and Labradar chronograph will play nice together?

Labaradar chrono advertises Bluetooth built into it, so I'm wondering if it's possible to integrate the data from the chronograph into the 5700X, and have the velocity input used in calculations, and the results posted through the HUD?

Thanks

No. The Bluetooth function on the LabRadar is to connect to their app on Android and iOS.

Additionally you'd not typically be altering the velocity that frequently in the Kestrel where you'd need a BT connection to keep updating it.

People should refuse to buy any electronics that doesn't release an API.

To my knowledge of those only temp affects MV directly and it is quite easy to mark it up for a day.

And this is the temp of ammo, not ambient.

So is this link really THAT needed?

Just upkeep an excel file for all results, one sheet per cartridge, you just mark to the top row the day, temp, SD/ES and AVG and below you paste the velocities. You can even mark the POI and distance.

1 excel file per measurements gets heavy to lift any data from.

As of February 2023, they don't talk....

Interesting but not a real need whatsoever. Keep it simple is the best strategy.
