Methods and apparatus for suspension set up

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed that assist a user in performing proper setup of a vehicle suspension. A user may utilize a device equipped with an image sensor to assist the user in proper setup of a vehicle suspension. The device executes an application that prompts the user for input and instructs the user to perform a number of steps for adjusting the suspension components. In one embodiment, the application does not communicate with sensors on the vehicle. In another embodiment, the application may communicate with various sensors located on the vehicle to provide feedback to the device during the setup routine. In one embodiment, the device may analyze a digital image of a suspension component to provide feedback about a physical characteristic of the component.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform steps for adjusting a suspension component of a vehicle, the steps comprising:
receiving a digital image of the suspension component comprising:
a plurality of pixels associated with a shaft of the suspension component; andan indicator member positioned to indicate a level of sag of the suspension component under a load; analyzing the digital image to determine a location of the indicator member on the shaft of the suspension component; and determining an adjustment to the suspension component based on the location of the indicator member.
