LapMind Help

Your first drive

Set up local telemetry, hear the engineer and review your first saved Session.

0.7.2-beta37 · code95 · Development candidate, not released Public Beta. Physical PS5/PS5 Pro and sustained GT7 checks remain open.

Where: Start on Drive; use the settings icon to configure your PlayStation and local voice.

How to use it

  1. Use Android 8 or newer for the local core. Optional Discord Companion needs Android 10 or newer on an arm64 device, internet access and a private Discord bot. The core needs GT7 on PlayStation and a reachable local network, not a LapMind account or PC.
  2. This manual describes 0.7.2-beta37 / code95, an unreleased development candidate. Install only a trusted project-supplied Android package. Follow Android’s installer prompts; do not obtain an unofficial package or share signing/security credentials.
  3. Put the phone/tablet and PlayStation on the same reachable LAN. Ethernet on the console and Wi-Fi on the phone can work together. Avoid guest networks that isolate devices.
  4. Open Settings → PlayStation, add the console’s current IPv4 address and choose Connect. The first connection starts the normal driving flow; there is no second START required for that action.
  5. In Race engineer & alerts → Voice & sound, use Preview voice. Enter a race, practice or Time Trial in GT7. Waiting for GT7 is different from actual telemetry being received.
  6. Complete eligible laps. Open Sessions, select the saved Session and choose Open in LAB when detailed lap data is available.
  7. LapMind handles race/session boundaries automatically. Use FINISH when you are done driving; use Fully close LapMind to stop all active LapMind services.

Options and defaults

This workflow uses the explicit actions described above; it introduces no additional saved setting or automatic default.

Operating principle and expected output

LapMind supports HUD-off driving by speaking selected, supported facts. It is deliberately quiet; it does not replace GT7 or invent missing data. Review and configuration belong before or after driving.

When output is absent or limited

A successful install or local voice preview does not validate GT7 reception or PS5 headset audio. Current-candidate PS5/PS5 Pro recheck and 30–60-minute live GT7/performance observation remain open. Track LAB is experimental.
