DL1 Connection Help

[tickedo]

I thought I had this working a while ago but no. So can someone tell me what to do. Ive got two wires from my ecu. 1 red wire (brake) and 1 black wire (throttle Full). The red wire goes from 0v - 11.5v and the Black wire goes from 0v - 4.2v. Do I connect these to the annologue inputs with the red going into input 5 (12v) and the black going into input 1 (5v).
I then go to vairiable manager and tick the boxes next to those inputs and change the names. Is this all I have to do to get the DL1 to sense these.


I hope your answer will just be a yes.

That will give you the actual analog voltage displayed on graphs.

If you are looking for some kind of 2-condition "on/off" indicator some additional work is required, but it's not very hard.

Yes its more an on / off im after especially the brake, so some help would be great.

Thanks

I'd start by reading up on Equations at http://www.race-technology.com/wiki/index.php/CustomTransformations/Equations. For example, if I wanted to know if VAR_xxxx was greater than 2 volts (as both of your examples would be when "turned on"), I would try something like

IF (VAR_xxxx > 2, 1, 0)

which ought to return "1" if the input is above 2 volts, or "0" if not.

I'll not guarantee that equation, since I have not tested it, but from what I see at http://www.race-technology.com/wiki/index.php/CustomTransformations/MathematicalFunctions it ought to work.

Now, the next step would be to decide where you want these results displayed. Graph? Track map? Blinking red lamp? The Knowledge Base at http://www.race-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Site/Search would help with those.
