What other Analog to CAN converters than the Gaugeart Analog to CAN converter works with the G4+ ?

A friend have programmed an Arduino Micro for us, so we will use that to run the shift light instead.

We have an old G3 upgraded to G4 and want to be able to have different rpm on the shift light on every gear. This function does not exist on this old ECU like it does on the G4+ We have a switch for every gear, can we connect a digital input for every gear and then use 5 outputs wired to the same shift light ? Will this work ? Thanks.

Thanks Scott.

Aahh, ok now I understand how this works . So what we would need is to have labels other than an v1, v2 etc... Pressure, Temperature for example or preferrably to make your own labels.

Yes it's voltage being logged with the CAN converter. Did you switch on HD on the video?

Ok, so my question obviously came out wrong. IF I connect for example a pressure sensor 150psi I get a 0-5v signal. I don't watt Link to show 0-5v, I want it to show 0-150psi. This is not possible right now when loggning analog inputs with the gaugeart converter?

So now I have the new gaugeART Analog to CAN Converter in the car and working, when will we be able to choose Cal Tables like with the onboard Analog Inputs to get it to show something more interesting than voltage? Label change would also be very nice.

So I have installed the Analog to CAN Converter from gaugeART and started testing a bit. Here's a vid testing it with 1-5v signal from electronic pressure regulators at 50% duty cycle. https://youtu.be/ZwKQ6xWes_Y

Thanks Scott. Had these lying around for quite some years now with the purpose to use them for boost control . Not until now I have had a converter so yes I think we are going to test it for boost control.

So I have this PWM to 0-10v module connected to my G4+ to drive an Electric Pressure Regulator Had some issues not getting 10v on the output, it was low battery voltage so that was an easy fix Anyway, here's a little test video: Test Video: https://youtu.be/yEZeBy3uhlc Display on regulator showing PSI

Sounds promising ! Please let us know as soon it's confirmed that it works.

I am using the KMS EGT Can module, why wouldn't this analog input box work ?

I found this: http://gaugeart.com/product/gaugeart-analog-to-can-converter/ Can I set this up with the Link G4+ and if so how do I do it? Or are there other cheap Analog to Can converters that will work ?

Ok, thanks.

I am thinking about using 4 Ecotrons ALM-LSU ADV lambdas with pre turbo sensors via the can bus for logging purpose and still use my existing analog input Lambda as the primary Lambda 1 tuning sensor. Is this possible and how do I configure this?

Dave, I have now also talked to the guy developing it. Sounds promising. The logging part is very important in a drag car.

Unfortunately if there will be no possibility to log more parameters in at least 100hz I'm leaving the Link Ecu for a competitors Ecu.

So everything can be pc logged in 40Hz and only 25 to ecu with 100Hz. What is limiting? I would really like to here about what this external thing is and if it can log 50 or more in 100 Hz ? Otherwise I'm likely to leave the Link Ecu for a competitors ECU wich can log a huge amount of parameters.

Am I reading it right that with the new Thunder ECU that has all these new extra inputs you still can log only 25 parameters ?

With the old Link G4 I could log 65 parameters at 50hz for 13 minutes. With the G4+ / Vipec i88 I can choose to log everything in 0.5Hz if I want and still only log 25 parameters. Is it totally out of the question making changes to the firmware/software to be able to log more parameters but for a shorter time? In drag racing we want to log a lot of things, 25 is not enough. I don't want to spend lots of money on a separate logger, there are other ecus on the market with the possibility to log a lot of parameters.

Yes, now you can only put + or minus percentage on each gear. I was thinking it would be nice to have a boost table for each gear. So one could set the axis like: boost vs timer or boost vs rpm for example. Like this for example:

I would like to choose launch control active/inactive as a condition in virtual aux. More timers. To be able to log more than 25 parameters. Ramping of boost in gear boost table.    Â

I don't think that will work as we want. I would wish to be able to choose launch control active/inactive as condition in future firmware of the g4+ / vipec.

We can't get the launch control rpm to work on the i88 (latest firmware) as it did on my old G4 extreme. We have tried many settings but when the boost rises the rpm rises. This is how the log looks: (launch rpm set at 6000) http://www.impellerheadz.com/Launchtest1.jpg http://www.impellerheadz.com/Launchtest2.jpg http://www.impellerheadz.com/Launchtest3.jpg I logged some more today with a signal generator hooked up to the triggers to log without starting the engine: (more parameters logged, launch rpm set at 5000) http://www.impellerheadz.com/launchtestsignalgen.jpg How can I see if the fuelcut is working properly on both primary and secondary injectors? We have the same settings as we did on the G4 box but something is different as we can't get it to work as good as it did. We have tried many different settings also but it never holds the rpm as it should and did with the G4.
