Sleeper Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi, Would it be possible to setup the ecu to send custom can bus data in any other then the standard 16 bit width? ( as seen in the test calculator ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Burnett Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 you can custom tailor the width between 1 and 16 bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper Posted June 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Ok, thanks. Is there any limitations to running all the data in 8 bits? ( Struggling to get compound msg to work with a plex dash, and would like more then 4 different channels in one stream. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 8 bits gives you 255 possible “numbers”. So things like temperatures where you just want say -50 to 150C will be fine as 8 bits. Channels like Lambda for instance where you want a resolution of 0.01 or 0.001 however will need more bits to allow enough range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper Posted June 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Ok, Thanks. You don`t happen to have some info on how to set up more then one frame within the same stream when sending data to a plex display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Have you read the pages under this category: https://www.plex-tuning.com/instructions/SDM_Instructions/link_g4_.htm It shows you how to add another stream on top of the generic dash stream or how to make the generic stream editable.

Sleeper Posted June 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Yes, and it works just fine doing it like that, but the problem is that it only explains how to do it with one stream-frame. And when sending it as a 16 bit data stream, it`s not room for more then 4 different channels. But i need add a few more. And struggling a bit getting it to work with several frames within the same stream. I guess i could just do it the easy way and just keep adding a new user stream, but i would rather try to get it working with several frames instead.

Adamw Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 I have never used one of their displays but Im happy to take a look. Attach your ECU and dash config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeper Posted June 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Got it working now. Was just a matter of setting up the ID position and id correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
