CANBUS OIL Temp from AN8


markhellier

Recommended Posts

I am using AN8 to get Oil Temperature instead of a temp channel. This is because I'm sharing the sensor with a gauge, and the anvolt can have ext pull-up.

I have a AIM Dash setup using the Generic Dash Stream. This is working great except The oil Temperature being sent is not the one I'm using.

does anyone have the Canbus stream setup file for the generic dash config so i can change just the oil temperature? or any other ideas?

Thanks

 

Mark.

this info taken from the Link help file :-

 

The 'Transmit Generic Dash' mode sends out a range of common parameters, it is useful for dashes that are able to have a custom configuration. The parameters that are sent are in the table below.

 

Setting up the Link ECU:

1. Open the CAN Setup window (PCLink > ECU Controls > CAN Setup)
2. Select the CAN module to be used
3. Set the Mode to 'User Defined'.
4. Configure the Bit Rate to match what the dash requires.
5. Select a spare CAN channel.
6. Select 'Transmit Generic Dash' from the Mode drop-down menu.
7. Set the CAN ID to match what the dash expects.
8. Set the Transmit Rate to 20Hz or what the dash expects.
9. Make sure no other CAN channels are configured on the same CAN ID as the Generic Dash channel.
10. Click Apply and then OK.
11. Make sure a Store (F4) is performed.

 

Setting up the Generic Dash:

1. The dash will need to be configured to match the data layout in the tables below.

 

All parameters are sent as 16 bit unsigned numbers, with low byte first.  Some parameters must be multiplied or offset (constant value added) to get the correct calibrated value.  The limits flags are sent through as a bit field (described below).

Thanks Richard,

i have tried making the stream manually(from help file)  But I’m not understanding the first 2 “words” in each frame. Couldn’t get it to work with my manually created stream. Hoping someone had a file I could import that was the equivalent of the preset stream.

Hi Mark,

I suspect the problem is your oil temp sensor being on a AV input is not actually assigned to the "oil temp" parameter but rather a "GP Temp" parameter that is not sent in the standard generic dash stream.  Attached below is a configurable version of the generic dash stream where I have replaced "oil temp" with AN 8 - Oil temp.

MarkHellier.lcs

 

For any others that want it I will also attach an un-modified configurable generic dash stream.

Thanks Adam,

That worked perfectly I had the byte order wrong. The generic file will be useful for anyone who has the generic dash working over can, but want to change a couple of fields.

Great stuff.

I'm using the Aim Solo2 DL to datalog. this now is setup how I'd like.

Thanks.
