  1. I've found a few posts around the internet that agree that it's like a windscreen wiper motor. It does seem to be able to accurately hit open, 75, 50 and closed without being sequential when using the smart box and the app. I might need to play a bit with a multi meter and see what's happening on the wires. I intend to make that same point with Xforce around 15765 and see if they can't be persuaded to support it. Would be much nicer to use their box/app to do the job than try and recreate part of the functionality in the ecu
  2. @Adamw how feasible do you think it would be to control the varex direct via the ecu. I tend to think controlling the butterfly based on boost would work pretty well. I was just researching and came across the haltech dcmd module which looks like it would help but not sure if that could be made to work with a link ecu. Xforce pretty much confirmed that iso 15765 isn't currently supported but are getting back to me about if that might change. Shame when I spent around 500 on the smartbox.
  3. I have already reached out to them. I'll see what they say
  4. I know this isn't a G4X issue specifically but I wanted to ask here as there is a bunch of smart people likely to have experience with similar. My issue is around ODB2 connectivity between a OBD2 port I have wired to CAN1 on my G4X and an Xforce Smart box that can control a Varex muffler. My car is a 1999 WRX with no factory OBD2. I have a G4X plugin ECU. I have an OBD2 connector wired directly to the can hi/lo coming from a CAN-F connector connected to the CAN1 header on the ECU along with a Seed Can Analyzer. This setup works fine with a bluetooth OBD2 dongle. I can see rpm, boost car speed etc fine on the Torque app. I can also run realdash fine via the seed can analyzer. When I plug the Varex ssmartbox in I get no connection. If I plug the same setup into my foresters factory OBD2 port it connects up fine. The same bluetooth dongle also works in the forester with the Torque app. I have tried 500 and 250 kbs setting for the can bus. Does anyone have any suggestions in how to troubleshoot this? To me it seems the port I wired in works fine as demonstrated with the bluetooth dongle. The Varex system works fine in the forester. I'm not sure what the issue might be or what I can do to fix it? Could the length of the varex OBD2 cable combined with my short lengths of untwisted wires (a few centimetres) be causing issues that a dongle with no wire length would not experience?
  5. Hi, Thanks for that. I have MGP (converted to PSI) and ect wgate trim working OK. IAT ign trim seems a bit wonky. What are the ranges and units of measure for ect wgate trim and iat ign trim? I just want to set an indicator to show when they are in effect. I'm not so intersted in the values but knowing the range and units might help verifying the values I see in Realdash
  6. Can anyone help me out with setting up my CAN user stream. I have ethanol % working, but am struggling to get other data streams added. I'd like to add MGP, ECT Wgate Trim % and IAT Ignition Trim %. I'm stuggling to determine the width of each stream on the ECU side which makes getting the Realdash xml right difficult. With the attached settings I get 80% ethanol displayed which matches what I see in PCLink. The MGP seems to display something above 200 which is obviously wrong. I'm pretty sure the frame is wrong completely Is MGP the best value to watch for boost pressure? It seems to correlate to what my physical boost gauge displays, and that seem to line up with the boost that my tune is setup with link_ecu_short-mgp.xml
  7. OK, the reset may have been it. I got it working now on my mobile via usb2go cable and seems to be working great. Haven't had success yet on the laptop, but don't need it there as I was just trying it as a test. I'll probably move to using an android headunit now I know it works. Now to find or create a dashboard that has the stuff I want to see. Thanks so much Adam

  9. Hi, I'm wondering if any of you can help me out? I have a G4X plugin running my '99 WRX. My mechanic has wired in the seeed CAN analyser to CAN 1 for me using the link CAN pigtail and the CANF plug. It still has the jumper installed which I believe indicates if is terminating the CAN bus. It is the only device on CAN 1. I have followed the video from this thread (https://www.dropbox.com/s/frkb559eput9qov/Screenshot 2020-09-18 at 12.59.40.png?dl=0) If I go to CAN monitor in realdash I just get a failed to connect message. I have tried this on my laptop and on my Samsung Galaxy S20+ using a USB2GO adapter. At this point I am wondering if my Seeed CAN analyser is faulty or the wiring is bad. How would you best go about confirming these things. Is there another way to confirm the Seeed CAN device is operating as required?
