[CD-7 and Link g4+]

Hey Adam,

I have tried both ways, with the warning messages and with the alarm messages cant seem to figure it out. doesn't seen to matter. BTW there is a simulator in the new dash design 2.

[CD-7 and Link g4+]

Hey all, I am having a tough time understanding the alarms page on this CD-7, Warning messages work fine. I am having issue getting the Alarms and screen to come up, seems to be taking a while and I am also having issues with the messages flickering instead of blinking once per second or twice per second.

I have attached the layout if anyone want to point me in the right direction.

Hey Adam,

Should I just set to x1 scaler?

 

Thanks Mike-

Hello all I just got my cd-7 all up and going and I am using the default layout and all is working find but everything is in metric. I have used the convert options in the Dash design to convert some of the numbers to imperial but the numbers all all weird and not even close to correct. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

 

using the Generic CAN setup BTW.

 

Thank you all!

The round port next to the tuning port (without the red o-ring) is the CAN port.  You need the mating 6pin connector.  It is an Amphenol LTW connector, part number AU-06BFFA-LL7001, you will find one at Mouser, Digikey, RS Components etc.

Pinout as follows:

do I actually got this all going and working. I found the connector from an online, I think from mouser or something and made a cable out of CAT 5. I got the code all going and now I just need to get the wiring in order.

 Hey Guy I am just now getting back to this and working on this car some. Can I flash the firmware with the Link g4 Software and working the same?

 

and Grant the connection speed seems to be quite laggy. sometimes 10 sec for values to start showing real time, just really wanting to make sure this might not be causing any other issues.

Tell us what ECU you have and I will tell you what you need to connect to CAN.

Thanks - I've put that part of it far down the list of priorities (although actually may not be too hard using a bit mask after a quick google) as I have decided I am more worried about basic functionality and what I think I've learned so far is:

- at higher bit rates, I think the buffer on the can shield might be overflowing. It definitely misses frames

- easy solution is sending only what I want to know and using 125kbps bit rate. I don't need all 39 items in the generic dash plus another 5-10 "nice to have", so it will be much easier if I just create a custom stream with the ~15 items I really want. I just had it in my head it would be nice to have code someone else could just grab, compile and go with minimal config in PCLink required

Hey CamB,

can you do me a favor. I am having a bit of trouble getting the code I have working.

I am also trying to purchase a can bus cable to connect to my ECU and can't seem to find one, can you point me in the right direction to purchase one of these?

can you post up your complete code or zip it and upload somewhere and i can check it for you

Hey Paul,

here is the code I am using.When you get a chance let me know what you see or think.

[PClink software on a Vi-pec unit]

I have been trying to figure out if the link software will work with the Vi-pec ECU. I like the layout of the PClink software better and the color and background is a little easier on the eyes "out of the box". I have got it to connect but the latency is pretty bad. does anyone know the steps would be required to correct this, I.E. Firmware update/change or anything else like that.

Thanks you!

added a button to flip between pages. code also updated.

 

was initially going to add max and min value display on a double click but since i was lazy and didn't solder a small capasitor in the switch i get lots of noise and had to filter it in the interrupt handler to make the button behave better.

 

will think of a way to implement the display for min and max also.

 

the button is wired between digital pin 3 and ground.

sorry to dig this up from its grave. I have looked at this code and tried to get a page flip to work. after not working I checked out the code and I dont see where the page flip would be in code. I have tried to place the code but I am not sure where it should go. anyone have any ideas on this? I believe it should go some where around here.

 

void loop() {
  for(int i=0;i<NR_OF_CHANNELS;i++ )  read_channel();
  if (digitalRead(UP)(millis()-500 > last_click  && flip_request )
  {
    current+=4;
    if (current > NR_OF_CHANNELS - 4) current=0;
    last_click = millis();
    flip_request = 0;
}
flip_request = 0;
display_page();
print_to_serial();
delay(10);
}

 

can someone correct me if I am wrong or point me in the right direction.

Thanks guys!

I know this post is old. Any one here interested in showing their code? I just want to look at the interfaces and a overall board design so I can get a little feel for this. I am doing some basic with this but still have some stuff to do and other things.
