Camal Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hey guys how can I output gear position to a 6 wire digital gauge using the link g4+ extreme each wire is labeled per gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 You would need 6 aux outputs to do that, do you have 6 spare? Camal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Something like below. I've only done 3 as an example but it should be clear enough if you look at these. Camal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hi, I stumbled across this thread while searching the forum for a way in which I could create a display showing the current gear selected - I have recently upgraded my Cobra replica kit car from the original RV8 and Cosworth T5 to a Toyota 1UZ and BMW GS6-53DZ 6 speed gearbox and am finding it hard to keep track of which gear I am in on track days, with embarrassing consequences. Unfortunately I don't have 6 unused Aux Outputs on my Link Storm but I do have 3. My days studying Boolean algebra finally proved of use when I realised that by assigning the three available Aux Outputs to represent binary digits I could then use the three conditions to select the outputs to show the numbers 0 - 7 in binary. This is hard to explain but hopefully will be clear from the tables below - Aux # Function Label Switch Logic Sw Cond 1 Gear = Sw Cond 2 Gear = Sw Cond 3 Gear = 6 GP Output Bit One Cond 1 OR 2 OR 3 Gear = 1 Gear = 3 Gear = 5 7 GP Output Bit Two Cond 1 OR 2 OR 3 Gear = 2 Gear = 3 Gear = 6 8 GP Output Bit Four Cond 1 OR 2 OR 3 Gear = 4 Gear = 5 Gear = 6 My logic says that the outputs of Aux 6, 7 & 8 for the various gears will (should?) be as below - Gear # Aux 8Bit Four Aux 7Bit Two Aux 6Bit One 1 0 0 1 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 1 4 1 0 0 5 1 0 1 6 1 1 0 All that would be required (?) would be a 7 Segment display with a binary input! My question is has anyone done this or can anyone say why it would not work? Regards, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 It should work as you expect. You can get 7 segment BCD drivers such as 4511 that would handle the display side. Another option is our CAN gauge, then you can display anything you want as well as alarms etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
