Scoobyboost Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I am trying to find out if it is possible to connect a halltech 8 or 15 button can bus switch panel to a link g4+ Ecu, can anyone help with this on the link programming side of things?

Adamw Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Not directly to a G4+, you will need a PDM to apply the logic functions such as latch/toggle/count etc and control the LED's. It is planned to add direct CAN keypad support to G4X, but it is a while off yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 You could do something like this: https://www.micropdm.com/ It is a small CAN based controller which can interpret and add all the logic functionality to the standard blink marine keypads. The "PDM" has 7 low current outputs that can be connected to the ECU or directly to switch relays etc, it can send CAN messages to the ecu to turn things on/off without wiring and the buttons can be configured for various functions such as toggle/latch/flash etc. LED colours and functions can be configered too. Another option is the Toucan from JT Innovations. This is a small digital dash that has a virtual keypad on one screen as well as a couple of functions to chage "maps" etc. Another option is the Realdash on an Android head unit or similar, you can have "buttons" on the touch screen to switch things on/off in the ecu. The only CAN keypad I know of that could be used directly with the ecu is the HP Electronik one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
