Pete_89t2 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Haven't really dug too deep into this, but I was wondering what extra hardware I would need to add perhaps another 4 analog inputs to my G4+ Fury for logging purposes? I'm assuming I'd need a box that can accept some # of additional analog channels and put that data on the CAN bus? Background is that my current install (FD RX7) already makes use of all the analog inputs available on the Fury, and I've been toying with the idea of adding 2x EGT sensors and perhaps EMAP sensors, and would like to capture that data in my logs.

Confused Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 This ECUMaster item is relatively small and cheap. https://www.ecumaster.com/products/can-switch-board/ However, the G4+ CANBUS is a bit limited for analog inputs - but if you just want to log them (and don't mind that the channel names might not be totally accurate), then this is a relatively cheap way to do it. However, don't think it'll do EGT directly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize I'd need a signal conditioner box to convert the typical EGT thermocouple outputs into a proportional 0-5VDC analog signal for the G4+ or ECUMaster to make use of.

Adamw Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 CAN analogs arent very useful in G4+. There are dedicated CAN EGT channels though. So I would suggest instead a CAN EGT amp. There are a few devices around that do both EGT & Analog inputs, here is one example: https://hv-electronics.myshopify.com/collections/top-sellers/products/hv-egt-can-module But be aware in the G4+, the generic CAN Analog channels can only be displayed in volts and cant be labelled/renamed. They cant be used to control auxes or virtual auxes. They can be logged and used as table axes only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_89t2 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Thanks, looks like I'll settle for just for the EGTs then, and look into a good CAN EGT amp that can do at least 2 EGT TC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
