Harry buscema Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 I’m using a evolink 4-8 and trying to hook switches up to DI 5-6-10 which are all next to each other, DI 5 works fine and outputs 12v with the settings pullup- ON / On level - low but I’ve wired DI 6 - 10 the same as 5 but can’t seem to get a 12v out to the switch, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 DI 6 has a pull-down on it to work with the factory AC switch. DI10 should work provided you have a V1.6 or later bottom board. The non-ethrottle boards didnt have DI10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see I see, any recommendations of which ports I can use for another 2 on-off switch’s?, I have a non-e throttle board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 You likely have DI7/8/9/10 on the expansion connectors. DI6 can be used but it would 12V from the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing a 10v output on the cable but Di 8 isn’t being activated when the cable is grounded. Any thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 That should work. So you are just touching the DI8 and ground wire on the expansion loom together? What function is the DI set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it set as just clutch switch, yep just holding to a ground bolt on the car to test it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 I would bridge direct to the ground pin in the expansion connector with a paperclip or similar to rule out the ground and wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Adam, I’ve tryed your suggestion, I’ve linked photos of what the connecter looks like, so I’ve connected brown to green and di8 still shows as off, never goes active, I’ve placed a multimeter in between and it down 9.7v so it’s definitely grounding on the green cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 If you've got the same function assigned to two pins things can get a bit weird when you're looking at the result. So, if you're trying to use DI8, change DI7 to a different function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ferguson Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 You might want the active edge to be falling so it wil turn on as the switch is activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry buscema Posted July 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yep thanks for all the help, having multiple clutch switches ment that Di 7 wouldn’t work, i couldn’t get Di 8 to work at all no mater what I tryed, ended up switching to Di 10 which worked as intended, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
