Chris Vautier Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I want to replace the whole dash custer on my GTR, can I run two displays links of a G4? If this is possible...How hard would it be to invert one of the screens so the buttons will end up on the outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen Biggelaar Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hi Chris. This sounds so interesting I have to try it on the bench... I am going to bash it out to see if this will work, because honestly, no one has ever asked... And now I want to know On the inverted question, this may be more of an ask, as it will be software related. In saying that, it can't hurt to ask Watch this space... It may take a couple days.

Jurgen Biggelaar Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Ok... I can at least say I tried. The short and simple answer is; this cannot be done. Jurgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtech Motorsport Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 there are a few race dashes that will work directly off the link ecu rs232 output if you want something larger to display and some of these are road legal as well and would be cheaper/similar in pricing to two link displays Regards Dave [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Vautier Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Thanks Jurgen and Dave. I spoke to Walter at NZEFI today, and yeah, not possible. But you can run Aim and MoTeC dashes with the G4, So that might be an option if I can find one at the right price (SDL3's are about $3200!!)

Rod Smart Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 The problem with dual dash's would possibly be that as the processor sends out a signal, both dash's reply at the same time causing confusion, this would be caused by a addressing issue, as both dash's would in essence have the same address, any timing mismatch whatsoever and the setup fails. A possible software upgrade or new version if Link are interested maybe, that upon powerup, the dash waits a random time or scans the buss for another device with the same address and self-configures, or adds its serial number as a extended address then notifies the main controller of this address. Unfortunately, I cannot be accurate here as I don't know the software and the communication routines. Running other dash's (as stated above) may get around the addressing issue.
