Akane Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi there, I'm quite new to this, my apologies in advance. I've tried to search for answers but unable to find anything. My question is - the Altezzalink can communicate with the "SNOW" button via CAN / BEAN. How do I utilise this in PCLink? My scenario would be using the SNOW button to toggle features such as anti-lag or launch control. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Yes the Snow button is received over BEAN so can be used for other functions. The slight trick is the button only sends a momentary "on" signal when pushed (not latched). You can make some logic using a virtual aux to make it latch, or something like short press for on long press for off. The Snow button is received as parameter CAN DIG #1. The Snow lamp is by default set up to show the status of CAN DIG #1 also but you can change that in the CAN transmit stream to show the status of launch or anti-lag for instance. Set up example below would turn on virtual aux 1with a short button press and turn off with a long button press (longer than 2 seconds). You can then use Virtual aux 1 to activate whatever function you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akane Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi, I have set everything up accordingly (I used Virtual AUX2), but the input will remain "ON" when I monitor virtual Aux 2 with the F12 key, no matter what I do with the Snow Button. Snow Button is "working" as I toggle the button the dashboard will toggle the light on / off. Could the logic be incorrect some how?

Adamw Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 If you open up the runtimes screen (F12) and navigate to the CAN tab, are you seeing CAN Dig 1 change state when you press the snow button: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akane Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi, in Aux Virtual monitoring, the snow button will toggle Virtual AUX no problem when engine is off, but once engine is running the Virtual AUX will be stuck to on.

Akane Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 My apologies, CAN DIG #1 State toggles fine with both engine on or off. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Ok, that at least suggest the incoming signal is ok and its just a bad setting in our virtual aux or timer logic. Can you attach your tune file, I will take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ok there was a mistake in my original example and a mistake in your settings too. We have to add another virtual aux into the mix as the CAN DI is not a parameter we can use to reset the timer. Set up like below, make sure you change your Virtual aux 2 SW cond 2 to match mine below, in your map it is set as "Aux Value1", not Aux Virtual: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akane Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'll give this a try and will report back if required. Many thanks, much appreciate your expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
