Guest |709| Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Is there a way to let Vipec control a shiftlight or any other 12V output at a predesignated RPM ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hic Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes Configure on of the AUX outputs as GP Output to turn on the relay which will turn on the shiftlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |709| Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks ! I'm going to give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |709| Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Maybe Ray knows this, the Subaru WRX V44 PnP has 8 Auxillary outputs, of which #5-8 are all 'Idle stepper motor' designated. Can any one of these be used for an output (a light of whatever device that's relay activated) or are all these Aux outputs needed for factory ECU emulation/controlling ?

rayhall Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Aux 5,6,7,8 are used for stepper idle motor on the 1990-2000 (Ver 5-6) model cars. These outputs can be used for anything if not being used for idle control. What version or year is your Subaru. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |709| Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks for responding. Just wanted to mention that you should ignore my last message as i looked through the Subaru wiring schemes and found out that indeed all 4 of them ARE used, just like you mentioned ! My WRX is a 2000 model (V6) and i used the Schemes from a P1 WRX which is the same ECU wiring. Needless to say that the idlestepper motor is needed as it controls idle. :| I assume only the Aux outputs (#1 -#8) can be used for controlling a shiftlight right ? They are all used as the car also has A/C, But i am using an electronic boost controller to control the turbo boost, so Aux #2 could be used or am i missing something ? P.s. Ray, exellent HELP feature in the VTS software, where you can use 'what is this' at any parameter and the Help feature actually makes you understand including examples ... Just wonderfull ! I'm really starting to enjoy this ECU and the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhall Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Aux 2 is wastegate control. If you are willing to give up the CE (Check Engine) light you could use Aux Inj 5 for the shift light. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |709| Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 CE light is not something i wish to give up so i will look into Aux 2 as wastegate control is done by the AVC-R seperately and therefore according to my knowledge Vi-pec isn't controlling the wastegate in my specific situation. I will keep you guys posted about the progress and if it worked out okay ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |654| Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hello all, i have the V88 and connected an led light (with reristor) to AUX9 and set this as an shiftlight. The light is working correctly, but is not shutting down 100%, it keeps al little bit ON, instead of completly off ? What can be wrong ? Thanks in advance.

Simon Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi Do you have the ECU switching ground or is the LED being high side driven? (ECu switching 12V out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |654| Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 ECU is switching ground. 12v i have from seperate powercable, with manual switch, so the ECU send allways "Alarm" to the light, but in night/street i can turn the light off.

Guest Dave-Kriedeman Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Are you controlling the shift LED directly with the ECU aux output or are you controlling the LED via a relay. Remember any leakage in the circuit, even as little as 500 mv,even though using a resistor can be enough to generate a dull glow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |1037| Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 With regards to shift lights, we have a V88 running a CBR600RR in an open wheel Formula SAE car. The rev limiter is set to 14200 RPM. The current firmware doesn't allow a GP Aux output to be configured to switch at 13500 RPM. Currently the the upper limit is 10000 RPM for GP Aux output parameters. Is there any way this can be changed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |654| Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Are you controlling the shift LED directly with the ECU aux output or are you controlling the LED via a relay. Directly, so the best way to do is to put in a relay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 A relay will stop the leakage and in turn the glow. For the CBR and needing a higher shift point ill put it to engineering and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |632| Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 a 5volt zenner Diode will also help remove the glow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Good news on the higher RPM needed for motors that like to rev the 10000 rpm limit on a GP output will be raised in the next firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
