CANBUS OIL Temp from AN8

[markhellier]

I am using AN8 to get Oil Temperature instead of a temp channel. This is because I'm sharing the sensor with a gauge, and the anvolt can have ext pull-up.

I have a AIM Dash setup using the Generic Dash Stream. This is working great except The oil Temperature being sent is not the one I'm using.

does anyone have the Canbus stream setup file for the generic dash config so i can change just the oil temperature? or any other ideas?

Thanks

this info taken from the Link help file :-

 

The 'Transmit Generic Dash' mode sends out a range of common parameters, it is useful for dashes that are able to have a custom configuration. The parameters that are sent are in the table below.

Setting up the Link ECU: 1. Open the CAN Setup window (PCLink > ECU Controls > CAN Setup) 2. Select the CAN module to be used 3. Set the Mode to 'User Defined'. 4. Configure the Bit Rate to match what the dash requires. 5. Select a spare CAN channel. 6. Select 'Transmit Generic Dash' from the Mode drop-down menu. 7. Set the CAN ID to match what the dash expects. 8. Set the Transmit Rate to 20Hz or what the dash expects. 9. Make sure no other CAN channels are configured on the same CAN ID as the Generic Dash channel. 10. Click Apply and then OK. 11. Make sure a Store (F4) is performed.   Setting up the Generic Dash: 1. The dash will need to be configured to match the data layout in the tables below.   All parameters are sent as 16 bit unsigned numbers, with low byte first.  Some parameters must be multiplied or offset (constant value added) to get the correct calibrated value.  The limits flags are sent through as a bit field (described below).     Data 0 Data 1 Data 2-3 Data 4-5 Data 6-7 Frame 1 0 0 Engine Speed Display (RPM) = Raw Range = 0 - 15000 RPM MAP Display (kPa) = Raw Range = 0 - 650 kPa MGP Display (kPa) = Raw -100 Range = -100 - 550 kPa Frame 2 1 0 Barometric Pressure Display (kPa) = Raw * 0.1 Range = 0 - 200 kPa TPS Display (%) = Raw * 0.1 Range = 0-100% Injector DC Display(%) = Raw * 0.1 Range = 0-100 % Frame 3 2 0 Injector DC (Sec) Display (%) = Raw * 0.1 Range = 0 - 100% Injector Pulse Width (Actual) Display (ms) = Raw * 0.001 Range = 0 - 65 ms ECT Display (deg C) = Raw - 50 Range = -50 - 205 deg C Frame 4 3 0 IAT Display (deg C) = Raw - 50 Range = -20 - 205 deg C ECU Volts Display (V) = Raw * 0.01 Range = 0 - 65 V MAF Display (g/s) = Raw * 0.1 Range = 0 - 6500 g/s Frame 5 4 0 Gear Position Display (gear) = Raw Range = 0 - 6 Injector Timing Display (deg) = Raw Range = 0 - 719 deg Ignition Timing Display (deg) = (Raw * 0.1) - 100 Range = -100 - 100 deg Frame 6 5 0 Cam Inlet Position L Display (deg) = Raw * 0.1 Range = 0 - 60 deg Cam Inlet Position R Display (deg) = Raw * 0.1 Range = 0 - 60 deg Cam Exhaust Position L Display (deg) = Raw * -0.1 Range = -60 - 0 deg Frame 7 6 0 Cam Exhaust Position R Display (deg) = Raw * -0.1 Range = -60 - 0 deg Lambda 1 Display (Lambda) = Raw * 0.001 Range  = 0 - 3.000 Lambda Lambda 2 Display (Lambda) = Raw * 0.001 Range  = 0 - 3.000 Lambda Frame 8 7 0 Trig 1 Error Counter Display (counts) = Raw Range = 0 - 255 Fault Codes Display (code) = Raw Range = 0 - 255 Fuel Pressure Display (kPa) = Raw Range = 0 - 6550 kPa Frame 9 8 0 Oil Temp Display (deg C) = Raw - 50 Range = -50 - 205 deg C Oil Pressure Display (kPa) = Raw Range = 0 - 6550 kPa LF Wheel Speed Display (kph) = Raw * 0.1 Range  = 0 - 1000 kph Frame 10 9 0 LR Wheel Speed Display (kph) = Raw * 0.1 Range  = 0 - 1000 kph RF Wheel Speed Display (kph) = Raw * 0.1 Range  = 0 - 1000 kph RR Wheel Speed Display (kph) = Raw * 0.1 Range  = 0 - 1000 kph Frame 11 10 0 Knock Level 1 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Knock Level 2 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Knock Level 3 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Frame 12 11 0 Knock Level 4 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Knock Level 5 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Knock Level 6 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Frame 13 12 0 Knock Level 7 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Knock Level 8 Display (units) = Raw * 5 Range = 0 - 1000 units Limits Flags - Refer bit field definition below.   Limits Flags Definition Bit   0 RPM Limit 1 MAP Limit 2 Speed Limit 3 Maximum Ignition Flag 4 Anti-lag Ignition Cut 5 High Supply Voltage Limit 6 Overrun Flag 7 Traction Limit 8 Low Supply Voltage Flag 9 Launch RPM Limit 10 Wakeup Flag 11 GP RPM Limit 1 12 CL Stepper Limit 13 GP RPM Limit 2 14 EThrottle Limit 15 Cyclic Idle Active

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks Richard,

i have tried making the stream manually(from help file)  But I’m not understanding the first 2 “words” in each frame. Couldn’t get it to work with my manually created stream. Hoping someone had a file I could import that was the equivalent of the preset stream.

Hi Mark,

I suspect the problem is your oil temp sensor being on a AV input is not actually assigned to the "oil temp" parameter but rather a "GP Temp" parameter that is not sent in the standard generic dash stream.  Attached below is a configurable version of the generic dash stream where I have replaced "oil temp" with AN 8 - Oil temp.

For any others that want it I will also attach an un-modified configurable generic dash stream.

Thanks Adam,

That worked perfectly I had the byte order wrong. The generic file will be useful for anyone who has the generic dash working over can, but want to change a couple of fields.

Great stuff.

I'm using the Aim Solo2 DL to datalog. this now is setup how I'd like.

Thanks.
