Hey, Folks - will the ShiftX2 CAN protocol be available for people who want to use the light with devices besides race capture?

Found this post showing a trace of the tach signal on a car with the same engine/ignition. Will still take my own but thought this might help if anyone else is trying to figure this out. http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/118122/converting-a-tachometer-signal-into-something-a-microproces...

So it is enabled and shows RPM 0. At one point I thought it was working because the gauge was moving as I reved the motor but it was way off. I tried adjusting polling frequency and the other parameters but I think it was a fluke because now it either shows 0 or just stuck on 200 rpm then 13k :) Did...

There isn't any 'debugging' output in the firmware per se due to the embedded nature. for seeing the output all you need to check is the raw channels dashboard screen (green text indicators) Knowing what that signal looks like would be important to know and seeing a 'scope trace of the signal would...

Hi Charlie, Thanks for the post. I take it the RPM value is simply remaining at zero? Can you confirm what RPM port you are connecting the wire to? Note the first timer input is the outermost connection on the terminal block? You can also try the other inputs as well. As far as the signal goes; we'...

Honda D/B series tachometer signal help

Hey Folks, I tapped my civics tachometer line from the back of the cluster. When I measure with my multimeter set to AC at the RCP header I can see voltage move from 2v-8v that seems to correspond with built in tach (I guess PWM averaged by my meter). I set my sample rate to 1Hz Timer Speed is Mediu...
