Hi Adam, we've been in contact already via FB pm... Your script above is not that bad, anyway from a quick look at least you have the byte numbering wrong when you want to receive data from the TC8: Generally speaking about CAN the bytes are numbered from 0-7... i.e. the first byte is called byte 0,...

Heiko, I think you need to define a CAN ID which matches the RaceCapture CAN script... LINK use CAN ID 1000 as their base ID very often (at least it's mentioned in their help file). From the screenshot it looks as if you have defined CAN ID 1 in your config... The RaceCapture example script you ment...

problem solved... for the benefit of the audience the decoding issue was resolved via mail support and here is the explanation as follows: If you look at the CAN description you may observe that none of the parameters of a new CAN ID start at bit 0 but most start at bit 8, which should be an indicat...

Within AIM RS3 you define CAN ID's in hex format (this is clearly visible when you look at the software). Lower CAN ID's have higher priority in case of two different messages being sent at the exact same moment, so the lower IDs will be sent before the higher IDs to avoid collisions on the network....

Hi rex-racer, I wrote a config for a customer by using the AIM CAN output feature... You do NOT need to mimic any dedicated stream but can choose ID's and position of bytes+bits on your own. Obviously you have to make sure that you do not choose any ID's that are already being broadcasted or used in...

Although I did not wrote the script but just suggested how the steering angle could be calculated some posts above and given some information from before, here is the slightly modified script you posted lately... give it a try and come back with your findings please! --Steering angle test --how freq...

Hey onthebeach7350, as dewittpayne explained you can take a "regular" resistor, as Pullup is just the description of how it is used... in your case the resistor will "pull" the signal level up to the 5V line, which generates a voltage divider so that you (the RCP) can measure a v...

Look at the temperature sensor description area following this link which uses the same principle as your fuel level sender... yours is one that could be called LOW RESISTANCE GAUGE TYPE SENSOR. https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/RaceCapturePro_Sensors Connect the signal wire to whatever AnalogIn of you...

Hi Bewbzout and Mitch, Mitch? we've been in contact via FB messenger some days ago or am I wrong? Do you have a CAN script up and running which is mapping some parameters as it should, and just need to extract the steering angle, which you are asking for in the thread above? With the data you provid...

Hey Boggie1688, why do you have TPS specified with "Length 2" within the CAN mapping when you are just talking about a single byte? Your actual scaling of 1/255+0 probably only generates numbers from 0-255 because you specified a 2 byte message, and therefore the byte you are actually look...

You may post your config file and probably some screenshots and a "poll log" output of your simple CAN logger script and the output of your config as you have it now, so that people can get a better idea of what's going on. In another thread you talk about the OBD connector but otherwise s...

Hi Des, what do you mean when you say that you tried but no luck? Tested what I suggested with some generic numbers and it gave me correct results...so the cascaded commands as well as the bitwise operators seem to work correctly as they should and splitted a bigger number into single bytes. tickRat...

Didn't verify it but can you try the following:

lowlat = bit.band(lat,0xFF)
midlat = bit.band(bit.rshift(lat,8),0xFF)
highlat = bit.band(bit.rshift(lat,16),0xFF)
higherlat = bit.rshift(lat,24)

Please come back with the outcome of this!

I'm not sure but instead of your
setChannel(SPEED_MPH, getGpsSpeed())
setChannel(SPEED_KPH, getGpsSpeed() * 1.61)


what about
setChannel(SPEEDMPHID, getGpsSpeed())
setChannel(SPEEDKPHID, getGpsSpeed() * 1.61)

within your onTick() function?
