Hello,

I would like to retrieve gear position from the standard harness of my Kawasaki ZX6R.
This sensor is available and has the following characteristics :
How should I configure my analog input in order to record a gear position from 1 to 6?
How to display it in Race Analyzer?

Thanks !!

It might be possible through analog input scaling:

Otherwise you'll have to do some custom scripting. To display it in RaceAnalyzer you could add the gear channel as a digital gauge.

Figure out the analog input scaling so that the rounded (precision 0) value always equals the gear that you want! Setting precision to 0 cuts off all of the decimals, so so long as you have it "close enough" it will give you your correct gear.

The problem is that I can't give a negative slew rate + offset.
The 3rd option (mapped value) is also not usable as there is only 5 steps (I got 6 speed gearbox), and it doesn't look like it is working with negative slew rate (at least the preview doesn't work).

Looks like you'll have to custom-script it:

Shouldn't be too hard if you have any programming experience. I'd first log the raw values from the gear position sensor with the getAnalogRaw function, then add code to translate raw values into a gear number. I'd use 1/3 of the smallest gap between raw values for different gears on each side of the target raw value as a margin for error.

BUT you can only do this once virtual channel support is in the firmware...until then, I'd say you should log the raw values from the gear position sensor and then use a spreadsheet app to translate them into gear numbers in "post-production."

Thank you for your answer.
It looks like a nice solution
I will use a post prod script first.
