AIM RCP integration
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:19 pm
Hi Guys
I'm using the AIM /RCP integration script downloaded from the wiki with no mods, and I'm a bit confused as to how my race capture is picking up channels- for example, I get valid RPM info over the CAN bus, but nowhere do the channels names match up. In AIM, Channel "ECU_1" is named "M_RPM" and is mapped to SmartyCam "Engine RPM". The racecapture script is looking for "RPM" and it's picked up. Is this because it's looking for CAN ID 1056? Are the CAN addresses sequential from 1056 through 1074, set in order for the smartycam? Or is there a secret channel naming that isn't visible in the AIM setup software?
One other question, I'm set for Fahrenheit in AIM, but the Engine Temp, which is also not matched up in names, comes through, but in Celsius. Does AIM simply default to Celsius over CAN and re-convert at the SmartyCam? If yes, do I need to add to the script a conversion function?
See attached screengrab.
Thanks!
