shiftx & getChannel

Post by MrBlahh »

Not sure I'm doing this right, trying to use the sample with 3 mapped channels, I verified they are working and showing up in the dashboard but I'm not getting anything out of the shiftx. I did confirm shiftx is working with the disco demo


tickRate = 30
--the CAN baud rate
CAN_baud = 500000
--CAN channel to listen on. 0=first CAN channel, 1=second
CAN_chan = 0

-- What CAN bus ShiftX2 is connected to. 0=CAN1, 1=CAN2
sxCan = 1
-- 0=first ShiftX2 on bus, 1=second ShiftX2 (if ADR1 jumper is cut)
sxId=0
--Brightness, 0-100. 0=automatic brightness
sxBright=0

--add your virtual channels here
--format addChannel(<name>, <sample rate>, <precision>, <min>, <max>, [units])
tempId = addChannel("EngineTempX", 1, 0, 0, 255, "F")
rpmId = addChannel("RPMX", 10, 0, 0, 10000)
fuelId = addChannel("FuelX", 1, 0, 0, 100, "%")

--Convert C to F
function toF(value)
return value * 1.8 + 32
end

function fuelFilter(value)
--adjust for 7 bit value
value = bit.band(value, 0x7F)
--convert liters to %
return value / 0.48
end
--Brightness, 0-100. 0=automatic brightness
sxBright=0

function sxOnUpdate()
--add your code to update ShiftX2 alerts or linear graph during run time.
--Runs continuously based on tickRate.

--uncomment the below for OBDII RPM PID

--update Fuel Level
sxUpdateAlert(1, getChannel("FuelX"))
end

function sxOnInit()
--config shift light

sxSetLinearThresh(2,0,6000,255,0,0,10) --red+flash at 6500 RPM

--configure first alert (right LED) as engine temperature (F)

sxSetAlertThresh(0,1,225,255,0,0,10) -- red flash at 225F

--configure second alert (left LED) as fuel (%)
sxSetAlertThresh(1,0,0,255,0,0,10) --red flash below 20 %
sxSetAlertThresh(1,1,25,255,255,0,5) --yellow flash 25-40 PSI

fixed, was missing an init for the shiftx

for now this is what I'm using, fuel will probably switch to AFR or IAT for meth logging

is it possible to have multiple alerts on the same led? so I can make one led blink red for temp, blink orange for IAT, blink blue for fuel

is there a way to add a delay or sleep to the LUA so it waits a few seconds before it starts to run?

I'm running the shiftx on the same poewr switch as the racecapture, I think the shiftx is booting slower than the racecapture and not getting the init commands, if I power up the shiftx first then power up the mk2 it works fine but if they both power up at the same time the shiftx is not reading the data

sleep(ms) command - this will stall the lua script for the specified time

Hi - glad you got it working!

For multiple alerts on the same channel you'd have to take discrete control of the alert logic and set the alert value directly, rather than use the alert threshold facility, which is designed to facilitate the tracking of a single value.
