Trying to make a VVT indicator light

Post by Dohc Rocks »

I'm using the VVT driver to operate my lockup torque converter and want to add an indicator to the dash.

With the VVT being PP6 I figured Port6 would be the output channel but it isn't.

What output channel am I looking for ?

This is really a firmware question, what firmware are you using?

I''m running 1.0.2

I should add that I setup the VVT output setup to control the lock-up torque converter and it works great with the following algorithm:

Power off: 0
Power on: 1

When TPS < 25% and VSS > 40 MPH


The only thing I'd like to have more is a table of load-speed so I could make it more configurable.

Seems like every time I find my question has been asked in the forums before it's goes unanswered .. starting to think it's a sign

The port information is covered in the manual

You need to be running current firmware.
