Megasquirt Support Forum (MSEXTRA)

Could someone point me to a list of the output port channels for MS3X, specifically P2 to P6 (nitrous1/2, VVT, idle etc)?
I've looked in the MS3X manuals and tunerstudio help but can't seem to find it.

Is the information you're looking for in this table?

Don't think so. I would like to add some indicators for those outputs in Tunerstudio, but I don't know what the names of the output channels are in Tunerstudio.

There aren't any, that's why you can't find them.

James,

does it possible to add them? I would use them for my display module to show like the status of my PA7 - InjH output.

For example, I would use the PA7 to drive my Water Intercooler pump, but currently I can not see when it is running. I can measure the temperature of the cooling water by some of the spare ADC ports and display it on my display module -- it is part of the burst as well what I use - but cannot monitor the output port. I can switch the PA7 based on the water temperature but can not see when it is activated.

If there is a chance to get it implemented, does it possible to add the output port channels bit value into some byte variable and make it part of the burst stream what is sent for the famous command 'A' ?

Thank you.

Phil, James, does it possible to develop this into the upcoming releases?

Thank you.

For TunerStudio this would be an update to the ini, if James made the change to the firmware.
There is always some concern with adding any field to the runtime reads, it is quite large now, the large it gets the slower the data rate will be.
But it is really up to the firmware guys.

Would it be possible for TS. to emulate those outputs.
I mean it reads the ini, and understands the msq.
So if all the conditions are met, let it show the output on port X.
This could be done to all none importent outputs.
Making the datastream faster.

In cases where you are driving a generic port based on conditions you could make your own OutputChannel to replicate the logic you set. But you would want to remember that that indicator only represents it meeting the conditions you intended, it does not really mean it is on.

i.e. If you have PA7 set to go on when coolant goes over 160, you can make an OutpuChannel:

pa7On = { coolant > 16 }

However, there is probably going to be a hysterisis set, there would be little visibility of that.

Phil,

As I see you need only like 2 bytes to display 16 output status. I do not hink it really slow down your process.

James what do you think it it feasible to have this in the next release?

Thanks,

Zoltan
