Wheel request: RV8 4.6 -96

Post by skihnia »

Hi,

I have a Range Rover 4.6 V8 running from the 36-1 crank wheel as semi sequential.
I would like to get it to run sequential if somebody would be interested writing the code for the cam wheel.

That wheel mode will take a special decoder due to the cam pattern. Such a shame that they aren't using the 4 long 2 short VW style cam pattern.

Do that mean that I have a slim or no change getting sequential? Is there anything I could do?

I have written some code that should allow this wheel combination to work.

Hi James,

How could I test your code?

Download and install the latest pre-1.3 alpha code.

Hi James,

Snow has melted and temperatures are above freezing so it's time to start working on hobby projects again.

Today I tested 1.3release, 1.3alpha9 and 1.4alpha1 and couldn't find spark mode that I could interpret to be suitable for me.
Am I looking from wrong place or otherwise missing something?

I think I mentioned how I thought it should be setup in one of the release announcements at the time or by PM. It would use the regular "toothed wheel" decoder.
