Autosport Labs AnalogX

[lifeandffl]

Hi all, first new thread. I was wondering if anyone can give me some incite on how to code up for a AnalogX GPIO from Autosport Labs. It was built and designed to add on additional channels for the RaceCapture/Pro but I wanted to integrate it into my MS3X. I was thinking I could use the GPIO code that is already existing and modify it to work with the AnalogX. Is this a reasonable approach or do you have another suggestion?

A link to the device I want to use is below.

it looks like you could use the can receiving to read the data from that guy.

That was my thoughts as well. Now I just need to figure out HOW I go about doing that.

I guess I'll just have to dive into the code and figure out how to get the two to talk to each other.

it shouldn't need any firmware coding.

by default it broad casts the data at 50hz on a 500kbp can speed so this is good as its the baud megasquirt uses, it looks like it uses 2 bytes per sensor i'm guessing its a unsigned integer little endian format and i believe it uses 0-5000mv for the reading it gives out.

so between the can receiving and the generic sensor inputs you should be able to read you 0-5v input from the AnalogX then scale it in to human readable information and log or display it
