Automatic Transmission Using Electronic Shift Solenoid

Post by slow94formula »

Was using ms3pro to control my shift solenoid. Started by just going into the generic outputs and set the solenoid to come on at 6800 rpm, but the first shift doesn't happen until almost 7300 and the second gear shift happens at 6900. I'm okay with having to skew numbers to make the shift where I want them, but not sure how I can command them separately without using two outputs.

I tried switching to the sequential shift cut window to make automatic shifts at different RPMs per gear but that absolutely didn't work lol. Went right to the rev limiter.

I'll get a screen shot of the settings I tried to use in the sequential shift window, but wondering if anyone has successfully used the sequential shift feature with an automatic transmission and bc electric solenoid.

Here are the settings I was using. Loop 1 was not enabled or configured in the Programmable On/Off outputs window. My understanding was by switching mode to auto it ignored the button used. It is occurring to me now I should probably try enabling that, but if someone could confirm that would be great.

The window with programmable on/off outputs is what I had set that was "working" but not as I'd like for it to.

Please read the line where it says "Do not try to enable an output that is already used for another function"

I understand that which is why I unchecked "enabled" when I tried the sequential setting.
