how many can devices (i/o)

[Yves]

How many can devices can be connected on megasquirt and can the inputs/outputs all be programmed, used via TS ?

Your question is very broad.
Electrically you can have tens of CAN devices.
Per the "Megasquirt-CAN" protocol you can have up to 14 devices.

In terms of control, what are you trying to do?

I have one tinyiox comin which has provisions for

Oil temp which is used to switch a fan
Oil pressure input
Water pressure input
Fuel pressure input from which fuel pump speed is regulated
Baro
4 x egt

On my v3.57 i have a maf on js5 and knock on js4

I want to have the following added on another board :
Remaining 4 egt
Second o2
Second maf to log ( other bank)

I don't seem to find how to be able to log inputs and display them in mlv

MS2 has no provision for collecting and using additional inputs on I/O boards. Through TunerStudio you can connect to multiple CAN devices simultaneously and datalog them.

MS3 has provision to capture that data, scale it to useful values and datalog it - either via TunerStudio or to the internal SDcard.

MS2 does have some provision for collecting and using data but it is quite limited. It can get up to 8 analog inputs but it can only use up to 2 of them for the primary and second O2 inputs and one for a baro input; the other inputs are stored as raw data and only available in the datalog. You would need to create a custom.ini file to translate the raw data into meaningful units. You can also get PWM inputs and digital inputs some of which can be used by the MS2.

But to log as much data as what is mentioned with an MS2, there is no other way than to create a project with CAN devices and let TunerStudio log the data from all the devices. You will still need to create a custom.ini file to translate the data into the desired units.

Where can I get the infor required for such a custom ini ?

For the spare ADC inputs on MS2 itself, this is covered in the MS2 manuals.

I had the inputs on the tinyiox in mind.

The idea is the same, you just need to use the correct variable names for your application. That will depend on which input you use.

You can post on my forum. I have a few example files that can be used as a start.

For some unknown reason it doesn't want to accept my password. Asked for a new one. Inputted that one, same result and now the account is blocked.

I sent you an email with a new password.

Before I waste hours of my time on a fool's errand, can this be done on the Lite version of TS, or do I need to finally break open the piggy bank and register for the full edition?
