It should already work in standalone.

The only difference between the 2 ini files is that the "SERIAL" parameter is set rather than unset. I don't know how Shadow Dash handles that parameter and how it handles project properties. But either ini file should work as long as you can set the "SERIAL" parameter and SD can make use of it.

I probably need to try this. SD wouldn't have any prepackaged dashboards and it wouldn't fall into a known firmware family, that could be causing an error.

For SD you would have to edit the CAN ID in the msq... by Default SD always talks on CAN ID 0 and there is no UI setting to change it.

I don't use SD but you could try to edit the ini file and change this line at the top of the file from:

Code: Select all

#unset SERIAL ; This is to use the serial port
to

Code: Select all

#set SERIAL ; This is to use the serial port
That will tell SD (or it should) to use the serial port command instead of the CAN commands.

How do you do that if the ini does not have any specific CAN ID defined in there? The commands have an explicit value for the CAN IDs except for the 'S', 'Q' and 'A' commands which do not use a CAN ID. Also, the CAN EGT does not use the latest serial protocol but the old one without the header and CRC.

For searching for something, it always uses the single byte commands, then once online with an ini, it will use what is in the ini.
Even with SERIAL set, it would still be using CAN style commands for interrogation as there is no non-CAN commnds for that.
I can't say whether or not it would do the old style 2nd byte replacement. It should use the ini 2nd byte value as the default CAN ID same as TS.
It may just be failing when trying to classify the firmware family as I don't think there is a family set up for the IOx.
I can't say for sure, never tried it.

i tried changing the can id
as the project properties show a main CAN id of 1
but changing it to 0 gives the shown error
changing it back to 1 again makes everything in working order again

That won't work because you are only changing what TS is using not what the CAN-EGT understands. And you don't want to change the CAN ID to 0 on the CAN-EGT because that would create a conflict with your MS which does use this CAN ID.

so the solution would be to fix shadow dash in such,s a way that it can talk to the CAN EGT in a standalone fashion?

i guess the other option would be a rasberry 3 with tunerstudio and megalogviewer to log the can egt stand alone
and build a Can network with a microsquirt to add logging channels
and even a have way to view your log right away :yeah!:
