"power" options in .ini

Post by coyoteboy »

I was glancing through the -extra.ini file and found something to do with power and 'only using a compatible speed sensor'. Cant find anything with a search, anyone willing to elighten me? With the correct info (drag, gearing etc) you could easily determine actual power output - i presume this is where that was heading?

You need to rig up an F/V that give the Megasquirt a linear voltage reprisentation of vehicle speed.

The MSnS-extra page here - http://megasquirt.sourceforge.net/extra/antirev.html has details on just what the firmware is looking for. Just like it say's, it's all experimental, so YMMV.
