Knock logging

Post by coyoteboy »

Is there any way of logging knock? I know the knocksenseMS maker superimposes a spike onto the coolant line, which would work, but im not 100% sure i could do that myself DIY stylee lol

open msns-extra.ini file youll find:
entry = advSpark, "Spark Angle", int, "%d"
entry = egttemp, "EGT", int, "%d"
; entry = fuelpress, "Fuel Press", int, "%d"
entry = KnockDeg, "Knock", int, "%d"
; entry = XForce, "X GForce", float, "%.2f" ; X on X7
; entry = YForce, "Y GForce", float, "%.2f" ; Y on X6
; entry = MAFVolts, "MAF Volts", float, "%.2f" ; MAF on X7

; TEST ONLY - DONT USE
; entry = iTime, "iTime", int, "%d"
; entry = iTimeX, "iTimeX", int, "%d"
; entry = iTimefull, "iTimeFull", int, "%d"

; TESTING
; entry = dwelldelay1, "dd1", int, "%d"
; entry = dwelldelay2, "dd2", int, "%d"

this example shows rhe log will have Knock in it, this iirc has the degrees of retard it has removed from the base spark map, so its not exactly when it has knocked just the amount it has remoed,
