Clutch Slippage using the spare VR Input

Post by Breastfed »

Hi
I'm only using 1 VR input (36-1 on the Cam) would it be possible to implement code and a setup menu for the 2nd VR input to measure clutch slip % with a calculated gear ratio.
I've done this using data acquisition on marine transmissions with good results

Any thoughts

MS3 can already do most of this with the "Shaft Speed" sensors system.

It's not something for which I can give intelligent comments, but I THINK you can do this with custom fields in TS.

So lets say I install the 2nd VR sensor, just for simplicity here... will I be able to monitor this parameter in TS for example with a 2nd Tacho.

I'm not near my TS laptop, Is there an option in TS to enable this feature ? everything that I have remember is an option for cam & crank combinations to run one of the many choices for ignition/Inj, as mentioned I'm only running a 36-1 off the Cam.

And would I be correct in saying that a custom ini would also be required for the calculation in TS ? just like when you add an Fuel / Oil pressure gauge for the spare ADC's

I'm going to stick with my MS2-V3 (fearful of my Wife) it sure would be neat to have this working.
Sounds like a question that maybe better asked in the TS section.

No, there isn't an option in MS2 to do this.
