More than 24 CAN ADC
Additional CAN ADC inputs Pretty please. I only need a few additional but I am out of CAN channels and could really use the extras too monitor suspension travel sensors.
Is it possible in the software or is it a hardware limitation?

Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
It is very possible but not quite easy. I did this for the 1.2.x firmware, and I added a lot more in fact (total 48 analog channels, 16 digital inputs, 24 outputs).
The CAN code is not the actual problem, the tricky thing is rewriting all the relevant code sections that use all these extra inputs/outputs.

Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
Ah, I see. Hopefully it is something that can be done for next release. It is a real bottleneck on my setup now. I have all the devices that can send data but the ECU doesn't have any available CAN ports to log them.Reverant wrote:It is very possible but not quite easy.

Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
The biggest problem right now is that we don't have any space left in the "outpc" data structure that holds all the variables that are being reported/logged to TunerStudio. So even if the 24 channels could be doubled, there would be nowhere to put them so that TunerStudio can see them. To fix this, additional coding is required (but has to be done anyway as we want to be able to log other data as well).

Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
Looging everything at once is nice but not always needed. In the meantime, couldnt I log the channel internally when needed to buy time until Tunerstudio could catch up?Reverant wrote:The biggest problem right now is that we don't have any space left in the "outpc" data structure that holds all the variables that are being reported/logged to TunerStudio.

Can I pay someone to add a few more channels? I am currently 2 short to get to where I need to be.

Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
A request that Dimitris has made previously could help with this (I believe.)
If the EGT system could receive directly from the CAN EGT without using the CAN ADCs system, you'd save 8 channels right away.
Jean told me a long while ago that he had created firmware for the CAN EGT that used regular CAN broadcasts that would be easy for the MS3 to receive. Unfortunately, the people he sent it to for testing haven't got back to him. I'll drop him an email.

Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
Yeah, that was ready more than 2 tears ago. But it remains untested.jsmcortina wrote:Jean told me a long while ago that he had created firmware for the CAN EGT that used regular CAN broadcasts that would be easy for the MS3 to receive.

Actually, it would be interesting to be able to have the MS3 able to receive regular CAN broadcasts for the entire datax structure in the same raw data format. You could then expand on this over what is currently available.

That would be awesome! Let me know if you want me to test.racingmini_mtl wrote:Yeah, that was ready more than 2 tears ago.

Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
What are you using be able to run that you can run that many adc's?
1967 Mustang Coupe, 351w, S475 turbo, MS3.0 3x, c4, 8.8, ls coils, e85
Re: More than 24 CAN ADC
Could the (T)IOx be set up to log to disk / SD card / thumb drive ... ? Out the serial port, through a USB adaptor, down the stairs and into a tunnel, arriving at some sort of logger thing?racingmini_mtl wrote:Yeah, that was ready more than 2 tears ago.
