You can 100% do this with the IC7.  So things like water temp, you can setup an alarm / warning to trigger whenever you like. Then while racing, you can hit a button on the IC7 and clear the warn

What do you do with the car Like Rob I've used gauges, loggers and dashes in the race and street cars, depends what you are looking for. Of course, nothing beats Power FC hand controller for

Meanwhile I've pulled out all the gauges from my car. Less distractions, let the ECU and multi level engine protection strategies do the hard work. Will at some stage put in a small dash or

correct, although I understand you can leave ground off too if you want, the box is USB powered.

Gotcha, getting the occasional flash on the send LED however RealDash is stating it is "Connecting USB Serial" every 5 or so seconds, with a Timeout shown as well in Can Monitor. With the car running neither the Send or Rev. lights activate.

 

Is there anything I need to do on the Haltech NSP software? I would have assumed it would be able to intercept the CAN data without Haltech NSP needing to be updated. I believe Baud rate on realdash matches the adapter as well at 2000000, maybe this is too high?

I can't help with the Haltech side, but if the seeed adapter is not flashing it is not receiving or understanding the data.

And if it is flashing OK, if the CAN adapter is not showing live data CAN Monitor then the setup issue is at the Realdash end

Just a thought: do the settings match what is set on the Haltech? From what I understand baud rate, endianness and signedness need to be in sync as it determines the transfer speed and encoding. You mention 2,000,000 but your screenshot shows a CAN speed of 250kbps which is 250,000.

That's what I will look into today, I'm not sure haltech mentions anything in their software what their can rate is set to? I realise now I have the Endianness selected incorrectly in the app, however I think I did try big and little and had no luck.

The docs for the Haltech CAN keypad mention that it runs on 1,000kbps, so 1,000,000. See attached. The closest setting from the analyser docs seems to be 1,228,800. Have you tried setting it to that? But yeah, doesn't look like there is a lot of documentation from Haltech.

I'm impressed how quickly you got the adapter. I'm still waiting on mine.

You may be mixing up the serial uart baud rate with the CAN bus speed. 

The haltech and CAN analyser need the have the same CAN bus speed (1mbs) and the CAN analyser and the Dash need the same serial baud rate.

Did you buy yours from Seeed directly? I bought from Pakronics after seeing they were located in Thomastown and took the gamble that they weren't shipping from China.

Yep got it working, baud rate matches as well as can bus speed. RealDash just doesn't seem to have a nice gauge setup purely for temps and pressures, I don't need anything with a Speedo and tacho!

Alright so I have all the parts required to try this out on a Haltech. Am I right in assuming that I am only using the hi and lo CAN wires and the ground? And that the power wire remains unused?

Just an FYI @Borci88 - try not to be too rough with the USB end of these adapters - I've just had the USB connector snap off the board internally, taking the solder pads with it - I suspect due to vibration in the car, over 24 months.

Have since found the 'MeatPi WiCAN' that looks to be almost identical - however also features Bluetooth, WiFI and can be powered off a 12V source, rather than USB powered like the SeeedStudio adapter.

There also looks to be a USB-C version without Bluetooth and WiFI:

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
