Dash2 CAN feed from ECU sent in C but displayed in F
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2023 4:59 am
Good afternoon,
I have a Dash2 and a Microsquirt V3.0. I have the Race Technology CAN adapter.
It's all easy to use and hookup but I have noticed an error in the setup program for the Dash.
The ECU is outputting Coolant temperature in Celcius according to the values in Tuner Studio and the logs, the Dash is displaying the temp in Fahrenheit, even when Celcius is selected in the ECU interface settings.
If I use 73 F as an example.
If I choose C in the settings F is diplaying.
If I choose F in the setting it multiplies it even further, reading appox 165 F.
The equation to convert to F is 1.8*x + 32
What equation do I have to use to get the F reading to diplay in C?
I find the manual equation box a bit confusing.
I've also noticed in the Dash2 setup software that when in ECU Interface setup I can only use Megasquirt MS2 Serial Interface. I am using CAN.
I can only see the correct adapter - Megasquirt MS2 CAN interface (CAN) listed when i go into the ECU Interface setup for the Dash2Pro which I don't have.
Image in post below, posting multiple images isn't working too well.
I gather I can't add my CAN DBC files to a Dash2 and sort it all out myself. If I could I'd like to do that instead.
In hindsight I wish I had purchased the Dash2Pro (shame it's NLA) as adding a data logger to this bike is near on impossible due to space limitations.
(Not sure what is happening with my post, images keep disappearing when trying to add multiples)
