Motec M880-Dash 2 CAN help
Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2016 5:33 pm
Hi folks.
Having real difficulty in trying to understand the steps I need to take to get my Motec M880 talking to my Dash2. TBH, the knowledge base isn't all that helpful IMHO.
I have configured my ECU to output as per R/T datasheet i.e.
CAN 0 DATA - 8
CAN 0 ADDRESS - 1520
CAN 0 Transfer Rate - 50
I have populated Custom Data Set 1 with the items I'd like to send to the Dash. I have connected the ECU CAN adapter to the bus, given it +12V and GND and connected to Dash as per instructions.
The problem I'm having is what to do next in relation to getting the items in the ECU dataset displaying on the Dash.
I have a feeling I'm being a muppet but could do with a spot of nannying on this one. I have set my Dash config and uploaded it but I'm getting nothing. I see there is CAN adapter config utility in the main software but I can't fathom this out at all....
Isn't it just a case of telling the adapter/Dash what I want extracted from the dataset and having it displayed????
