so I got first aim2can devices, how can I configure them?
- or they have some kind default configuration?
- yes, feed AIM stream from v3 (1st or 2nd RS232 port; or from PC)
- make sure the CAN bus is terminated properly (120 Ohm on both ends);
- The device termination can be measured with DVM (eg. typical 120 Ohm, but sometimes 240 Ohm for compatibility with some BMW app that uses 2 terminating devices on each end 240/2=120 Ohm effectively).
- emitting CAN data for dash (feed to CAN-receiver or CAN logger)
- if need more CAN-ID messages, see CanBus and specify required message data on your project page
- after a certain number of messages specified, implemented and tested, we make the device easily configurable. (to make sure the conversions / formulas / ranges are sufficient)
There might be many CAN-bus systems in a vehicle. Please make sure not to adversely effect critical systems eg. ABS.
Some test AIM streams would be nice, eg. with constant for a few seconds, than artificial step (RPM, wheelspeed, MAP, TPS data), so any conversion (eg. the wheelspeed in 0.1 km/h or mph or other units) are easier to notice (calibration or verification with continuously varying data is more challanging).
