Gauge Setups

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:

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
