Does uS output to CAN continuously? We might be able communicate with the datalogger via that method if possible.

We're planning on getting it (Aprilia SXV 550) running by the end of December.

Do either pin 5 or 18 have any functions?

I would assume not, as they have N/C in the diagram.

What about using pin 16 or 17 to control relays?

This would be nice to know, since I've got an Aprilia V-twin that has two separate COP packs that need to be triggered. Can this be done with single input, dual output?

If that's the case, we'll take a look at the code. We're all mechanical engineers but we can probably get a computer science-y type to take a look and see what it would take.

That would be the best solution, since having to signal twin wouldn't be the best solution (Which unit's +5Vref do you use ...

Well, right now it's just conceptual design. Our team has a Race-Technology DL-2 unit which takes RS232 RX/TX signals from some types of ECU (MoTeC M4, etc) but doesn't have a standard 9-pin serial port. So plugging directly in to the datalogger isn't going to happen, but that's fine.

I guess my ...

Hi, I'm currently trying to decide whether μSquirt is appropriate for a Formula SAE project and the only hitch I've found is the RS232 apparently doesn't play nice with dataloggers. Has anyone tried to hook up μSquirt to a datalogger via the serial connection?

Thanks in advance!
