Duty Cycle1 does not equal Duty Cycle2??

Post by mkehler »

Should I assume that dutycyle1 gauge is essentially the first injector driver (q2 I think, pins 32 and 33 on the db37), and dutycycle2 gauge is the second one (q7 and pins 34/35) ?

I just turned on my dutycyle2 gauge, and its percentage always reads double of what dutycycle1 gauge reads..

I am misinterpreting this, or is something else wrong? I have an inline6, so q2 fires 3 cylinders, and q7 will fire the other 3. So far everything seems to be running fine, but I only got it going yesterday.

Using 2.25b and extra code .ini. Lines are as follows

dutyCycle1Gauge = dutyCycle1, "Duty Cycle 1", "%", 0, 100, -1, -1, 85, 90, 1, 1
dutyCycle2Gauge = dutyCycle2, "Duty Cycle 2", "%", 0, 100, -1, -1, 85, 90, 1, 1

Matt,

The DC2 gauge is only meaningful when you are running dual table (either the code, or the mode, depending on firmware). In MT 2.20, and some of the -Extra ini files, there were bugs that showed DC2 for table 1, using table 2 parameters, when in single table mode, so DC2 is garbage. In single table mode, DC1 == DC2 always, so if you want another gauge, get rid of DC2, it's redundant.
