Round displays boost target
« on: August 26, 2013, 04:40:03 pm »
Certainly it´s really cheap having a 0-5v input and solenoid connected to the VEMS to run your boost control. Extremely cheap even,

However without connecting to the ecu in any way you are going to be limited in knowing what your boost target is.
I´d like to see a output channel in where the page is changed in the Round when you change the boost target by more then X kpa.
i.e the changing of the target forces the round to a specific page for a number of seconds afterwards.

The same would be in effect if the round is not connected to the vems and just a round by itself, making the round a fully fledged boost controller with updating display.

Also ideal would be that if a sensor input goes above a value the round swaps to that page and flashes repeatedly until the page button is pressed to acknowledge the alarm, the page would not change while the button is being pressed.

Right, and even more , to take the full benefit of the good design of Round  it would be nice to use it as a monitor which can display more status codes, errors, sensor dysfunction, misfires etc as warnings/alarms ...
However this monitoring function is not yet implemented in Ve fw, as far as I know
