5.101 config issues

[camomcharo]

Gui67,

Thanks for the info, I have tore my car down for paint so I'll have to dig out my desk from my wife's storage (junk) and give it a test.

Lance,

I have reassembled my car and with 5.102 I have can/mSextra working. The problem I am having now is when I shift fast between P and 4 current gear goes red and says 6 when i shift back to N it clears if I shift slow clicking on each gear (R,N,4) then it works fine I'm using ford voltage and series resistors . Tried changing the - dead band - no help. In the data log it shows a slope between P and 4 instead of individual voltages. I assume this is causing a problem with the software. I jumperd P to N and reset the values it helped but the weird thing is even though the voltage stays the same on the in1adc gauge when shifting from P to n the C and M gear gauges move but theirs no change in signal that i can see not even in the data log, poltergeists maybe? If I don't catch the fault the software eventually crashes. It would seem that my shift selector set up is the problem but I'm not sure what else to use.

The one log is shifting between P and N with P to N jumped; With P jumped to N the In1adc voltage looks stable in the log, I've tried the dead band from .02 to .2 no help.

I usually think outside the box but I feel like my heads in the box if you know what I mean! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Rick

Rick,

I'll have a look.

The first thing for you to do is to install the 5.102 code, as it is more up to date and any fixes will be based on that code.

As a workaround, can you try shifting more slowly from P to 4th?

The P to forward gears transition is always a bit tricky because the code goes from have the manual lever decide the desired gear (in P or N-R the desired gear always matches the selected position) to the gear shift table deciding the desired gear (in 1-2-3-4).

If there's some ambiguity in the signal, the code can get confused. I can have the code check more carefully at this point (such as checking it until it matches three times in a row before switching between PNR and D) but I need to make sure this won't cause more problems than it solves.

I'll look at your logs and see what might make sense to try, then let you know what I try do here.

Lance.

Rick,

Attached is a first try at code that might work better for you:

Monitor_5102ti.abs.s19

Uses 5.102 INI

This code recognizes when an ADC lever has moved from P to D (or vice versa) and checks the position again after waiting for a half second or so. It doesn't check if the result is the same or not, but I have everything in place to do that if it's necessary.

If you want to very, very carefully try this code (I haven't yet, so it is best to try it in a parked car, etc.) that would be great.

The INI is the same as for the existing 5.102 code, get it here: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/fi ... t_5102.ini (though once we have something that appears to work I will make the parameter for the delay adjustable by the user, so a new INI will be needed).

Lance,

I tried 5102ti with the jumper off and got the same results. If I shift slow stopping at each detent it works but its tough at N because of the lock out gate ( B&M Hammer) shifter.

In the meantime I can jumper from P to 4

Thanks. Rick

Rick,

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I'll think about this for a bit and post back here when I have something for you to try (likely today r tomorrow).

Rick,

Attached is new code. I doubt it will solve your issue, but it contains some (hopefully) useful new diagnostic measures. So if you wanted to try it and make a datalog that you could post here for me to analyze, that would be great.

Monitor_5102tii.abs.s19

Uses same INI as above

Lance,

Thanks for looking in this, I noticed gauge-M and C gear stayed at 4 but no fault appeared.

Here's the log

Thanks, I'll have a close look a soon as I get a chance.

Rick,

It doesn't look like there's a lot happening in that log (the input voltage is flat and the position doesn't change). Were you shifting the lever at the time the log was made?

I don't think I understand how your shifter is different from a normal shifter's pattern. Can you tell me what order the shifter sees the gear positions in as you move the lever through it's full range?

BTW, if this was mine, I would change the 'Max. Lever Position Change' parameter's value from the current value of 1 to a value of 4 (under 'Shift Input Patterns -> Lever and Shift Buttons Configuration'). That might help quite a lot.

Lance.
