Hi Lance,

Is it possible to get a copy of the Version 5 C code at all? I'm interested in seeing how the timing for the off going and oncoming solenoids works. I'll shortly be starting testing on a Ford 6R80 transmission and the timing of solenoids on the modern clutch to clutch transmissions is critical and if timed incorrectly can bind the transmission which doesn't sound like a good thing

Dave,

What is it that you are concerned about? We can generally implement any scheme that makes sense and has sufficient users to make the effort worthwhile. The current code waits for the pressure adjustment delay to elapse, then it switches the solenoids one at a time, but all within a millisecond or so (with the standard setup). Achieving a higher level of accuracy is difficult because of the various interrupts that are activated (like the CANbus, serial comms, VSS, ISS, etc.). The current 'new serial' (aka. 'envelope') communication routines prioritize speedy comms over output accuracy, unfortunately.

There are no plans to release the 5.xxx code in the immediate future as it is still undergoing development, and is likely to for a while yet.

Lance.
