Hi everyone, i have a version 5, so it only has 3 input channels, i did have VM 167, but that does not seem to work anymore, i would like to add some more channels for extra 02 sensors, oil temp, air turbine etc. is there any cheaper way of doing this as i really cannot afford to upgrade to a later version yourdyno box. i only have basic computer skills lol, so im looking for something not too complicated to add some more basic channels, any ideas on any budget ways to add on? Thankyou

Do you have the Canbus/Canylist adapter?  You can get Canbus sensors from somebody like AEM and run it all that way.  That's what I'm doing on my hydraulic dyno, since I need multiple AFR's, pressure, temp, etc.

I'd like to know this also.

An Arduino seems like an obvious choice , but I don't know how to get the Arduino serial data into the yourdyno box for logging.

I'm sure the earlier box like I and boz have don't have CAN capability.

The Arduino side is easy... I might have a look at the plugin coding and see if I can make sense of it.
