Q&A Forum
I've been playing with the software a bit (I don't have the hardware yet, though will likely order very soon), so being connected to the hardware may open up some things I can't see in the software, so bare with me if this is already there.
What I'm thinking is to be able to use different voltages on any of the analog inputs to trigger different things. Could maybe be used with the math channels, or other add on boards/plugin.
But what I'm thinking is that setting a small voltage range in (user defined) steps can trigger different outputs or functions within the software.
IE 0 to 1V triggers function A, 1.01 to 2V triggers Function B, 2.01V to 3V triggers function C, 3.01 to 4V triggers function D, 4,01 to 5V triggers function E, along with the ability to set these outputs to latched, momentary, or reset with other defined reset trigger. I tried using the math channels to setup something like this, but I'm going to need to study up on the operators more to really be able to use the math channels, and it seems the match channels are only used on the run screen? Also on the topic of math channels how do you delete a math channel? I made a test math channel and now I can't get rid of it.
My initial idea to use this is for a hardwired remote to start and stop logging (mostly), probably also be able to set brake RPM, etc. Steps could be smaller for more functions or wider for less chance of triggering an adjacent function. So there would probably also need to be some changes made to the hotkeys functionality, to be able to use it this way, to add some internal "automatic" logic for some of the functions.
The hardware side would be setup with a ladder array in different value resistors to get the different voltages.
I know there is the smart phone app that someone on the forum set up and that's good, but as someone pointed out in a discussion about it, in an emergency situation there's no tactile feel to touch screens (and one reason why I'm not always a fan of them), and a simple remote I feel is a good addition to this. I know there's also the DynoKraft remote, but haven't been able to find a price, and while Bluetooth connection can be good, I sometimes like a hardwired solution, especially in an electrically noisy environment like a running car with high performance ignitions.
I guess on this topic any plans to add a YourDyno brand remote?
