    CANbus data

    Thanks once again! The DBC file is really helpful, especially the info of bits assignment and formulas of converting the byte stream value into a physical one.

    CANbus data

    Thank you! Will take a look there within the next days

    CANbus data

    I just started digging into this area with SavvyCAN, looks pretty handy. Especially the option to distinguish individual bits in the stream - it's something that is not easy to do looking at raw numbers. May I ask you to share your dbc file, if you are ok to let me publish my findings from it on...

    CANbus data

    Regarding 0x415 here is what I observe:So, byte0 and byte1 form 16bit number for speed. In code it looks like: speed = (int(canMsgData[0])<<8 | int(canMsgData[1])) / 100 that's why I mentioned 8bits shift. The saw is on byte2 within range of 192-252 - it doesn't look like lower part of 16bit...

    CANbus data

    Hello comrade :) Regarding 0x415 - looks like in m case it's the same as you mean - 16bits are formed from byte0 and byte1. I'm not familiar with dbc files, but if there are ways to export it to readable text file I'll be glad to take a look. Do you have any reference or guidelines about file...

    HSCAN wire location?

    Yes. As a rule the values under the same CAN ID are the same across all the variants of the car. In general, in automatic version may be present some IDs dedicated to it's gearbox, but it would be some edge cases, as far as for other specific features depending on the car configuration...

    HSCAN wire location?

    On ID 0x204 it's on both HS1 and HS3. On 0x109 it's on HS3 only. So, if you take ID 0x204, the formula would be (byte3 * 256 + byte4) * 2. On that screenshot you posted above it looks like they accept two bytes for RPM in the same way, but still unclear how to multiply it by 2 according to the...

    HSCAN wire location?

    Sadly, but can’t help with the analog area. In case you still have any hope in CAN messages, here’s my discovery of them: https://github.com/v-ivanyshyn/parse_can_logs/blob/master/Ford%20CAN%20IDs%20Summary.md

    CANbus data

    May I ask you to share this data as text file? I'm working on this stuff as well, here are my findings so far: https://github.com/v-ivanyshyn/parse_can_logs/blob/master/Ford%20CAN%20IDs%20Summary.md

    HSCAN wire location?

    Here are pins of APIM harness:

    HSCAN wire location?

    There are 3 HS CAN buses. HS1 is accessible through OBDII connector. The harness to APIM module has HS1 and HS3 if cutting wires is ok for you.Here is schematic of the modules and buses:

    Handbraking on corners (automatic gearbox, GT)

    Sadly I need the car for daily drive as well. So my goals aren’t for high absolute numbers, rather for improvements in driving skills. I’ll apply modifications that don’t hurt street drive and would not cost a lot

    Handbraking on corners (automatic gearbox, GT)

    Thanks for the videos. The track is pretty small: https://www.autodromomabed.com/circuitos.php?sec=CircuitoResistencia So, at least for me, the slow corners are the main exercise. It’s funny to watch how Miatas and Minis dominate all sorts of high performance cars there :)

    Handbraking on corners (automatic gearbox, GT)

    Thanks for explanation. Regarding my feelings - mostly there’s not a surprise, but disappointment that the car is too slow on slow corners. It feels like I already have slowed the car enough but it still understeers. I’m pretty sure I do them not well especially on series of opposite corners...

    Handbraking on corners (automatic gearbox, GT)

    The car is for daily drive, sometimes on bad roads. So, I’m sticked to soft springs and stock ride height. I go to a track time to time, with intent to improve driving skills there, and because of enjoying it of course :) My goal is to learn how to drive it correctly on track without spending...
