Using one CAN Guage to measure two temps
Hi smart people,
I am working on an EV conversion, and I'm using speedhut CAN based guages. I have room for only one temperature guage (temp range 0-100 celcius), but would ideally like to have the option to see the temp on both the electric motor and its inverter.
Here's my current approach:
The guage will only read one pre-defined CAN message, so I've defined two CAN outputs in the PDM config that will send the correct message to the guage when activated.
I'm sending two different CAN messages from the motor / inverter (with different addresses (not the same as the message required by the guage) and I have successfully parsed the right data into the CAN output messages.
I'm trying to use a PDM switch input (true, false) to specify which of the two CAN messages are sent to the guage.
Has anyone done this? What is the best way?
Thanks in advance.
Me again, I solved it! Most likely that will happen a lot over the next few weeks... For those who are interested - the solution was in the Maths Section - using 'choose' to feed one of two alternative values into the CAN output
