Hi,
I want to use the stock Steering Damper from a motorcycle and control it
with a M800 and/or an ADL.
is that possible with M800?
Output? Setup?
Any advice are welcome
Thank you
Francois

How is it controlled by the stock ECU ? It could be a solenoid.
My best guess is it is controlled by a PWM signal, driven by speed value. Set an aux output as PWM, and vary duty cyle in the test output mode.
But it could be also a stepper motor. How many wires in the cable?

Hi Polux RSV,
Yes it's a solenoid with 2 wires.

Use an Aux output as PWM, with the higher frequency. Fill the table with speed as x axis, if you want to soften at low speed :D You can add TPS or gear as y axis to compensate for wheelies.

Thank you for the advice, i try to use the maximum with MoTeC stuff.
It's always good to test and have a good practice.
