How to assign the same resource to multiple functions

Postby NicD on Fri Jan 12, 2024 4:07 am

This may be a stupid question but is there any way to use the same resource twice? Meaning I would love to assign an output for use with multiple functions but once it's been assigned to one it's no longer available to select in the dropdown menus.

For example I'm using INJ_LS6 for a solenoid and it's currently assigned to a function, but I want to setup another custom aux table that can also trigger INJ_LS6. Now I figure I could also use another resource output and just wire it up to the same solenoid but there has to be some way to just select the same resource like I can do in other ECUs, unless it's just not possible here?

Just trying to avoid using another output if it's something I can do in the software as I'm running out of those...

You could use two Aux tables that feed into a third Aux table that then controls the Output if you have enough spare tables.

Hmm, you mean replacing the existing function with an aux table and creating a 2nd aux table for the 2nd function and feeding those into a 3rd for control? At least that's what I think you are saying...

I don't believe I would be able to replicate the first function with an aux table unfortunately as this is a trans brake solenoid and that has the bump function built in as well. I was trying to setup a trans position sensor as a rotary input so that I could automatically engage the solenoid for reverse and just playing around with the aux tables I couldn't come up with a way to replicate all of that.

It sounds like I may just have to use another output that is also hooked up to the relay for the trans brake if I can't select an output resource twice.
