Having some issues getting a V2 video camera set up, and also curious if there is going to be any more configurability in the software eventually? Can't edit the display templates or change/add displayed sensors currently?

What issues are you having with the setup?

There is a plan to add features to v2 Manager to allow editing of the onscreen gauges however this work isn't in the current development schedule so I do not know when it will be completed.

Trying to get the V2 to receive data from the M800 is my current issue. The instructions are somewhat vague on doing this.

Thanks!

You will need to send a Custom Data Set as a compound message out of the ECU. Below is an image of how to configure the custom data set.


Even if you don't have some of those channels you have to put something in as a place holder, so for instance if you don't have lap number, you have to put some channel in otherwise the two G-Force channels and lap distance won't work.

Something I forgot to mention is that the address needs to be set to 31.

Thanks, which CAN data choice would I select? Obviously the V2 did not exist back when the software was created.

You select the value 7 (Custom Data Set 1 Compound) for CAN 0 Data.

If you used Custom Data Set2, then you have to set the value to 10 (Custom Set 2 Compound Tx) for CAN 1 Data.

Unfortunately, I am using an SDL dash logger on Can0 data, so I guess I will have to use Can1 data and use custom set 2. Too many different CAN devices on this car I guess. I will give that a shot, and if that doesnt work out, I will try to connect it via my SDL dash I suppose..

Thanks!

It would be much easier to setup the SDL to talk to the V2 Video. There is a template you can just load.

I ended up connecting it to Can1 on the SDL3, although there was no v2 video template, I ended up using the VCS TransmitCompound full template and just setting constants for the channels I am not using..

Thanks for the help!
