Firmware input resources

Postby aNinjaneer on Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:18 am

Is there a way to interact with the Firmware 0-31 input resources? I want to write wheel speeds directly from the OE CAN bus instead of having to use the ECU.Receive like I am now. Are the Firmware inputs reserved only for MoTeC OE modules, or can you interact with them somehow?

Yes - this type of integration is exactly the purpose of the firmware resources. The library function to set the resource value is:

Code: Select all
System.SetFirmwareResource()

AH! Thanks, Andrew! :) I searched everywhere for something like that in the documentation, and around the M1 Build environment and couldn't find anything. Good to know!

We will update the developers manual to fix this oversight.
