I’m using a Maxxecu with a 8hp transmission.
The gear indicator by default in the dash display R N and actual gear value but doesnt display Park.
Park is displayed as R and Reverse is also R so I can tell if I’m in park or reverse.
How can I change that. From what I saw, -2 is Park, -1 is R, 0 is N and the gears are normal.
Thanks
How is the value transmitted from MaxxECU?
it’s int16, id 0x536 in the 1.3 can protocol.
-2 for parking, -1 for reverse, 0 for neutral
how is the conversion from integer to text is made? can I do it?
I was wondering where did you get information that -2 is actually sent when in park. You could verify this on CAN monitor though.
The reason I’m asking is that RealDash already handles the -2 as showing ‘P’ if attached to text gauge with gear display. I cannot verify that MaxxECU actually sends -2 as our demo car is manual and only signals for ‘N’ and ‘R’ are sent from it.
One thing to note is that if you use ‘Neutral Safety Switch’ input, that will always override gear display to show ‘N’ when input is on.
