How to connect to Link ECU

Connectivity Link
21

Hi Tomy, Did you have to calibrate sensor in Real Dash? I have a Link Monsoon that is fully calibrated and working but Real Dash does not display the correct values.

I would really like to know if you followed the above guide or if you had to complete further steps.

TIA

I discussed this directly with Link, and the following should work properly.

  • On Link ECU settings, select ‘DASH2PRO’ CAN output stream.

  • In RealDash, select ‘LINK: Short CAN’ as CAN description file in connection settings.

I will rename the ‘Short CAN’ to ‘DASH2PRO’ in RealDash to avoid confusion.

Together with Link and their support, we also found some minor issues from current DASH2PRO CAN description file. Updated file will be in next RealDash release, meanwhile the updated XML can be found here:

We have worked together directly with Link and have found and fixed all Link ECU CAN connection issues. Fixes will be in next release.

A pre-release version is available for testing. Send email to contact@realdash.net to get a download link for test version.

Thanks I really appreciate all your effort and support on the Link streams :folded_hands:

Hi, I have an ESP32 based canbus kit that I have used with Savvycan. I’d like to use it for connection to RealDash. Pictures below of the kit, and its a Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (reported in Device Manager). My Link ECU connects to this kit on CAN1 with success, but I can’t see which settings or CAN kit that I need to choose in the hope this will work.

Has anyone had any success with this kit or similar? If so which settings should I choose? Thanks guys.

Do you know what is this device serial protocol? Is it open source or something that we could find it?

Hi, could you refer to this video as this will answer the question.

Appreciate you taking the time to look at this! :slight_smile:

I don’t see any reference for protocol or source code being publicly available.

That looks very much like SLCAN parser in RealDash. That is if

if (SysSettings.lawicelMode)

is true, what ever that means.

Give SLCAN connection type a go.
