7.3 Speed Read from Wheel Sensors
MXS Strada has one speed input in the 23
pins AMP connector.
The digital sensor XØ2SNVMØØ detects the
presence of a metallic tooth placed at a
distance between 0.5 and 2 mm.
Just enter RaceStudio3 configuration panel
and, after enabling the speed channel, set
the wheel circumference and the number
of pulses per revolution.
7. Speed
MXS Strada can receive the speed signal
from three different sources:
n
From the ECU
n
From the GPS receiver (optional)
n
From the speed channel
It is, therefore, possible for MXS Strada
to receive different values of speed at
the same time; the more powerful ECUs
transmit up to four wheel speed values.
7.1 Speed Read from ECU
If your ECU sends the value of speed in its
data stream, it is obviously possible to read
and show that value.
These ECU channels are enabled by
default in the software RaceStudio3.
7.2 Speed Read from GPS Receiver
(optional)
The GPS08 receiver is configured in
order to obtain the best performance in
terms of reactivity and accuracy.
For getting GPS speed, you don’t need any
configuration. Simply connect the GPS08
Module to your MXS Strada and, after a
setup period of some seconds, the data
will be shown.
