I haven't received an email from you Brent. I would be more than happy to put in that adapter, if you can point me to where I can get it from and some general directions. Thank you so much.

I was able to get the voltage reading from the signal line and it was around .06V full and 1.14V empty. I put that into the computer and connected them up, but for some reason, when I connected the line to the Race Capture, it changed the reading on the aux fuel gauge by about 10%. Any idea of what ...

I didn't even think about the gauge having the reference voltage built in and it basically back feeding the wire with that. Thanks for that and the diagram.

The input for the fuel gauge on the miata is a resistance signal that does not have a pull up in line before the gauge. The gauge itself does it. My question is that since I want to still have a fuel gauge in the car and it needs just a resistance signal without the reference voltage, could I split ...

This is the OEM sender that I am tying into, but it is wired directly to my current gauge, which is an autometer digital fuel level gauge. I have gutted the wiring of the car and it is a single wire that goes directly from the OEM sender to the aftermarket gauge. I will see if I can mess with a mult...

I used the online calculator you put up Brent and I am coming up with an even smaller resistor. My sender is 7-97 Ohm and it is looking like a 100 Ohm resistor would work well. Am I doing this right? I could use a 240Ohm, but it would give me the range within 0-5V that a 100Ohm would. Does that real...

Thanks Brent. I will have to do some research on understanding what you said, but I have a few people that could help me that would are more than capable of comprehending that. I will be tapping into the OEM fuel level sender and possibly the OEM temp sensor. The Autometer Elite gauge I have for my ...

Sensors with resistance outputs

Forgive my lack of an even elementary of how these things work. My miata's fuel and coolant temp sensor both give a resistance (Ohm) signal as an output, but the race capture wants 0-5V. What do I need to do to make this work if possible?

Good to see you on this forum Bill. I don't post much on the chump forum, but I visit often. This is right up the chump ally and I could see it really getting some legs in that community alone. It seems that we have some rather intuitive people over there that love to tinker with everything.

I am Robert from Houston

I am currently using a G2X pro in both my chumpcar and regular track Miata. I signed up for the live telemetry model and I am beyond stoked about it. The opportunity to have live feedback for such an affordable price is exciting and I believe it to be a game changer, especially in endurance racing. ...
