Crashing?

[TXBDan]

Hi all,

I just wired up my ShiftX2. Night before a road trip to Watkins Glen of course. I wired it to CAN2 and spliced its power into the RCPmk3's power by soldering.

I'm using the provided shift ligth + alerts script and edited a few number to fit my needs. It seems to work fine for a few minutes on the road, but then suddenly it'll revert back to the start up light sequence where the strip of lights bounce left to right and change colors. It starts doing that for about a minute and then goes blank and is dead until I cycle power. I only went on one test drive, but this happened to me consistently through out the 20min drive.

I came back to the garage the plugged in the laptop with the car running. I set the shift light thresholds down low so i could easily see it work without revving too high. It seemed to work well. I ran for a good 15min in the garage playing with the alarms and shift thresholds and all seemed well. I then unplugged the laptop and ran the car for about 10min and things seemed ok.

I'm going to go for another test drive now.

Here is my script as it currently sits. There are no LUA errors.

Code: Select all

   setChannel(speeddiff_id, speed) 
end

One last thing i noticed is when i first hit the green threshold RPM, four green LEDs light up and it then goes to 5, then, changes to yellow, then red. Why doesn't it start with one Green LED and progress from there with RPM?

Thanks

I'm getting LUA out of memory errors in the log when it crashes so that must be it. I'm going to trim out the alarm parts and hope it works for this weekend. I need the rest of my code in there.

[TXBDan]

I deleted the alarms and it ran we'll all day yesterday. Probably 8 power cycles.

Unfortunately this morning in tech it crashed again. Hopefully it'll work in my sessions and TT later today.

Try to delete all unused ShiftX2 functions and add collectgarbage() to your onTick function. It should help with memory issues.

Regarding the shift light behavior, would you mind to try the settings below?

Code: Select all

function sxOnUpdate() 
  --add your code to update ShiftX2 alerts or linear graph during run time. 
  --Runs continuously based on tickRate. 

  --uncomment the below for Direct RPM on input 0 
local vRPM = getTimerRpm(0)
if vRPM < 4000 then vRPM = 0 else vRPM = vRPM - 4000
  sxUpdateLinearGraph&#40;vRPM&#41; 

  --update engine temp alert 
  sxUpdateAlert&#40;0, getAnalog&#40;0&#41;&#41; 

  --update oil pressure alert 
  sxUpdateAlert&#40;1, getAnalog&#40;2&#41;&#41; 
end 

function sxOnInit&#40;&#41; 
  --config shift light 
  sxCfgLinearGraph&#40;0,0,0,3000&#41; --left to right graph, linear style, 0 - 7000 RPM range 

  sxSetLinearThresh&#40;0,0,0,255,0,0&#41; --green at 3000 RPM  sxSetLinearThresh&#40;1,0,1400,255,255,0,0&#41; --yellow at 5000 RPM 
  sxSetLinearThresh&#40;2,0,2800,255,0,0,10&#41; --red+flash at 6500 RPM

I will be out of town for one week, so no tests for me.
