Introduction

Parts in the Kit

In the kit you will receive:

ShiftX2 module
2 M2x5mm screws for enclosure assembly
2 #6 screws for surface mounting

(3D printed enclosure not included)

Dimensions

ShiftX3 bare board: 114 x 27mm (4.48 x 1.06 inches)
ShiftX3 with enclosure 136 x 32 x 9.46 mm (5.35 x 1.26 x .37 inches)

Installation

ShiftX3 is designed to be surface mounted with the companion enclosure, or it can be embedded into your dashboard in a custom installation.

Printing the enclosure

The enclosure can be 3D printed by downloading the printer files.

File:Shiftx3 enclosure rev A.zip

The enclosure consists of the following parts:

shiftx3.stl : Main housing for ShiftX3 - Qty 1 needed
shiftx3_back_3dprint: Back cover for housing - Qty 1 needed
shiftx3_light_pipe.stl: Light pipe for LEDs - Qty 9 needed
shiftx3_light_pipe_photosensor.stl: Light pipe for photosensor - Qty 1 needed

Printing the enclosure

Color and material are not critical for the enclosure; however we recommend ABS.

Printing light pipes

Print the 9 LED light pipes and 1 photosensor light pipe in clear filament. PETG is recommended for optical clarity.

Enclosure clean up

Ensure extra filament is completely removed from the inside of the enclosure and is completely clean, so ShiftX3 board can fit flush and level inside the enclosure.

3D printing notes

Print extra light pipes and print with a brim to purge heat-scorched / darkened filament from the extruder.
Avoid printing just one light pipe at a time - printing just one will cause the part to sag and deform due to concentrated heat in the small part. We recommend you print at least 4 at a time to ensure heat is distributed across the parts and retain dimensional accuracy.

Assembling the enclosure

Install light pipes

Press the LED light pipes into the enclosure from the back side, ensuring they are flush with the front.

Note -The LED light pipes have a small lip that locks into the back surface.

Press the photo sensor light pipe into the front of the enclosure. There should be a tight interference fit; if there is not, use a tiny drop of super glue from the back side of the enclosure to secure it.

Install ShiftX3

Install ShiftX3 into the back of the enclosure, guiding the switches into their respective hole.

Note - Take care to not torque the switch handles sideways to prevent damage.

Gently press the back of ShiftX3 board so that it is fully seated into the enclosure. There should be a 0.5mm lip around the back of the enclosure where the back plate will lock into place.

Install the back panel of ShiftX3 so the shallow lip of the back panel sits within the recess of the ShiftX3 enclosure.

When pressed together, there should be no gap between the enclosure and the back plate. If there is, check the inside of the enclosure to clean up any additional 3D printed filament.

Secure the back plate using the two M2x5mm screws. Do not over-torque.

Connection and Installation

Mounting ShiftX3

Attach ShiftX2 with the mounting screws and tighten until snug.

Integration with RaceCapture / PodiumConnect

Suggested parts:

RJ45 Splitter "Hub" shaped
RJ45 network cable Flat style round style
- Note Any standard CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable should work, so long as it is not a cross-over cable.

Patching the RJ45 cable to ShiftX2

You will need to splice ShiftX2 to the conductors of the patch cable. Start by snipping the RJ45 connector off the end of a patch cable, and then expose the individual wires.

RJ45 power and CAN connection pinout
ShiftX2 connection	RaceCapture Connection	CAT5 EIA-T568B RJ45 cable
Red	+12v	Brown
White	Ground	Orange/White
No Connection	CAN 1 High	Orange
No Connection	CAN 1 Low	Green/White
Black	CAN 2 High	Blue
Yellow	CAN 2 Low	Blue/White

Note: These color codes assume EIA-T568B RJ45 cable (check printing on the cable to confirm)

CAN Termination

CAN termination is enabled by default. To disable termination, cut the CAN Term jumper on the bottom of ShiftX3.

Powering and Connecting to RaceCapture

Scripts

The following scripts assume ShiftX2 is connected to the 2nd CAN bus, and is the first ShiftX2 on the bus (ADR1 jumper default setting)

Disco Lights Demo

This is a test script that exercises all of the LEDs on ShiftX2. You can use this as a first time test, as it does not rely on any sensors.

Predictive Lap Timer Indicator

This script enables predictive lap time visualization.

How it works

A bar extends left or right from the center of the linear graph:

Green bar extending to the right indicates you're beating the best time
Red bar extending to the left means you're falling behind.
When you're close to the best time, the center blue LED illuminates.

Notes:

The script is designed for a +/- 10 second maximum delta - so if you're ahead or behind by 10 seconds, the linear graph will be fully illuminated center-right, or center-left.
You will need to complete a a full lap to train the predictive timer before the graph will update.

Boost Gauge

This script visualizes a single analog input channel on the linear graph.

How it works

The script configures the linear graph, then reads an analog channel and updates the graph with the current value. In this case, the value represents boost level measured from a MAP sensor.

Assumptions

MAP sensor channel is on the first Analog channel, and reads in KPa - typically 0-255. You can also connect this to the MAP reading on OBDII (PID 11)

Only Alerts

This script enables 3 alert channels:

Left alert for oil pressure
Right alert for engine temperature
Center alert for Air/Fuel ratio

How it works

The script configures the left and right alert indicators, then configures the center graph to visualize safe and dangerous AFR ranges. During operation, the analog channels for oil pressure and engine temperature are read and updates the alert indicators. The AFR channel is read and updates the linear graph.

ShiftX2 CAN bus API

Overview

The CAN bus API provides the configuration and control interface for ShiftX2.

Two styles of control are available:

Low level control of LEDs - the ability to discretely set LED color and flash behavior
High level control - configuring alert thresholds and linear graph up front, and then providing simple value updates

CAN Messages

CAN base ID

CAN base ID is 0xE3600 (931328)

Cutting the jumper ADR1 will add 256 to the base ID, allowing up to two ShiftX2 displays on the same CAN bus.

CAN Baud rate

500K and 1MB rates are supported.

500K is enabled by default; cut the jumper ADR2 on the bottom of ShiftX2 to enable 1MB.

Configuration / Runtime Options

CAN ID: Base + 0

Offset	What	Value
0	Total LEDs	Total number of LEDs on the device
1	Alert Indicators	Number of logical alert indicators
2	Linear Bar Graph Length	Number of LEDs in linear graph
3	Major Version	Firmware major version number
4	Minor Version	Firmware minor version number
5	Patch Version	Firmware patch version number

Statistics

Statistics information, broadcast periodically by device

CAN ID: Base + 2

Offset	What	Value
0	Major Version	Firmware major version number
1	Minor Version	Firmware minor version number
2	Patch Version	Firmware patch version number

Set Configuration Parameters Group 1

Sets various configuration options.

CAN ID: Base + 3

Offset	What	Value
0	Brightness	0 - 100; 1 = dimmest; 100 = brightest; 0 = automatic brightness control using built-in light sensor.
1	Automatic brightness scaling (Optional)	0-255; default=51. adjust this value to adjust the relative gain of the built-in light sensor when in automatic brightness mode.

Set Discrete LED

A low level function to directly set any LED on the device.

CAN ID: Base + 10

Offset	What	Value
0	LED index	0 -> # of LEDs on device
1	Number of LEDs to set	0 -> # of LEDs on device (0 = set all remaining)
2	Red	0 - 255
3	Green	0 - 255
4	Blue	0 - 255
5	Flash	0-10Hz (0 = full on)

Alert Indicators

Alert Indicators are typically single LEDs or a group of LEDs treated as one logical unit. This is defined by the hardware configuration of the device.

Set Alert

Directly set an alert indicator

CAN ID: Base + 20

Offset	What	Value
0	Alert ID	0 -> # of Alert indicators
1	Red	0 - 255
2	Green	0 - 255
3	Blue	0 - 255
4	Flash	0-10Hz (0 = full on)

Set Alert Threshold

Configures an alert threshold. Up to 5 thresholds can be configured per alert indicator.

Notes:

If the current value is greater than the last threshold, then the last threshold is selected.
The first threshold may have a threshold value >= 0; remaining thresholds must be > 0

CAN ID: Base + 21

Offset	What	Value
0	Alert ID	0 -> # of Alert indicators
1	Threshold ID	0 - 4
2	Threshold (low byte)
3	Threshold (high byte)
4	Red	0 - 255
5	Green	0 - 255
6	Blue	0 - 255
7	Flash Hz	0 - 10 (0 = full on)

Update Current Alert Value

Updates the current value for an alert indicator. The configured alert thresholds will be applied to the current value.

CAN ID: Base + 22

Offset	What	Value
0	Alert ID	0 -> # of Alert indicators
1	Value (low byte)
2	Value (high byte)

Linear Graph

The linear graph mode provides visualizations for common scenarios:

Sequential RPM shift light where the progression is stepped
Linear bar graph to linearly indicate a sensor value
Center left/right graph to indicate +/- performance against a reference - such as visualizing current predictive time vs best time

Power up default configuration

Upon power up the linear graph is configured:

Rendering style: left->right
Linear style: stepped
Low Range: 0
High Range: N/A
Threshold :
- Threshold value: 3000 / segment length: 3 / color RGB: (0, 255, 0) / flash: 0
- Threshold value: 5000 / segment length: 5 / color RGB: (0, 255, 255) / flash: 0
- Threshold value: 7000 / segment length: 7 / color RGB: (255, 0, 0) / flash: 5

Configure Linear Graph

Configures the options for the linear graph portion of the device.

Rendering style:

If left->right, linear graph illuminates left to right
If centered, values below the mid-point in the range extend from the center to the left, and values above the mid-point extend from the center to the right.
If right->left, linear graph illuminates right to left

Linear style:

if smooth, graph length is updated smoothly by interpolating the current value in-between LEDs
If stepped, creates the visual effect of stepped progressions by setting the segment length of the threshold configuration. High Range of configuration is ignored.

CAN ID: Base + 40

Offset	What	Value
0	Rendering Style	0 = left->right, 1=center, 2=right->left
1	Linear Style	0 = Smooth / interpolated, 1 = stepped
2	Low Range (low byte)
3	Low Range (high byte)
4	High Range (low byte)	(ignored if linear style = stepped)
5	High Range (high byte)	(ignored if linear style = stepped)

Set Linear Graph Threshold

Configures a linear threshold. Up to 5 thresholds can be configured

Notes:

If the current value is greater than the last threshold, then the last threshold is selected.
The first threshold may have a threshold value >= 0; remaining thresholds must be > 0

CAN ID: Base + 41

Offset	What	Value
0	Threshold ID	0 - 4
1	Segment Length	0 -> # of LEDs on device (ignored if linear style is ‘smooth’)
2	Threshold (low byte)
3	Threshold (high byte)
4	Red	0 - 255
5	Green	0 - 255
6	Blue	0 - 255
7	Flash Hz	0 - 10 (0 = full on)

Update Current Linear Graph Value

Updates the current value for the linear graph

CAN ID: Base + 42

Offset	What	Value
0	Value (low byte)
1	Value (high byte)

Notifications

Notifications related to events broadcasted from ShiftX2

Button State

Indicates a change in the button state

CAN ID: Base + 60

Offset	What	Value
0	Button state	1 = button is pressed; 0 = button
