Byte[6]:4-0: Controls the shift LEDs. The LEDs are bitmaped, meaning the far most LEDs on each side of the display turn on if bit 1 is set, bit 2 controls the second farthest LEDs from the centre. A value of 0x1F turns on all the LEDs and make them blink.

This section documents how to control an AIM Mychron3 Dash display, using an RCP unit via LUA scripting. The following information is a sum up of reverse engineering findings documented here: [1]. Examples of LUA implementation of the the different packets documented on the Mychron 3 Hack page are provided below.


Packet 401h: RPM, Speed, Gear blink control, Gear

 function onTick()
   local rpm = getTimerRpm(0)
   local speedmph = getGpsSpeed()
   -- Assume the gear is calculated and stored in a virtual channel.
   -- Refer to LUA scripting example to calculate the gear based on speed and RPM
   local gear = getChannel(gearId)
   local msg = {rpm % 256, rpm / 256, (speedmph % 16) % 256, (speedmph / 16) / 256, 0, 0, gear, 0}
   txCAN(0, 1025, 0, msg)
 end

Packet 402h: Temperature/Pressure fields (bottom left of display)

 function onTick()
   -- Assume different temperature values are stored in virtual channels
   local temp1 = getChannel(temp1Id)
   local temp2 = getChannel(temp2Id)
   local temp3 = getChannel(temp3Id)
   local temp4 = getChannel(temp4Id)
   local msg = {temp1 % 256, temp1 / 256, temp2 % 256, temp2 / 256, temp3 % 256, temp3 / 256, temp4 % 4, temp4 / 256}
   txCAN(0, 1026, 0, msg)
end

Packet 405h: Shift LEDs, Alarm LEDs

 function onTick()
   local shiftLeds = 0
   local rpm = getTimerRpm(0)
   if rpm > 5000 then shiftLeds = shiftLeds + 1 end 
   if rpm > 6000 then shiftLeds = shiftLeds + 2 end 
   if rpm > 7000 then shiftLeds = shiftLeds + 4 end
   if rpm > 7500 then shiftLeds = shiftLeds + 8 end
   if rpm > 7700 then shiftLeds = shiftLeds + 16 end
   local msg = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, shiftLeds, 0}
   txCAN(0, 1029, 0, msg)
 end

Packet 406h: RPM range for the digital RPM readout

 function onTick()
   -- Set the RPM range
   -- Value  	 RPM Range
   -- 0	 25,000 - 0
   -- 1	 22,000 - 0
   -- 2	 20,000 - 0
   -- 3	 16,000 - 0
   -- 4	 12,000 - 0
   -- 5	 10,000 - 0
   -- 6	 8,000 - 0
   -- 7	 6,000 - 0
   -- 8	 4,000 - 0
   local rpmRange = 6 -- Up to 8000 RPM
   local msg = {0, rpmRange * 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
   txCAN(0, 1030, 0, msg)
 end

Packet 408h: Timing
