I'm curious if anyone has used one of the spare ports to light an indicator light when Automatic Mixture Control makes a flash update?
I've got a couple of LEDs on the dash wired to spare ports 4 & 5. There is a variable "amcUpdates" that can have a condition set to trigger something, but I have no idea what would be used. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bill

Re: AMC Update Indicator
Just for the sake of completeness, this is the reply I received to my PM to Philip Tobin on this subject:
Hi Bill,
I actually could not tell what the output values for amcUpdate are. I would assume by the name as you have that it is related, but I have never used AMC on a car. I generally use MS2Extra firmware with an MS2.
But for an indicator, you can assign any OutputChannel to it, it treats it as a boolean. If the OutputChannel has any non zero value, it will be on, if 0 it will be off. So if you create a gauge and assign it to the amcUpdate OutputChannel, you can see what it is putting out for values.
