Butterfly Valve Control

Post by fcasanova »

Cars nowadays are using electric systems to control the Butterfly Valve (based on the TPS read) instead of the traditional mechanic control. These system is called drive by wire ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_by_wire ).

I wanna known if the ms2 code already supports it.

Thank You!!!

MS2 can be used with a stock ECU or other device controlling the drive by wire, but will not run the drive by wire control itself.

Lance is working on a way to get the GPIO board to handle drive by wire control, although I'm not sure on the status of that.
