Don't think it's your interface, the CD-emu looks broken and I don't know were just now.

can u share the latest ibuscomm source code, i would like to look in to it, my intrest is to look for implimenting the CDC emu. procedure and the AUX mode trigering the rear cam, for now the ibusscomm doesnt impliment these procedures or it have them not very well tested.

Please can someone tell me the iBus message format for the PDC command? (0x60)
i.e 60 0E 3F A0 08 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF E6 02 1D

I am in the progress of creating a Can-Bus to iBus translator using a little Arduino micro processor. The motivation behind this is I have changed from an E46 BMW to an E84 BMW and hence gone from ibus to CAN Bus, I really needed to get steering wheel buttons back before I end up crashing!

So far I can read back CAN Bus data for Speed, Steering wheel buttons, RPM, temperature etc and translate them into IBus style commands that IbusRR and IBusCommunicatoRR understand.

I am stumped with the PDC command at the moment as I can find no documentation on the command format and don't know what IBusCommunicatoRR expects

Ultimately I would be better off creating my own plugin for RR as CAN Bus has a lot more engine and sensor data available than iBus. But, I'm not a software programmer and I am still trying to get my head around COM calls and all that.

Cheers

Dear JanneH0,

It's been a while since I contacted you about ibuscommunicatoRR. I also replied a copple of time to the thread. I was wondering if you could tell me which codes you are using to get the communicatoRR to automatically switch skin to the PDC.skin. Or if it's possible to leaf the pdc distance informatie out of the IbuscommunicatoRR, because when I run IbuscommunicatoRR the scrolling music text doesn't run smoothly...and maybe when I leaf the PDC distance reading out this will help?

Hope you can help me.

Best Regards
Nick

Hi ,
Sorry for the late reply, havn't been here for a while
"FF" is where the value from the sensors are and here's the code.

Code:

Public Function SendToRRPDC(PDCIbusmsg As String, iniUnit As String) As Boolean

Dim i As Byte
Dim SensorRead As Integer
Dim RRSend As String
Dim PDCChar As String
Dim ResetTimer As Boolean


    SendToRRPDC = False
    
    For i = 6 To 13
        SensorRead = Asc(Mid$(PDCIbusmsg, i, 1))
            If SensorRead < 200 Then
                PDCChar = PDCDistance(SensorRead, iniUnit)
                SendToRRPDC = True
            Else
                PDCChar = "---"
            End If
            
            Select Case i
                Case 6
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCRLS", PDCChar
                    int_pdcrls = SensorRead
                Case 7
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCRRS", PDCChar
                    int_pdcrrs = SensorRead
                Case 8
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCRLC", PDCChar
                    int_pdcrlc = SensorRead
                Case 9
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCRRC", PDCChar
                    int_pdcrrc = SensorRead
                Case 10
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCFLS", PDCChar
                    int_pdcfls = SensorRead
                Case 11
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCFRS", PDCChar
                    int_pdcfrs = SensorRead
                Case 12
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCFLC", PDCChar
                    int_pdcflc = SensorRead
                Case 13
                    RRSDK.SetUserVar "IBusCommunicatoRR_PDCFRC", PDCChar
                    int_pdcfrc = SensorRead
            End Select
    Next i

End Function


Private Function PDCDistance(Distance As Integer, Unit As String) As String

Select Case Unit
    Case "meter"
        PDCDistance = Format(Distance)
    Case "inch"
        PDCDistance = Format(Distance * 0.393700787, "0.0")
    Case "feet"
        PDCDistance = Format(Distance * 0.032808399, "0.00")
End Select

End Function

Hi,
As said before, the scrolling problem has been solved when users have updated the driver/interface.
Check with Rolf if he can update the drivers, or if you know USB use the tools for reset VID/PID and use the default driver.

The "switch skin code" are: "6003D05AE9"

Hi,
I don't have ibuscomm source, but it's availible here http://http://sourceforge.net/projec...iles/IBUSCOMM/

If you mean IbuscommunicatoRR, then it's not availible for now.

Hi JanneH0

Many thanks for the PDC command info,

Trev,

Hi JanneH0

for the first time I've tested this plugin on my bimmer (e46). The PI well read the navigation informations, the rpm but I don't have informations for the speed, the consumption... I've tested with your skin and mine but same result.
Do you think there are differents Ibus codes to return informations. Could you get the ibus codes used in your plugin for all yours plugin variables as RRConsumption...
If in the ini file I put my ibus code and use setVar as RRcommand to set yours variables plugin, do you think that it's a solution?
