For ease of setting up the AIM series of
dashes, the Adaptronic Modular ECU can output natively in the
AIM serial protocol.
This can be done on either the CON
port or the serial OUT port, both at the front of the ECU. To make the connection, simply connect the TX pin from
the connector to the RX data pin on the dash (pin 6 on the
dash). The TX pin on the connector is the top-right when looking
into the front of the ECU. The channels output are as follows: Every 80 ms:
1
RPM
5
Vehicle speed
45
Overall throttle position
69
Manifold absolute / gauge pressure
9
Oil pressure
21
Fuel pressure
105
Lambda
Every 560 ms:
13
Oil Temp
17
Coolant temp
33
12V supply
97
Air temp
101
EGT 1
109
Fuel temp
113

In the AIM software, you must (a) select the ECU
manufacturer as AIM, and (b) the protocol as Prot_UART. (c) Select the RPM signal, speed and gear signal as coming
from the ECU. In the Eugene software, the output type for the port you
choose must be set. To do this open Eugene software and (a)
click on “Functions” tab. (b) Go to Serial Comms panel then
select Serial OUT. (c) Set AIM Serial as the connection and
(d) Output boost as either MAP or MGP. If you want to display
boost on the dash instead of MAP, then you will need to select
MGP in the software option. Unfortunately the dash does not
support having different units depending on whether the value
is positive or negative, so if you choose units of boost as
PSI then vacuum will also be in PSI. Thank you and happy learning!
