Data into M150

[The Zedhed]

Hi All,

I'm setting up the 100hz GPS to my M150.
Followed the instructions for the MoTeC calibration Setup but it doesn't look like any data is being received.
The car is in the garage (can't be moved) but even if satellites were not being picked up should there be some other values shown?

Thanks in advance.

your first image shows CAN base at 0690 ?

Does the GPS stuff not start at 0680 ?

I set it to 690 as per the manual for Motec

Ahh, there are specific instructions.

Not sure then. Certainly mine can pick up a GPS signal in the garage, not great but usually something.

That said, totally stumped on a car with an AIM dash and GPS...it just doesn't want to work lol.

Cheers Steve.

Does anyone know of another way of knowing/testing if the unit is actually working, there doesn't seem to be any leds etc visible.
It's just a blank box.

If you still have the old Syvecs....temporarily power it up and hook up the CAN to it ?

I made up a bench test lead for mine so I could play with it out of the car for testing bits and pieces.

The ecu would just need power, the two CAN wires to the GPS unit, and of course ethernet 4 wires so you can communicate.

At a basic level, power off, is the CANbus sitting at 60ohms ?

I had a load of hassle a while back getting comms with a Motec keypad that simply would not communicate, and it was just the lack of a terminating resistor on the bus.
I did keep the keypad as it was linked to a PDM, but I binned the M150

Cheers Stevie,

The Canbus is definitely working as other devices are comunicating on CAN 2 without issue but I'll check for 60ohm just incase.
I have tested the CAN on the M150 diags and it's showing as OK.
The GPS is connected on a node and so no terminating resistor required.

I'll try connecting it to the S8 instead as you suggest
