Re: AA80E 8-speed

Looks like the use of LED outputs for anything other than the display requires coding. Since that's not something I can do there's that option gone. So, what's left? I will look at the possibility of running without some of the shifter solenoids. Maybe it is possible to operate in 2 or 3 gears. If I...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

OK, I've switched the jumpers now so that the LED2 output goes to the EGT2 circuit which is wired to an off-board transistor and out to the Shift Trigger solenoid SR. LED3 output goes to VB1 which is configured to drive the Clutch 2 solenoid SL2. PT6 is jumpered to VR2 for Paddle upshift per normal ...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

I think I've taken this as far as I can go. I want to thank everyone for tolerating me while I've been working through it. But as matters stand I do not feel the Mshift can be configured as a full featured controller for the Toyota 8 speed as the code now exists. I have no confidence that I am remot...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

I have taken up the study of "C" programming language, as that seems to be my most reliable option at this time, if perhaps also the slowest one. I'm a poor student of programming. I've proven that over and over again in the past. So I know it will be slow going. But, so far I have found n...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Nope, got that wrong too. PT5 and PT0 need to be inputs. all others outputs. So, if I have this right?

Pins:
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
binary
1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0
hex
0xDE

So DDRT= 0xDE?

Improper syntax I'm guessing.

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Or would it be 0x5F?

0101 1111
pins
7654 3210

Re: AA80E 8-speed

I have found this by Manjeera Jeedigunta: bset DDRA,$81 ; configure Port A pin 7 and 1 for output From Freescale Mosaic: PORTT is an 8-bit digital I/O port configurable as input or output on a bit-by-bit basis. The PT0-7 signals are available on the Digital Field Header on the PDQ Board. Any or all ...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Thanks, that helps. In this case it would be DDRT. Port "T" has pins PT0-7. From the MC9S12P128 reference manual, DDRT is memory mapped to the 0x0242 location, with the bit numbers corresponding to the pin numbers (Bit 7 = PT7, to Bit 0 = PT0) Does this mean that pin PT5 would be 0x02425? ...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

OK, what I'm wondering about this is, does it require revision of the code to output multiplexed signals? I presume you intend to use the existing shift tables and shift logic and output the commanded gear as a numerical output on the digital lines the same as the LED outputs for the gear position i...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

John, this is pretty interesting and I will look it over more closely over the weekend. On first look the one thing I would mention is, do not overlook the shift trigger solenoid. I think it is SLT. The transmission will not come out of Limp mode without it. As I understand it, SLT is a PWM solenoid...
