CANBUS control of TC

I see we are now able to alter CALs by CANBUS (Toucan or Syvecs Bluetooth), would it be possible for the TRAC to be altered by CANBUS as well?

For those of use who don't have spare inputs this would help out. (or is that just me! :D)

You mean TC?

No not at the moment, but it's not out of the question.

What is your I/O out of interest? If you've gone DBW then that eats up 4 inputs right away!But if you've got a phase input and seperate VVT input you can probably save one there.

Hmmm, you are pretty maxed out!

An expander might be worth considering, but for now a Toucan with cal up/down can give you 12 positions which should allow for a few TC settings.

However, in the not too distant future I hope there will be a few more easy can inputs.

TBH I would only want TC off and just a couple of increased assistance settings, so 3-4 at a maximum.

The main CALs would be a max of 8 settings.

So be creative with your cal settings for now.

So I can use the 1 CAL switch to also control TC settings?

Just had a quick look over the software, couldn't see how to do this?

By Default the TCSelect will change with CALSelect. So without a dedicated TC select switch, in CAL12 for example you will be in TC12.

I did usd to have a TC switch so I guess I need to change it back to the default setting to do this?

Does the bluetooth module allow TC, LC and CAL select settings ?

ie using it and an appropriate app would free up some inputs
