If so, PM me and I'll send you a list of the inputs and outputs to make sure that I need the E888. Then I'm ready to go. TonyG
Nope, not going to work. The E888 is only enabled for the thermocouples (EGT) and while the switchgear looks cool, it only controls through a PDM. The CDL3 is limited to the four analog and two digital inputs (plus three wheel speeds) plus any CAN data fed from the vehicle ECU.

I'm confused then. The CDL3 ad says it has "4 x PWM, switched or digital outputs ". These can't be controlled from the switch gear through the CDL3?

Maybe I'll have to go up to a SDL3.

Great... the pain never stops.

Peter's suggestion of an Evo4 with a MXL Dash is a great one. You'll be able to put any sensors on that you want and get the CAN data. Plus, it's quick and easy to configure using data hubs and channel expanders.

PWM=Pulse Width Modulation, switched duty cycle control outputs. No, not that I can tell. You would need to enable a MoTeC CAN expansion, then attach a PDM and the switchgear adapter to that CAN Expansion. Very different than just adding analog value (0-5v) channel expansions, a la AiM.

The SDL3 will accept many more analog channel inputs and is more powerful and expandable than the CDL3.

The difficulty is that the CDL3 is brought in at a very low (for MoTeC) price point with only the features that a majority of people use at that price point.

It's the same basic hardware and template as the SDL3 and even the ADL3, but with greatly reduced capabilities.

What it does, it does very well. But you want more!

How about the new MoTeC C125 color dash/logger? No more inputs than the CDL3, but a tidier package.

I think it will be too small to use as a replacement for a regular set of gauges as it's only a 5" display.

Any updates on when the AIM MXL-2 is going to be available?

Thanks,

JF
