M8 Operation
This section describes how to use the MDD with a MoTeC M8 ECU.
The MDD is capable of receiving and displaying data transmitted from a
MoTeC M8 ECU via a serial link.
There are two modes of operation “User” and “Tuning”, each mode has a
number of fixed display layouts as described latter in this section.
A momentary action switch wired to the MDD is used to move between the
display modes and layouts.
M8 Version
For compatibility with MDD V1.18, the M8 must be running version 6.05f or
later firmware.
ECU Configuration
The M8 ECU must be configured with the “Telemetry Data Set” set to 1 and
the “Telemetry Baud Rate” set to 9601.
Note: If an ADL is present on the same CAN bus as the MDD it must not be
configured to transmit to the MDD.
Connections
The MDD is connected to the M8 ECU via a serial link.
For wiring details, see Appendix F: Wiring to M8
