I purchased the Video Vbox Lite with a Micro Input Module and connected the "CAN" cable supplied.

I have created a nice scene that displays Boost Pressure, Air Fuel Ratio, rpm speed etc...

I have followed instructions on the PDF for setting up the Micro Input Module in Video Vbox Setup. I have checked "lite" and then configured the Micro Input. Digital for RPM and two analogs for my boost pressure and Airfuel.
I have used the calculator to configure offsets etc...

Then configured the gauges to read of the right input.

My Micro input is configured properly. I have a body ground RPM signal wire in the right spot and two analog wires.

The Micro Input detects RPM etc, but nothing is reaching the video vbox.

I suspect the issue is that I have a Micro Input Module designed for the performance box with RS-232 Communication while I need a CAN version.

Is that correct ? or is there something else I need to do to get this done ?

I have tried using the other method and enable VCI and use the "load" option for CAN but I couldn't find the database file that is refered to in the manual:
MICIN01 CAN .dbc

where can I find this file I have searched the Net and your website...can't find it. Nothing is equivalent it seems in the database I have got with your software.

p.s. I find it very difficult to prepare the Micro Input module and configure gauges, I wish there was more gauges available right from the software and an RPM gauge that reads up to 10 000RPM etc...

The guys at Vbox USA confirmed my Micro Input box was the wrong model now everything works it's incredible to have all that info in realtime on a video...

I'll post a video of my 450HP snowmobile soon.
