VBOXmicro VCI as sensor and datalogger at same time

[jalfonso]

Hello,

I use VBOXmicro VCI as position sensor of a ECU.
ECU change the parameters of control depending on measured position by the GPS.

I wondered if I can use the VBOX as datalogger at same time.

But, when the VCI interface is active , the VBOXmicro do not send the data of GPS to the CAN bus.

¿Someone know how can to activate the emision of GPS position messages when VCI is active?

If not posible, I can disable the VCI and emulate an accesory of racelogic, but I dont know the protocol. Does anyone know how to exchange information between VBOXmicro and accessories?

Sorry but I'm a little confused by what you are asking. Are you trying to use the VBOX Micro to output position to your engine ECU?

No, I'm using the VBOX as a sensor for the engine ecu.
I'm using it as a sensor for a particular ECU that manages power in the vehicle (hybrid). I program the ECU in Matlab / Simulink.
The ECU communicates with the VBOXmicro through a private CAN network and the CAN powertrain ECUs via another CAN network.
I can read the values VBOXmicro position and use the position information in my algorithms when VCI is not activated.
I can also save a trace of the operation of the ECU when VCI is active.

But it would be fantastic to read the GPS position values while using the recording capacity of the device.
