Using EBL's progressive nitrous controller

Bob's nitrous controller for the EBL is great. I am using the update with a progressive controller and it works as intended. However, after installing the update and the new xdf file (Tunerpro) I am having trouble changing the nitrous RPM window. It may be a Tunerpro issue but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

Re: Using EBL's progressive nitrous controller

If the issue is that you can't enter an exact value and have it stay, it is due to the equation to convert the RPM to a BIN value:

983040 / X + 0.000000

This sound correct, I can change the value in the table and "save" it, but when I reopen the table the value has not changed. I looked at the equation in the XDF and it did have 983040 but I will recheck it.

I tried the previous XDF (V40) and the same issue was occurring. Strange because it was working before and if I enter a radically different value it will sometimes change. However, the previous value cannot be obtained. For example, the current value is 6144 and the previous value was 5994. If I enter 5994 it didn't change. But occasionally if I enter 5100 it will change. I went to the 4 cylinder table and tried to change the value and the same issue arose.

I did a work around by taking a previous tune with 5994 and made all the rest of the changes to update it to my current tune and it saved correctly. Strange issue to me.

BTW this began to occur when I was making other changes to my N2O parameters and also to the rev limiter and shift light RPMs. I raised them all and tested then went back to lower N2O RPM window and shift light RPM. Shift light would change but N2O window would not.

Re: Using EBL's progressive nitrous controller

In TP V5 you need to hit the Enter key after a table value has been typed in.

Thank you for the tip. Been using TP for a decade now and never knew this procedure. Man, I'll feel silly if that is it!

Re: Using EBL's progressive nitrous controller

Ok, I'm an idiot! Hitting the "enter" key seemed to make it work properly. Funny I never knew that before and have been doing it "successfully" for years. Maybe it was just dumb luck. Anyway, thanks again for the help. You always come through!

Re: Using EBL's progressive nitrous controller

Bob, I have found an issue with the N2O % staying at the start %. I noticed it in the data log.
On a few occasions the nitrous starts at the entered % and increases to 100% in the programmed "time" as normal in 1st gear. However, after a "lift and shift" when the nitrous comes back on it stays at the "start %" for the duration. On one occasion it happened only in 3rd gear. In the last data log it happened in 2nd and 3rd gear. It apparently doesn't always climb back up to 100% when re-energized quickly.
I noticed it the first time but thought it was a fluke. However, when looking closely at the data log after the "table" issue I noticed it had happened again. My MPH for that run was 6 MPH slower than previous runs and the nitrous % could partially account for the slower speeds.

Re: Using EBL's progressive nitrous controller

Don't shift so quickly Must be a race condition in the N2O logic. Please email me a data log where this is occurring. I'll fix it and get back to you.
