Fuelgauge driving
Hello, in advance i drive no rx8. I am a private simbuilder.
I use for my project a rx8 tacho which I control with arduino and canbus.
But, i have a problem with the fuel gauge.
I found the following information here in the forum.
However, the new resistance values are read when the unit is switched off and on again. When turning the poti during the operation nothing happens. Actually should be the needle up or down.
Any Ideas ?
Best regards

It's connected directly to the second (larger) connector on the back of the clocks, pins 2T (B/O wire ) and 2R (R/L wire) are for the "Fuel gauge sender unit (main), pin 2P (W/G wire) is for the Fuel Gauge Sender Unit (Sub).
As far as I can tell from the diagram there should be two (variable) resistances, one between B/O and W/G for the "Fuel Gauge Sender Unit (SUB)" and one between B/O and R/L for the "Fuel Gauge Sender Unit (Main)"

So it gives you a correct and changing value when you turn it on and off...but not "live" ?
Likely needs a CAN refresh signal to go to the gauge??
In the e46 forum someone had the same problem. Unfortunately I could not read the 1000 sensitivities yet read.
