Motec GPS L10 transmit from L180 to ADU5

ADU

If I wanted my ADU5 to receive GPS L10 data from a L180 logger do I need to create a canBUS object in the Project Tree or simply set the GPS to the proper CAN bus and base ID to 680 corresponding with standard M1 output config for the L180? I believe the transmitted data will be in M format not Ecumasters format.

Do you only want to log this data, or do you intend to use the Motec GPS to enable lap timing functionalities in the ADU?

The ADU supports only the ECUMASTER GPS to CAN module for lap timing features. So, if you only want to log the data – it is possible via custom CAN inputs. However, using it for lap timing is unfortunately not supported.

I was hoping to use it with the internal lap timing in the ADU rather than the functions within the L180. The L180 will be doing the bulk of the logging and calculations and the ADU is serving as a display but I was trying to utilize some of the features of the ADU for ease of display configurations and to familiarize myself with its functions for future projects. This current project uses a Bosch M5 ABS, IZZE TTPMS, Motec (M190, L180, ride height, shock strain), ECUMasters (ADU, 2 PDU-16AS, gearDisplay, CAN switchboard), McLaren K-type alternator across 4 different CAN bus; so its already pretty complex and didnt want to add an additional GPS input.

You might be able to create a custom CAN output from the L180 that mimics the ECU Master GPS CAN format?

I ended up just using the logic within the Motec L180 to calculate the lap timing, predictive and gain loss and transmit that information to display on the ADU. I created three pages for the ADU (Race with driver info, timing and tire temps, Chassis info for monitoring sensors and Engine with most of the engine vitals). I managed to burn up all the buffer space for pages so I guess I am limited to those pages anyway unless there is a way to free up more buffer space. The trouble with sending a GPS clone signal is there is no way to send the LAT and LONG in the proper format from the L180. Or at least i could not get it to work.
