Aux input ?

Post by Not Anumber »

The Mjlj v3 I am about to fit has an external Aux input circuit built on a daughter board in the case. This is wired to the Molex in place of the User Out 4 pin. There is a note this is a resistive input but I cannot tell if it is meant to measure resistance between this input and Ground or between this input and + Volts ?

Would it be best to connect this to an engine temperature sensor or are there other better uses for the Aux input? It is being fitted on a simple pinto engine.

It really depends on the design of the input circuit board being fitted to the case. If it has the necessary pullup resistor inside, then it's likely that a simple single wire to the external temperature sensor would work.

if you could post the schematic for the daughter board that would help. Let us know!

It does have the pullup resistor. I will fit a secondary temperature sender.
