After following the posts about the gearchange option, I am not sure where I connect my gear input to let the gearchange function work, I have set up an M141/M142 command to shift the transmission and have a pressure switch on both speeds to let me know it is in its respective gear, and I think i need to connect to the gearchange.0.sel input but am not sure how, I assume it is a net command of some sort.


I hope I am not repeating anyone elses questions, I am just extremely green when it comes to this software, but am picking it up quickly as I go along.


Thanks

Rick

I think gearchange only pays any attention to one switch (probably on the high gear) so it would be:

net high-gear-selected parport.0.pin-NN-in => gearchange.0.sel

Assuming you are using a parport, and of course the NN needs to be an actual number.
