Detecting the engine running about opentracker HOT 3 CLOSED

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Battery voltage should be about 13,3-14,8 if engine is running, at 24volt Systems it May be 26-28volts. But the easiest thing would be to hook up can-bus and watch rpm's, in this case you could get almost any data from the bus. Last time i tried canbus wasn't working correctly, back in the Tigal daysSo far,Ferdinand                                                                                                                                                                                                                Von: Mark WadhamGesendet: Donnerstag, 13.

It's just occurred to me that you can easily see whether the engine is running by the battery level - if the ignition signal goes positive and the voltage dips then it's just the key at position 2.  If the signal goes live and the voltage increases then the engine is running.
