Custom Fuel Level Sensors | AiM Tech Tips

[@CeeJayCRX]

Considering this has been my only gripe with my aim dash, im so glad you've provided us with this how-to! I've had my dash for nearly 3 years without being able to read fuel properly.

Glad we could help! 😊

Aim should make a virtual test bench on RS3 for its products as a lot of configs required to be tested before implementing, am currently banging my head against a PDM32, 2pcs Mxs strada 1.3, 15kp v2 can keypad, wireless 10 button keypad, smarty cam 3, a gps9 module, data hub and all needs to work in line with link G4x xtremex ecu and man having it all on a test bench is a pain especially setting up PO,SV and then finding out hrs spent setting some of the stuff up won’t work, and troubleshooting it. If a virtual test were available without having devices connected it’d make life easier.

Not a bad thought but this would be a request the manufacturer in Italy would need to address. You could send a detailed email about how you would like this to work to [e-mail]

@@aimsportsdata i dont mind

Call me crazy but thank you for the info Bryc!

[@ultimajp]

You are crazy 🤪

If you guys had a forum where people. Could share knowledge, people would have shared these kinds of things a long time ago. Figuring this out for dual sender stock tanks was a pain in the ass. Thanks for the video though.

[@BrycTalley]

People still use forums? 😅 Nah but there is a Facebook user group that is basically that.

[@aimsportsdata]

As Bryc said, there is a facebook group that is basically what you're talking about. It's not run by AiM but there are a lot of knowledgeable people on there! facebook.com/groups/140815893249677

Great video! Im loving these keep up the good work!

[@BrycTalley]

Thanks man!

Awesome video, I've got 3 dashes that i need to do this w/one complication. The car has a dual level sensor sattle style tank. How would i do this additive to take into account for both sides of the track?

[@aimsportsdata]

You can do a separate channels for each sender. If you need the total amount, use a simple math channel to add the readings from both senders together.

I have a 12V Float Style level sensor from ATL. What would be the recommended way to wire and set this up with a PDM32? I'm assuming it's essentially the same as the 5V setup, but this is the first I've seen that a 2700ohm resistor is needed so figured I'd ask. I noticed there several different setup methods in race studio as well so was hoping for some further insight. Glad you guy's are putting together these much needed shorter tech tip videos! Thanks!!!

Hello! To achieve your goal, you will not need to terminate the sensor with a resistor. [You would only need a pull-up resistor if you're working with a resistance based sensor] You should just be able to power the sensor either via the PDM or another ignition source, ground your sensors ground wire, and connect the signal wire to a channel input. Then, create a custom sensor to map out the 0-12v sensor. The PDM32 is compatible with a 0-12v sensor range.

@@SabianLawrence Awesome! Thank you for the response!

[@ultimajp]

How would one do this with a capacitive type fuel sender?

[@SabianLawrence]

Hello! Thank you for your comment. As of right now, our units are only able to read a voltage range, rather than a capacitance range. I have found multiple signal conditioner PCB's online that look like they're able to convert that capacitance signal to a voltage range. It will not be as easy as terminating a pull-up resistor.
