The main rule to solve a problem , ofter valid in other field , is to follow a line from INPUT to CONTROLLER and finally the OUTPUT .

In our case the INPUT is the sensor , the CONTROLLER is the strategy and the OUTPUT can be checked on data acquistion .

Sensor Setup ( the INPUT )

To setup correctly the Gear Shift some simple checks should be made .

First of all the Load Cell Sensor should be checked :

1. Configure the Load Cell sensor ( menu calibration /load cell force )
   1. Set the Offset to the same value You read on Load Cell Analog channel
   2. Set the Gain to the value You can read on Your sensor datasheet ( usually 500 N/Volt ) , set the sign ( + or – ) to obtain a positive value on Load Cell Force channel applying a force to increase gear ( 1->2->3 and so on … )

Strategy Setup ( the CONTROLLER )

For Gear Shift Up :

1. Enable the gearshift from Working Modes ( menu Rider Setting / Workmode Setting )
2. Setup the basic features only ( menu Gear Shift / Gear Shift Up Enable )
   1. All Options = OFF
   2. Debounce Time = 200 mSec
   3. ReArm Force = 150 N
   4. Trigger Force = 250 N
   5. Min GAS = 20 %
   6. Min SPEED = 0 km/h
3. Setup the CUTS ( menu Gear Shift / Gear Shift Up Cuts )
   1. TDC Loop Size = 10
   2. For All gear ( included default ) Set Cut Timeout = 70
4. Switch OFF both IGNITION and INJECTION ( menu Gear Shift / Gear Shift Up Cuts )
   1. Set INJECTION Pattern #1 = 00000000
   2. Set IGNITION Pattern #1 = 00000000

For Gear Shift Down :

1. Enable the gearshift from Working Modes ( menu Rider Setting / Workmode Setting )
2. Setup the basic features only ( menu Gear Shift / Gear Shift Down Enable )
   1. All Options = OFF
   2. Debounce Time = 200 mSec
   3. ReArm Force = -150 N
   4. Trigger Force = -250 N
   5. Max GAS = 10%
   6. Min SPEED = 0 km/h
3. Setup the BLIP ( menu Gear Shift / Gear Shift Down Blip )
   1. For All gear ( included default ) Set Cut Timeout = 200
   2. Setup the whole table for Target TPS = 20 %

Data acquistion check ( the OUTPUT )

After setting up everithing here above , You can check what happens on data acquistion . You could setup Your data analyzer with following channels :

• RPM , TPS , SPEED
• LOADCELL , GEAR_POS
• CUT_LEVEL , CUT_FUNCTION , STR_FUNCTION
• GEARSHIFT_UP_SM , GEARSHIFT_DN_SM

It would be perfect if You can show STR_FUNCTION using a BIT MASK instruments ( You could check Your data analyzer functionality ) . Check the Supersport Channels Explained post for more details .

Now You can check if all “chain” work like should .

So when rider press pedal ( LOADCELL ) value pass the TRIGGER THRESHOLD , then the STR_FUNCTION must signal the GEAR SHIFT strategy active , and CUT_LEVEL must be 100 % ( for GearShift Up ) , and TPS move up ( for GearShift Down ) .

If something don’t happens like expected , made some step back and check Your configuration .
