DSC Suspension Controller - tuning and talk

[rayzazoo]

Thanks Ray! I got done with my part of a major home project Friday. That is going to allow me to get into this now. I am fired up because my car really feels good! We took a 500mi round trip with the Durango. I want the Durango controller also, it rides like a truck with sharp rebounds and feels bad now. Wow.

I know at this point anyway several things..
- it is not the DS unit at all and seems to have almost enhanced different and fundamental control.
- whatever the settings are in Sport Mode from the neutral ride to how it then behaves, I am going to like to make those settings my street (default).
- I have done a couple of these 90 degree bends also. Besides the perception you describe about firming up the sway dramatically, I have a 90 with a downward hill also. It makes that turn fairly aggressively (fast), and besides this more stable feeling the tires are silent!

@rayzazoo I need to understand a lot more around which screens (settings) and how we are entering the numbers. In the short time I viewed the “tune” downloaded from the car, I don’t see anything but blank entries, except for the first screen that has the % shock values and the acceleration screen. I have until Oct 17 before putting it on the track at RA, to play with the Track settings, and then want to understand the system so depending on how she works I can make some changes on the fly.

Can I ask for some help to better understand where, how and what is going on with the mA settings? Where are the fundamental rebound settings, or as we increase these is all that taken care of either to a lessor or greater degree? Let me know if you can help. I am also going to watch all of their tutorial library today. Hope to be smarter soon.

Surprisingly, most of my adjustments are on the accel table. I think the brake table is already good. The main thing is there are only 3 mA settings on the shock calibration table. You could go progressive but I think it'll result in softer vs. preferred firmer scenarios.

I've got a longer USB cable being delivered so I can datalog.

As a starting point. I spent most of the time understanding the 400, 200, and 100 mA transitions between accel, gForce and speed tables mainly to eliminate 400 to 100 mA transitions. That resulted in the following.

Sport Accel Table:

10-80% is 50.0 LF/RF and 20.0 LR/RR
Launch Start 50.0 LF/RF and 20.0 LR/RR
Launch End 50.0 LF/RF and 60.0 LR/RR
Threshold 1225



Track Accel Table:
10-80% is 50.0 LF/RF and 50.0 LR/RR
Launch Start 50.0 LF/RF and 20.0 LR/RR
Launch End 50.0 LF/RF and 60.0 LR/RR
Threshold 1225
