Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:29 am Post subject: Rotax 914 TCU interface

Does anyone have any experience with the Rotax 914 Turbo Control Unit interface app?

I know the TCU has the on-board adapter and a straight RS232 interface lead will work.

Where is the interface software obtained from?

 

The TCU in question is flashing the yellow light, meaning an airbox/throttle position sensor is broken/disconnected.

Apparently this app will indicate which sensor to look at.

 

Is the software straight forward to use?

 

Thanks in advance,

Peter

     Your computer must have a genuine Series port.

     The software is a bit crude, but it works, some basic info is     available in the Rotax Installation Manual.

     We had some issues last year, and zeroed in on the wastegate binding     on power on due to lead deposits.

     Hope this helps,
