Changelog

Version 1.1 - 31/07/2026

Clutch solenoids now use Solenoid Pairs 1&4, 5&8 to allow more than 1.5A

The OEM solenoid current limit is 1.5A, which is also the setpoint limit of a single TM16 solenoid output. At 1.5A of current, the clutch will achieve approximately 17 Bar of clutch pressure. Solenoid outputs can be paired to achieve up to 2.7A (It’s unlikely that more than 2.0A is useful). Version 1.1 hardware supports the solenoid pairing.

The cal file should be updated to use the solenoid pairs in the output config.

Version 1.0 hardware can utilize the additional current by modifying the wiring to splice the TM16’s solenoid outputs 1&4 together, and 5&8 together.

Version 1.0 - 01/04/2026
