How to read an input port? For A/C control
How can one read an input, like NitrousIn, and actuate the AC clutch on Injector H, if the RPM < 6000? I couldn't find a way to do this.
Assume an MS3X. Is this possible?
Thanks

yes, sort of.
the MS3 has an A/C idle up function.
it works like this:
1. you close a switch to ground on nitrous in
2. the idle algorithm increases the idle duty by your chosen amount
3. after your chosen delay, it activates your chosen output (inj H in your case)
4. when your switch breaks with ground, the idle duty goes back down by the above amount.

The a/c shutoff conditions built into MS3 code are for a/c deactivation over X% throttle position or Y MPH VSS. It does not have an RPM based deactivation.
If you must have RPM base, instead of using the a/c function, you could set up a 2 condition generic output. Condition 1 would be the input pulled low. Condition 2 would be RPM < your threshold.

Thanks for everyone's explanation. What I was trying to do is:
If NitrousIn = 0 and TPS < 70% WOT turn on AC clutch
If NitrousIn = 0 and TPS > 70% WOT (high load) turn off AC clutch
If NitrousIn = 1 (miata AC off) turn off AC clutch
If T > 105C (or whatever is the right value), turn on AC fan.
I wanted to avoid hard wiring the AC clutch to the AC switch. I had hard wired the AC circuit on my TEC3. I'd much rather have the AC behave as above.
