I've sent you a PM earlier, I'm not sure if you're able to receive those looking at your amount of posts.
I'll send a PM again.

RPM has never been a problem,
and your idea is easily implemented with a 5V relay,
use this kind of sketch,
add to the header to which pin the relay is connected (in this example it is 3):
in Setup, add the following code:
in the loop, add the following:

Code:
const int RELAY_PIN = 3;

pinMode(RELAY_PIN, OUTPUT);
Code:
if (rpm > 2500 && rpm =< 4000)
{
digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, HIGH);
}
else
{
digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, LOW);
}
many thanks for this - quick question does this need to be connected through the obd2 port or can I get directly on the can line? My obd is on use logging to the lpg ecu when running on gas you see.
also great code snippets - ideally I’d like to use a non latching rgb led button that defaults to green and the code you recommended - but if I push it I’d like it to go blue and give power at all revs, but if I press again it goes red and takes power away at all revs… guessing this is doable too?

Directly connecting to the CAN may be possible but I have no experience with that.
Others used an analog signal from the engine but I don't know if this is available on our cars.
Using a pushbutton and an RGB led is also not that hard,
RGB led can be an analog one where every colour has one pin occupied on the micro controller,
or a digital one with one or two pins connected (WS2812B or WS2813) and using the FastLED library.

My car also runs on LPG (Prins VSi), but the OBD port is not occupied.

i May pick your brain when I do this at some point in the next couple of weeks or I’ll report back!
i do have another rather odd problem you may be able to assist with… this actually isn’t a Jaguar it’s an l322 4.2 supercharged Range Rover (so same engine electronics etc) the entertainment system does a while back so I gutted it and modernised it - great… the only problem is the cluster time and date is wrong and it cannot be changed as the old headunit handled this - any idea how to set this via canbus?
thanks!

Perhaps it's in this thread but I've not seen it, most of us know what 'safe' voltage and coolant temp measurements are but what about the others?
So for both 4.2 and 5.0
AIT 1 & 2?
Transmission temps?
Oil level inches
Oil temp
Gallons of oil
Gearbox temp
If I'm being blind if someone could point me to the post number in this thread

the reflash went well and everything works...for some reason my cig lighter socket it dead, sure hope it's a fuse.
thanks again, you did an outstanding job with this!

The Vgate should go into sleep mode minimizing current draw after some time when the car is off. Red led should then be off.

Mine does this occasionally when it is close to freezing.
Turn the device off when you leave the car, and after you started the car wait 10 - 20 seconds before you turn it on (Vgate should be plugged in already).
Also be sure no other device is trying to communicate with the Vgate.

Mine connects reliably on first start up of the day, or if the car has been off for a couple of hours. But it won't connect if I've had the car off for just a few minutes, like the time it might take to go into a store and come back out. (I always lock the car with the fob when I leave it, even in the garage, to shut down the computers, but locking the car with the fob or not has no effect on the re-connection). In the case of a failed connection I have to unplug the vgate and plug it back in, which always brings it back. I assume it is a bluetooth thing and it it predictable enough that I just deal with it that way.
