Power commander V - speed sensor integration for crazy idea

Talked to Power commander support. Here is the response

1) Positap from the signal side of the speed sensor gets routed directly to the power commander 5. The support guys said 3rd input from the left on the terimal bus..I will have to look at the PC-V instructions to confirm. The unit has a weather proof jacket inside that you need to punch out with the paperclip before install the wire into the Power commander unit.

2) The autotune will work with the PC-V with respect to gear specific inputs. For those who have a PC-V with autotune, you're aware of the trim tables per cylinder. Basically you would now have 12 trim tables (6 tables per cylinder) if you use a power commander AT-300 dual channel autotune unit.

3) As for neutral. There is a gear selection input built into the power commander but since the ducati monster doesnt really know what gear its in and has no such input, you have to just utilize RPM and speed data. According to the rep I talked to, the PC-V algorithm defaults to the 1st gear map if it does not know what gear its in (like in neutral).

4) As for calibration. You physically input the data for the range of speed and RPM for each gear by calibrating the system at a specific speed. The power commander rep just pointed me to the help inside the power commander software.

5) Wire: Power commander rep suggested 18 to 22 gauge wiring for the positap. Basically the biggest size you could fit thru the weather proof tap on the PC-V

Seems like this would be a doable task with minimal material cost (posi-tap and wire). The rest is just messing with the power commander software using a laptop.

Life and work is getting in the way but looks like this might be a late summer or winter project for me.
