Rotary dial switch

Good afternoon I am in the process of changing my connectors on my old p8 loom to s80 plugs and whilst doing this I thought it would be a good idea to install wires for the rotary switch ,traction and launch. But the wiring diagram is showing 1 pin in for traction and 1 in for launch but I must need either a ground or live or both 5v/ 12v

Hi Jeremy
You need 2 pots, both need sensor ground one end and 5v the other end of the 'track', the wiper for launch rpm is to go to pin 18 of the sensor connector and the traction knob wiper to pin 10. This assumes you don't have 2 lambdas on your monster. If you do have 2 lambda's you are stuffed until Alex frees up another input for this.
I have my knobs configured for rpm to increase as you rotate clock wise for launch.
For traction clockwise = more wheel spin, some have this the other way round.

Same here but hope to be out next year with my beast with loads of up grades for the better I hope.
