yes - simply because there is no control of TC CAL via CAN as yet (nor LC on/off) so it has to use an actual input pin, unfortunately.
That's me out of having Toucan currently then. I do not have any inputs available for CAL, TC or LC. Thats why I would need it all to be done via CANBUS or via the RS232 with the bluetooth module.

CAL and TRC switching via the BT module serial stream back to the ECU requires ECU firmware changes, I will have a chat with Ryan and see where we are with that as last I heard it was possible and was on the "todo" list
Thanks Wez

Just to be clear: it's not a Toucan thing...it's a Syvecs/Life Racing thing. Once it's available via CANbus, it will be available on Toucan.

Any news on TC being added for CANBUS or serial control?

A variety of things is being worked on for Canbus input. With a much wider range of inputs than just the TC or Launch it's taking a little while, so sit tight for now!

Yes, just not so much progress that is can be publicly released. It's a significant change as it's not just one value that's being added to CANBUS input but a whole new framework.
Cheers
