Steering torque units for Subaru DBC signals

[martinl]

Find ratios for following signals (Nm units):

• Driver steering torque: ["Steering_Torque"]['Steer_Torque_Sensor']
• EPS steering torque: ["Steering_Torque"]['Steer_Torque_Output']

analyzing SSM4 logs vs screen recording may provide some hints

SSM4, in NM. Field is called "Torque Sensor Main"

In cabana:

Nice, can you get some numeric values so we can figure out the conversion formula for dbc

Yea I’ll try and get a combined dataset with the can data and the ssm4 logs synced up

test1.csv

Here's a csv where i synced up the ssm4 data and the can data to the best of my ability. I'm not 100% sure if "Torque Sensor" in ssm4 is torque output or driver input, but it seemed to align better with our current "Torque Sensor" values in the dbc, which would give -0.012 as the factor.

Thanks, I'll create opendbc and openpilot PR-s if you have not done it already

Looks like EPS Steer_Torque_Output already has -10 scaling factor:
