Arduino Module Programming?
any one have experience programming an Arduino Module? i have an Arduino Uno
i am putting together a "Tap" shift setup on my 04 duramax. i have a good grasp of electronics and what it would take to get it to work but have never really done any programming. i think it is based on C++ but could be wrong.
i am hopping someone would be willing to help me through this. i drew up a flow chart that shows the process that i would like to program in to the Arduino module to be able to make the Tap shift work
if anyone is willing or interested let me know and i will provide any information i can
thanks

Post up the diagram and I will try to help 
If the shifting is anything like the Jeep's AW4 automatic, then it should be relatively simple and fun to do.
I'm actually prototyping on an Arduino-based VNT controller right now...

Ya, post up the diagram.
Do you know what pins you will be using as input to the trans (which pins are pulled low/high to get it to shift)?
Do the tranny pins take a 5v or 12v signal?
If 5v, then you can just directly signal the trans from the arduino; if not, then you will need some sort of relay or transistor to switch the 12v signal with a 5v gate.

sorry for the delay, busy week/weekend
the TCM uses 12v so i would use relays to isolate it
here is a diagram. it is not 100% complete but it should be enough to get started
i plan on using the 1 wire that comes in for the horn with a voltage drop resister network (as a new clockspring is expensive). i have a steering wheel with the buttons that i will need to check the resistance on and determine what voltage drop we will be getting so it can be programmed in
to keep the horn functional i can have the Arduino board activate a relay dedicated to the horn, i will just need to wire a resistor to the current contacts in the steering wheel for the horn button
i will finish the circuit and upload it shortly
thanks for your help
