Is there any support for x27 .168 stepper motor yet? Or is there a way I can make it work. I've been shooting myself in the leg trying to get my ae86 dash to work. So far 0 progress, cant even get the simple fuel, oil temp and coolant temp to work either. Anything I try with the arduino auto sketchers makes the arduino become unrecognizable

I guess you are not using the native resolution of your monitor, when this happens windows (the os ) will move windows (the dash... ) around when game goes full screen a quick tip top avoid these resolution changes to mess up is to put the secondary monitor on the top left corner of the main monitor, in this way relative coordinates of the secondary monitor will never change.

I did what you said and it works again!
Thanks one more time

Not yet, but i have some on my desk waiting

, between many other things to try

Concerning the AE86 dash, I admit i'm not an expert so I can't tell which kind of signal /wrining or voltage is required on this one, but i would suggest to proceed by elimination, first unplug everything from the arduino and program the arduino without anything plugged on it, it will allow to check that everything is fine with it and nothing has suffered. You have the suggested pinout for the E36 available here https://github.com/zegreatclan/SimHub/wiki/BMW-E36-Cluster-Setup, it's critical to follow this pinout for correct operation. Not having the hardware plugged to the arduino won't prevent normal operations of the sketch so you will be able to see the arduino connecting and working. Then plug back your cluster gauge by gauge until you find the guilty thing/wiring. If somehow one pin goes to gnd for instance it could explain an instant fail of the arduino right after initialization.

http://imgur.com/gallery/E1fJLvL this is the pin out, the problem with the tach is it run by a 12v ignition on the real car which would be pin 15. Arduino can only output 5v and trying to figure out how to wire the 12v psu to work has been a headache since the signal is one wire I'm assuming which is the power as well. I ran each of the fuel, temp and oil right to the arduino board without the tach stuff and the 26 which is ground for all of them. The arduino wouldn't get recognized. I hope you get the x27 stuff soon. The ae86 speedo is cable controlled so I removed it and replaced with x27. I'll give that e36 pin a try

concerning 5v to 12v it requires a little electronics : https://github.com/zegreatclan/SimHub/wiki/Arduino-After-Market-Tach-support
I see that the wiring for all gauges specifies "sender gauges" for all gauges, i'm not 100% sure, but if could be this kind of sensors :

Those ones are not sending any signal to the dash but are only a variable resistor receiving voltage and sending it to GND . It also means that the pin would be emitting some voltage (probably 12v) instead of waiting a signal like the BMW cluster. A voltmeter should show it. It would also explain why the arduino gets crazy.. If you don't have 0v on the gauges pins when unplugged but cluster powered chances are big that it uses this kind of sensors.

I basically copied that guy wiring for 12v converison, it just wouldn't register on simhub with that person's sketch and I could not get my sim dash to work to confirm anything but I'm pretty sure I'm not getting any voltage, I'll have to check with a multi meter tonight. Should I be looking around for that sensor on the dash or have to get one? Thanks again for some help.

regards using rotary encoders are there any specific ones I should use as the ones I just tried only register every 4th click http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_75&products_id=191

I used this gentlemans video and his code using a Leonardo,buttons all work great just need to know why they only work every 4th click.

thanks

There are two main kind of encoders with different timing, it requires two different ways to handle them called "half steps" or "full steps"

This code (amstudio) is not configurable in an obvious way but adding the following line on top of the sketch "should" enable the half steps behaviour and it should be better..
#define HALF_STEP

Wotever updated SimHub, DIY Sim racing Dash with a new update entry:

6.7.2

Hi ! A little maintenance update :

- Rollback over a framework upgrade causing freeze and lockups on high DPI screens when using windows UI scaling for most editor windows (dashstudio, leds, screens ...)
- Workaround for some additional IRacing "malformed data" cases (team name containing "@" for instance.)
- Some CPU optimization over Iracing reader
- Fixed the arduino setup failing to upload on arduino micro for some very specific cases
- Fixed a memory leak when using the audio plugin to...

Read the rest of this update entry...

thanks,i inserted the code and it now only misses one step,i will try and get some more decoders.
do you think these will be ok?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FYHG...olid=3R55DITDXQSCW&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

also im using on my wheel dash 1 nano, 1 Leonardo, 1 usb ttl, and of course a power adaptor.

also,I have a powered 4 port usb3 hub on my desktop where I can plug these in..do you think I could get another 4 port usb 3 hub,stick this to the backside of my dash,connect all the dash arduinos etc to that hub,then connect that to the usb hub on my desktop giving me in effect just one connection for my dash?

many thanks.

Not with bluetooth indeed, I have bought some NRF modules for testing, they look much more promising with the current Simhub sketch architecture.

Ok, thank you! I also think NEF module is more stable than HC-06.

HI -----i don't understan how to configure a oled lcd,for to show what I want ..mhhh bad english

Flavio.Costa · Jan 22, 2019

I am using the led matrix MAX7221 and 8 leds WS2821B with an arduino nano (ATMega328) in the iRacing, playing, the arduino loses the connection with the program, does not get to restart, only loses the connection, every 40 to 50 seconds. Is it excessive energy consumption? remembering that I connected the two in the Arduino 5v

Hi, I am using these encoders on the Amstudio button box. The only issue is that the encoders are 20 pulses.

is that a problem?

Not really in issue.

Has anyone experienced an issue with OBS running at the same time as SimHub? My dash that is running directly from SimHub over HDMI to a screen is unaffected, but I run a second dash simultaneously via WiFi connectivity that stops working completely if OBS is running.

Would it be possible to get [....GPU_Core_Load] & Temp for 2nd card in SLI configurations?

Hello, I tried GOOGLE and the Forum here @ Racedepartment and the SIMHUB homepage but couldn't find any solution...Anyone an idea why I dont have the graphic card information on my DASH DISPLAY?
My card is a: ASUS GeForce® GTX 1050Ti ROG Strix

Hi You need afterburner up and running, you have intructions how to configure it here : https://github.com/zegreatclan/SimHub/wiki/Additional-Plugin-Afterburner
