Hi Wotever!

I had a problem displaying Project Cars ABS and TCS states. I would like to display ON and OFF subtitles.
I have two display groups, but unfortunately I'm stupid and doesn't show what I should ... could you send me a simple example? I'm not a programmer, but I'm learning.
The problem

Thanks.

Hi ! To convert a boolean (true false) value, into a text you can switch in formula mode, and use something like that :

if([myproperty],'ON','OFF')

Thanks, but not working. Always shown OFF. Event settings is "ABSLevelChanged" and "DisplayScreenFor1sABSActive"? Sorry but I bad for English...

Oh, i've read a bit too fast, pcars (1 or 2) does not give abs level, you can read supported data for the current game in the available properties list :

Project Cars 1

"ABSLevelChange" is not supported, and "ABSActive" is not in the source.
Is there any way to work?

AbsActive will be triggered when braking (it's notifying the abs is acting right now) and will change a lot (on, off, on, off on, ...) under braking, it's really not a good candidate for an event i'm affraid

Thanks

Hi Wotever! Thanx for great work, and support Gametrix. I have JetPad with only 2 motors - motor #1 and #6. It's work, but will be good on configuration have two rows for #1 and #6, i.e. add motors by number not as a list, like on screen. Thanks again!

Hi !

I admit i wasn't aware there was such product So you said 1 and 6,

The new shake it is coming and on the shelf hardware support is more easy,I could add a specific profile for the jetpad even if it acts like a gametrix jetseat

By the way for those who are interested the first betas of this new version (for both shakers and motors) have been released on discord this weekend (see main post for link) in the #shake-it-annoucements channel

i have set up a wind sim with an Arduino Uno V3. I set it up through Simhub and got it working fine when i control the motors but when i go into any game, the fans pulse, they just constantly go up and down with no speed sensitivity.(i have set and turned on in menu). Even when i pause the fans keep going up and down..
Any help appreciated..

What board and fans is it ? It sound like a thermal shutdown/restart of the board

Im using this..... Arduino Uno R3 Rev3 ATMEGA328P Compatible Board
Motor/Stepper/Servo/Robot Shield for Arduino I2C v2 Kit w/ PWM Driver
with these fans... 12V 4000RPM 7-Blade Mining Machine Cooling Fan 120MM

 

[Mivec5RS]

i can run it 100% for 5 mins and its fine but when its in game it gets about 20% then stops and starts agin to 20%..etc

Do you have the rated amps of the fans ? I know that server like fans can draw a lot (4 amps or more maybe) When in game you will have lot of variations which will draw much more than when simply testing with slow variations. The board is rated for 1.3A and 3A peak (but peak must not be repeated too much otherwise it will trigger the overheating protection)
If you have two of them I would suggest to use outputs 1 and 3 (instead of 1 and 2) not sure if it will be enough if your fan are drawing too much but it would reduce the thermal stress by half (there are two separate chips on the board for motors 1/2 and motors 3/4)

OK thanks.. I will try it with just 1 fan and see if that helps.. if it does i will try putting it in to M3...
I'll let you know how i get on...

Actually that's crazy i could not find the Amps of these fans, i found this one which looks close :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/EASYDIY-4000RPM-Cooling-Computer-bitcoin/dp/B079G4TVKZ
it's rated for 2.4A- 3A peaks, definitely too much for the poor board

it is doing the same with only 1 fan connected to M1.. the fan never cuts off it just slows down and speeds up but i think it is constantly got a feed.. the light on the arduino dont change.(dont know if that matters.)
I followed this guide

 

[Mivec5RS]

This is the log.. Should it be saying speed 11???

I guess with less stress it gets back on work faster,
The fans used in this video were 1.2A, a perfect fit for the board.
The amstudio videos are marvelous, but a downside is that it hides many warnings and information I put in the official documentation

No no, each baud rate has a number associated here 115200 = 11, nothing related with the fans themselves, but still the log is interesting as it shows the connection to arduino is stable with no reconnects, so it gives an additionnal clue that the issue is occurring on the motor board.
A simple test would be to unplug the fans and use a voltmeter instead, you will see if the board is correctly working.

I can get a meter tomorrow but would not know where or how to test...
The fans that i got are the same ones as his.(i hope as i followed the link from his video)

Ah indeed I tought the first fan link was dead (invalid certificate). But that would be still the best explanation (does the Amps are wrote on the fan itself ?)
About the voltmeter simply put it in DC mode and plug it on the board instead of the fan, you will be able to read speed proportional values from 0 to 12v.
