Tutorial 12cm 12V 7segments gear indicator with GameDash

Cool Thank you @Matth.Gyver!
Go through the plugins list and collect what you find there.
We still can add undocumented dash data afterwards.

Hi Nick! It's detailed into the first topic: you will find what kind of arduino is needed and 2 links with the lowest cost supliers I found

Thanks Matt!

Great! I'll post it in the FAQ gamedash sub-section tomorrow

edit : done here
List of GameDash compatible Games
http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/list-of-gamedash-compatible-games.33/

@RaceRay : is it possible to publish a table? I have made an Excel list with items in columns but...

@Nick Moxley : yes, this should work as well!
it's Common anode and 12V

ebay.com @ 7$+2$

I've found it in red as well :
ebay.com @ 7$+2$

There is just the new value of resistor to verify or calculate

Thank's RacingMat
I hope you could publish in table format because actually it's not very lisible :-\
I wanted make an html table but the forum does'nt accept html code.
Otherwise, you can't put the link in the faq ?

How give you the writte access to the faq ? If I have this access I could do the update.

Let's wait for the answer from the administrator RaceRay!

Sorry, FAQ edition access is restricted by administrator (edition allows accidental deletion...)

I found a 3inch 12v display in my stock but it's common cathode .
It seem to be more complicated to drive it (mainly because it is 12v, there is a driver for 5V, not for 12)

Maybe anyone have a solution ?

Common cathode will require to source current rather than sink it... You will have to find anoter chip reference. Or maybe someone could advise you (as I have no computer access this week)

As 4" is better than 3" ;-) you could order a 4" common anode

I think that I'll buy a new one, it will be more simple.
I've tested a free Android application for RBR allowing to display only gear indicator.
On my old nexus 3 phone the size is approximately the same of my 3 inch 7 segments and I found the size correct.
I'm affraid that a 4 inch will be too big

@Cluclu : you'll find some answers here hopefully for your "8 digits and 8 leds" project and how GameDash is communicating with a Dashboard

Beau travail

Good Job. Thanks to share the projects!

Nice On,

I build this one & it´s great but i can not download plugins to test

Thanks!

Please share some pictures of your work! I would be very pleased to see them I could give you some coins

I will share some Pics when i am at Home

Oh how i wish i knew how to read a schematic and build little circuits like this. One day maybe.

No Problem, maybe i can help you a little with shematic but not with programming

Ok here some Pics

Only write me for help
