    @SilentChill thanks for the code. Can you Show me your interface details ? I saved like that but when I click to NL2 the fan start to turn at full speed and it doesnt stop even I close the simulator. I can read data from Dash1

    thanks for the answer

    what is the settings below screenshot ? ( Below Comport )
    Do I need to write,
    Output - Bit Range
    Startup-Output
    Interface-Output
    Shutdown - Output

    and Pocket Rates ?

    Thank you

    @lcturkey you are configuring the wrong interface(game engine).you need to configure the right one inside the game dash app. dont have this so i may be wrong but i think i am not @SilentChill will tell if i am wrong

    hello

    is it possible to use two arduinos

    one for gamedash +tm3816
    and one for gameshash and wind control

    how do you set two different ports in game dash??
    i am already using one arduino + Tm3816

    thanks

    Hello,
    as far as I know there is only one Arduino supported via Gamedash.

    For more outputpins you can use Port expander or an Arduino Mega. But whre is the Problem using an Arduino for Wind and Tm1638?
    It will have enough outputs for both.

    thanks Tombo,

    Frankly i did not think about that.
    i dont know much about programming arduino.
    can we upload two different codes in one single arduino. And both codes would be functional at the same time via one port?
    i am not sure

    You need to combine the two seperate codes to one single code.
    Most will be copy and paste.
    If the two sketches are small enough to fit on the atmega 328 I see no problem.
    Did you have both codes you want to use avalibe? If you like, you can write me a pm and I'll help you combining the codes.

    I am trying to set up a wind simulator like in your post but I am having a little bit of trouble getting it working.

    I have everything hooked up and @SilentChill code loaded on to the Arduino and the GameDash settings as posted on the first page but I can't get the fan to react to the speed properly.

    All I can get is the fan spinning slowly.

    I hooked my multimeter up to the second motor port so I could see what was going on.

    Before I start the game I am getting 1.84v constant.

    [​IMG]

    Then as soon as the game launches it goes up to 3.79v and it will stay at that voltage until I re-upload the code to the Arduino

    [​IMG]

    If you have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to change the math value as the dash data for speed is setup for nolimits2 .
