    The problem is in Dash1, you have a Math *3.6 instead of Math * 3.6.
    Looks like you forgot a space?

    @Evan Rowlands have long time to use game dash but i think you don't have to change anything in the script only in game dash interface settings you have to mach the letter from the script(.ino) file to the dash output you get values IE if the letter for temp is C and you get values from dash 13 interface for temp would be C<Dash13>

    Game Dash will "Beep" when it tries to process a bad command. {letting you know something went wrong)
    btw, you can add edit commands while the game is being played.

    You need to make sure that the bits per second of the outgoing interface matches the bits per second of the arduino its connecting to.
    You should be able to peek in the sketch for the ard to see what speed it wants to communicate at.
