    Welcome in my project.
    I'm from Czech.
    So this thread is translate by me and Google translate :D
    When I cleaned the workroom I found two guage from Škoda 120 and other parts suitable for fitting cockpit.
    and here I write some as Tutorial. :)

    So I have:
    Temp gauge
    [​IMG]
    fuel gauge
    [​IMG]
    some 7seg.
    RGB 5mm LEDs
    20x4 LCD
    Arduino Mega 2560

    Because I would like to do in the future 2DOF. I do not know if simtool able to send data axes and dashboard to 1 arduno. And here is my first question. Can it? if yes have to let free pins for monster shield.

    ohhhh THX for fast replay but maybe I write bad question. When I have got 1peace arduino can simtools send him firtly data for axes and secndly for dash .... comunication on one comport or I must have got 2 arduinos (2 comports) On examples isn't motions :)

    I used modified examples for experiments. Today, I modified the fuel gauge and measure the functionality and current. And it works. I need more time for this project :D

    last night i can't sleep so i dra scheme of dash :)
    [​IMG]
    On LCD will be menu where i can: tune radio, temperature monitoring (PC and sim tempeature) and other information from game.
    In menu I can move with joystick.
    [​IMG]
    the radio modul is TEA5765FM with antena from old wifi router
    [​IMG]
    The gauge wil be control ULN2803 there is where is 8 channels and I use only 3 (fuel, fuel light, temp) for now. But sometime in the future there may be more gauges.

    hello :)
    Ihave got the problem :D have the code from here
    but I add
    Code:
    int revled = 13;
....
pinMode(revled, OUTPUT);
...
if (carspeed >= 50)
{
digitalWrite(revled, HIGH) ;
}     
else
{
digitalWrite(revled, LOW) ;
}
    but the LED on the arduino (smd next to pwr led) isn'z turn on when the speed is bigger than 50....
    Game dash has the same congif as on link upper :(

    PROBLEM SOLVED in game dashI write MATH*3,6 instead of MATH * 3,6

    I have always included spaces, some games are set too output m/s so you need to * the value by 3.6 to be in km/h.
