    Hello there to all my fellow simmers

    I hereby wish to post what I have done so far with my simulator. Nothing really big but it is a start to bigger things.
    My project originally started with a program called freetrack which uses leds to make the the picture move ie tilt your
    head to the left or right and the picture does the same. This is based pretty much based on TrackIR. Hence the start
    of my project.

    My project outline was the following
    1. RPM Leds (complete)
    2. Gear Display (complete)
    3. Shift light using all LEDS ie flash them all when I need to shift (WIP)
    4. LCD display to show Lap times, Fastest lap, Position, Sector times (WIP)

    All this using the Arduino Uno board and X-Sim. So far so good for the first 2 and the next 2 are still WIP
    I am publishing just the first 2 RPM & Gear. I will put a video clip once I have made one. Will be pretty soon
    If anyone is interested I could publish the code but please be advised that the code is based on EAORobbies code
    and his help was immense in my creation. Hope you like this

    Hi, I'm new to this and I'm trying to do the project and led to the gear, I program the arduino with your code, and use the profile of x-sim that attached but does nothing and my LED display.
    I could help?
    Thank you very much in advance and great job!

    @sergioooo
    All no good here, Xsim no longer supported , we use SimTools, Now with GameDash,
    we have a few supported games for dash output but quite a few of the main stream have not been done yet.

    Welcome to use the translator mate.

    There is a couple of codes and instruction avail in the Resource section here, take a look, Start a new thread for yourself and explain what you want to do, plenty of people may drop through and guide you along and you can have a working dash in no time. Also this is a way to earn coins so you can download the tools needed for free, well come have a chat then we award you with coins to play, sound silly but its good way to teach people you give us a little , as in talk about your ideas or others and we then reward you with the world of motion sims.

    I do have a simple code for a 7seg display, what game do you use or want to use it on.?

    On another note introduce your self here http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/are-you-a-new-member-introduce-here.1737/unread first and say hello and what you want us to help you with.
    You will be surprised how friendly the forum and members can be.

    Welcome.
