New Build motion Sim

@RacingMatt,

I have done a little research, and it looks like my 2nd Arduino UNO is in fact a copy. So looks like I will be ordering a genuine one from a decent supplier. Thanks for the help

Look at the ither tab. What com port does it say

you're welcome!

Just for giggles I use one form DX and I know its a clone but it works fine for me.

Well I should say I cant use it wtih GameDash yet...cant figure out the output info...but I use some modified code from fergotech

I use the freetronics edition of the Ard found it more stable , lol run one on the model sim and TM1638 dash.
Some times its a gamble when buying no genuine. Oh well for the price ya get two , ones gotta work.

Hi Guys, just a quick one, When trying to use the "RpmGearSpeed_only___TM1638.ino" file for my arduino, im getting this error.

Seems I have got the code ok now, But now, when i go to the GameDash Settings, I get a message ""The interface connected to COM5 is not detected!"

Any ideas guys ?

More progress, Now I can start the game, and when I do the Rx comes on on the Uno so I assume it is receiving info from GameDash, but nothing other than the power light comes on on the TM1638.

Ok, I currently have the LED Rev counter working, but the number display doesnt show a single number. But at least im making progress.

So here's my settings for the game dash, any have any idea why im only getting the LED's lighting up for the RPM and nothing on the number displays ?

Here's what im getting in game

Any here are my dash settings, the Numbers light up now and change as i speed up and slow down, but im not getting anything reading correctly.

Im just looking for an LED rev counter, Gear number on one side, Mph on the other side.

Hi @Nath Older
I'm trying to set this'll as well All I get so far when I plug the arduino usb in is the word "dash" appear on the display for a few seconds then nothing.

However the arduino and tm1638 work flawlessly with assetto corsa with the in game app

Have you tried with different games yet ?

Hello, I haven't tried it with any other game no, just rFactor. Im sure someone will come up with the solution soon, the guys are very quick to help around here, its an amazing community. Im making progress slowly, if I learn anything ill be sure to let you know. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Hi @Nath Older
if its just rfactor you want to set this up for then take a look here
http://batrako.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/new-version-of-tm1638-hud-released.html

the same code will work with:-
rfactor 1
rfactor 2
Project cars
Iracing
Assetto corsa

I had to change the first line of code from this #define REVERSE
to this //#define REVERSE

so the tm1638 display was the right way up
and now trying to find a way to make the display show mph instead of kph
but it works hope this helps

Thanks Daguru

When I try and verify the arduino code from that download i get this error

try this file unzip it in the libraries folder but just to be safe rename the tm1638 folder that u already have there

Awsome, just got it working, Like you say, its in KPH and would really like it to be in MPH. must be a way surely. Thanks Daguru

I remember I had ard code for tm1638 and it was displaying MPH but I wanted KMH, so there was a line where I needed to add a multiplier for MPH, it was something like MPH * 1.6 or something like that.. So you could use that KMH that you have and divide it with 1.6 or whats the correct nimber.. Don't know for sure if this would be helpful to you..
