    Hi Guys,

    I could find this forum useful for gaming and having fun, I have a small project for rFactor 1 to do.
    I want to make numerical display for the RPM , SPEED and GEAR by PIC Micro Controller.
    and I want this data from the game, I wonder if I can send the data from the internal plugin project by UDP to receive them by C# since I am not very experienced in C++, any one have done such thing?

    Thank you in advance

    No need we have a GameDash application.
    That does all that for you.
    I have an example using an Ard UNO and TM1638.
    Plus there is at this time 15 games supporting it.
    And yes it is compatible with the pic.
    Once we can see your code for the pic we can advise you on how to set this up.
    I prefer to use the Ard as PIC doesn't use decimals or -ve numbers, a bit of a pain. But can be worked around.

    LOL we are a group of friendly diy that build sims as a hobby, and love helping others to do the same.

    Ok lookup GameDash in the resources, I can give a value ranges for the 20 values the game dash uses with Rfactor if needed, but basically with the game dash a user can simply write very simple scripts to change the data to what they require and send it either by udp or serial(usb) to their dash of choice.
