Simple Dash on Arduino+LCD with GameDash

Because when I play LFS, gamedash speed output is m/s, and is an integer
So this number * 3.6, the unit is a multiple of 3.6 to increase,
If I do not want this, do I have to modify the plugin

You can try to modify the plugin, but if the game itself output only integer m/s, then you can do nothing with it even in the plugin

In addition gamedash currently takes only integers as input. Decimals will be ignored. So modifying the plugin only will make no difference
As @TOPMO3 said, those extra digits/precision may not be worth the code/performance effort. Is a tachometer needle precise ?
Anyway speed is changing very fast so anyway you couldn't read decimals and probably not the last digit either, unless you drive a snail

Nice Wheels, Jordan. I am thinking of ordering one with the orange & white striping (which I will be alcantara/suede wrapping, BTW!), am I right in that it originally has a gap across the top (can't quite tell from the pic)? Would you happen to know what that gap dimension is across the gap and perhaps even the dimension from the centre part of the wheel? This will help me determine the size of screen and button/rotary switch layout design.
Cheers

Hi,

There is a gap across the top, but I cut the gap larger, so I'm not sure what it was orignally.

Thanks,
Jordan

So this caught my eye so I purchased all the components and currently in a build stage

Thx for sharing your project
i ll try it tonight

if i understand all good, it dson't work with Pcars ?

Project Cars UDP plugin by @vthinsel proveded gamedash data I believe.
I didn't test the sketch with GameDash v2 though

Wow cool
i add only this plugins and the progam work ? so simply

Has anyone used the Nextion LCD Touch-screens yet? https://www.itead.cc/wiki/NX4827K043
They seem to only require Gnd/+/Tx/Rx (4core) cabling and have their own software to design dash screens (multiple) with button inputs for various functions displayed on-screen. So my plan with my wheel is to have screen/buttons/encoders/5-way hat switch (ala playstation joystick) on the wheel to run in-game/in-race functions. Am now trying to decide which Arduino (or equivalent) to run the setup. My question is, how many USB inputs can I run with the various sims & should I run this setup into a button box (which will also be built to handle 'other' functions/Load-cell handbrake/sequential shifter/pedals with one USB output) knowing there will be an input from the direct-drive (or similar) wheel base. Also, would anyone know which Arduino has the most I/O?

Hello, you should create a new thread as you are mentionning a different display device. It will keep this thread focused on the initial goal.

My apologies. Have new thread at https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/nextion-enhanced-lcd-displays-for-arduino.9947/ so if someone does have experience with various boards/LCD or just any thoughts on subject at all, any input will be most welcome. Cheers

hello everyone im having trouble with the code.. it keeps coming up Exit 1 cant comply to board.. any ideas

Hi Evan

Do you install all required libraries as stated in the OP?
If yes please post screenshot with the error

hi mate

ive copied your setting but everythings in the wrong place and wrong when i use 57600 everything in the right place but noting works in game.. the rpm changes to 300 just before entering the game on iracing but when i select a gear it still said N and the rpm is stuck on 300 any ideas

yes mate ive found the issue i think ive got a screen up now..my next issue is when iracing loads a screen with the shift rpm and speed comes up but as the server open to the game the gear indacator flashers off and the rpm read 300
when you go in game nothing is working i can see it working fine in simtools dash here are my settings i copied from here..

i found the latest sketch and downloaded it no worries its on the board but now when sim dash is running and you enter iracing it start going ding ding ding ding ding like im pulling something in and out of the usb socket...funny thing is any other time it goes ding it also windows the deck top but its not doing that...

ok ive got more info on screen now but the beeping wont stop if i close game manager it stops could it be a plugin issue and if so how do i delete the plug in .. i had a look but i couldnt find anything

has anyone got this running on sim tools dash 2.0

You call this a "Sample" Dash? You're being very modest here, lol.
