Simulated Wind using MonsterMoto and ArduinoUno

do we need to run a separate arduino for wind? or can it be run on the same arduino used for motion?

Guys these are my settings and it still don’t work. Something else I noticed is the speed on the car is not the same and simtool v3 dashboard

Stanley, I think you need to use these outputs, circled in red. It shown at the very beginning of the post. If the speed doesn't match your game once you input these commands and interface output then you need to adjust the Math factor to match your speed in the game (MATH * 1 or MATH * 5 will adjust the output to match your game speed. As I understand it, this factor is for KPH vs MPH

@Richard Ortengren should there be a SAVE button for this screen, if I leave this screen it goes back to a blank screen, I lose eveything i typed in

As Yobuddy told me, you have to click the exit button at the bottom and it will save. Not sure that it matters or not, but I put a space on either side of the * in that first Math line.

@Richard Ortengren i got the speed to match, what you said worked but my fans dont come on with car movement

can someone check the sketch I sent to my Arduino to make sure it’s right. I changed #define idle speed from 20 to 0, so the fan don’t run all the time when car is sitting still, this sketch do turn on fans but will not work along with sim

If the fans came on then the arduino and sketch is working. Do you have dash output turned on for the game? Sounds like the arduino is not receiving any output from the game. What game are you running? Has it been patched for Simtools V3? Is the com port in simtools interface setup correct for the new arduino?

If all this is yes, then you can use a com port sniffer tool to monitor the com port and see if any data is coming to the arduino from Simtools. I use this one and it is free to try:

Just install and open a monitoring session while your game is running. You should see S000, S001, S002 etc. in the terminal window climbing as you increase your speed. If you do not see anything then the arduino is not getting any data from Simtools and it is a configuration issue with Simtools. Hope this helps.

ABSOLUTELY dont know what im doing wrong, about to give up on fan sim, its not gonna work i tried eveything

@noorbeast https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-wind-arduino-sketch.14425/page-3#post-234646 this is my setup

Good catch Noorbeast. Stanley, have you tried changing the speed in the sketch to a higher value to see if your fans will actually run at a higher speed? I would go to 100 and see if there is a difference. Here are the fans I'm using:

@Richard Ortengren these fans im using worked with simhub but i couldnt get simtool and simhub to work together. they changed speed with the cars in simhub app, mine are 200 cfm 4000rpm

If that's the case, I suspect you are not getting any data out of Simtools to the arduino. I would run the free port monitor I mentioned above to check. It will take you 10 minutes. Download, open, start a monitoring session. Start Simtools, start your patched game, (get out on track), make sure Simtools has recognized your game is on, hit the gas and watch the port monitor terminal window. If you can't watch, never fear! The monitor will be recording everything. Drive for 30 seconds. Tab over to the monitor and stop recording. Now you can scroll back though the data. In the terminal window you should see a steady stream of data coming to the port. Look at the data and let us know what you see. Should see S000, S001, S002, S003 etc. as speed rises. If you are not seeing any of this then the arduino is not getting any data and there is a configuration issue with your wind interface setup.

Hi.

I have confirmed that this code works in SimTools 3.0.

Interface - output is 'S<Sp1>'. not 'S<Dash1>'

&

Interface - output is 'L<Sf1>R<Sf2>'

3D Speed Fans - Output Config Output Type is 'Interger'

If this is set, the left/right fan also works separately.

ok. so...

But the fan doesn't stop when it's on pause.

Can you check it?

ok... I don't know the cause,

Interface - output is 'S<Sp1>L<Sf1>R<Sf2>'

This will stop the fan. on game pause.

With only S<Sp1>, the 3D fan can't be used, but it stops well.

But...

Both ways will keep the fan running. to on SimTools pause.

WoW this sounds great. Thank you for your efforts!
Unfortunately I can not test before the new year because my MoSiRig is dismantled for complete rebuild.

I am setting this up and the fans are working with Idlespeed 20 and when I use idlespeed 0 the fan's stop. All good. When I start No limit roller coaster 2 I can see in the gamedash board that speed is increasing. But the fan's are not running. When I send S255 (instead of S<Sp1> the fan's turn at full speed and when I use S000 the fan's stop. Whats command and or extra parameters do I have to send to make the fan's work?
