    Managed to get this working with help from @soraz (the code) and @eaorobbie (pin advice)

    TM1638 (China fake) with a Funduino Mega 2560. (China Fake)
    Will replace with a NANO when it arrives (another China fake.. )

    (The whole china fake thing amuses me when EVERYTHING is made in China anyway!!)

    I modified the code a little to bring the G (gear) and S (speed) display in by one Segment
    So instead of sitting on 0 and 7, then now sit on 1 and 6.
    Also made the LED's "sweep" on Start up.

    The screen is just a black piece of glass from a welders helmet. It's dark enough to not see anything until
    powered on, and lets just enough light through to look nice.

    The box is just cardboard and gaffa tape for now until I can make something better.

    The box:

    In action on Project Cars: (excuse the ambient noise, it's the sim coupled with one hand driving!)

    Would you mind posting your modified code @Archie, I know others would be interested.

    Thumbs up for @soraz and @eaorobbie's support in getting it sorted, way to go :thumbs

    Sure. I take no credit, all credit to @soraz for the original code, I simply added a sweep for the LED's and changed the Segment numbers.
    I could have used a loop, but I'm still getting used to Arduino, so I did it "long hand" for the LED sweep.

    Code:

    In AC.. the Gear read out on the TM1638 is One higher than the actual game is displaying, so you have to adjust the Output in GameDash.

    The code for this (enter into the GameDash Pencil Icons for DASH3) is:

    TOHEX
    MATH - 1
    PAD 4 0

    This fails when you go into Reverse (shows Neutral) but I can live with that.. I know the difference between a car going forwards and backwards... :D

    This is the part in TM1638.h that needs to change to determine the pins. I used 24-22 on the digital connector of the Arduino as 5V and GND is also accessible from this side.

    Code:
    #define PA2 2 //D24 = DIO
    #define PA1 1 //D23 = CLK
    #define PA0 0 //D22 = STB0
    //
    #define TM_OUT PORTA
    #define TM_IN PINA
    #define TM_DDR DDRA
    #define TM_BIT_STB _BV(PA0)
    #define TM_BIT_CLK _BV(PA1)
    #define TM_BIT_DAT _BV(PA2)

    Hello everyone,
    I introduce myself, I am maphf60 and I live north of Paris, I am retired and I am passionate about motor racing.
    For several months I have begun construction of a simulator 2 DOFs.
    I use engines windscreen wipers 24v, IBT-2 H-bridge and an Arduino Nano. The steering wheel is a Thrustmaster T300 RS + 2 TH8 and pedal parts.
    To improve overall, I would add a display Gear (gear ratio), Speed (speed) and rpm (revolutions per minute engine). For this I use TM1638 + Arduino Nano.

    Assetto Corsa and rfactor 2: Gear and rpm are displayed correctly but never Speed.
    Dirt Rally Gear only appears
    Project Cars: NOTHING
    It would be nice if someone could give me the solution to my problems.
    Thank you in advance hello.

    Hello, Archie.
    How to driver 2 modules TM1638.
    What modifications should be made in the TM1638 library.
    Thanks and greetings.

    @maphf60 - Hello! I'm sorry, it's been well over 18 months since I last played with Gamedash and the TM1638. I've forgotten most of it and I ended up taking all that stuff off my Sim when I got into VR.

    Can't help :(

    Hello Archie is still maphf60 with its problem TM1638 library.
    Library: TM1638_v1.02.
    What needs to be done to modify an arduino library?

    You know another person who could help me.
    Acknowledgments and sincere greetings

    Great looking project! I hope I can get mine looking as good.

    Sorry for the stupid question but, if I was to copy the code below and paste into Arduino sketch, would this work for me. I am also using a Tm1638 and currently I am using an example from Joao Ubaldo to run in rfactor.
