    Hi all, can someone help me get serial data across from Game Dash to my Arduino Uno?

    I've got everything setup from Assetto Corsa to Game Dash. The telemetry data shows up fine.
    But it seems like no data continues to my Arduino.

    Does anyone know how to write the simplest Arduino-code, to test if Game Dash is sending data?
    I'm thinking for example to have the Speed <Dash1> to turn on the LED on the Arduino board as soon as Speed>10 or something.

    Ok, thanks - I'll see if I can get hold of one. I live in Holland and Google doesn't give me crazy many answers to TM1638 here...

    But basically, I need all three: Game Manager, Game Engine and Game Dash running, but making sure Game Engine doesn't have any com-port selected as output. Only setting up the output from Game Dash.

    And if I use the output tester in Game Dash, setting it to a static value, I don't even have to have a game running to get that number over to the Arduino, right?

    Just making sure I've understood the basic connection setup.

    Hi,

    I have questions about GameDash : what informations can be get from game ? I think of course speed or gear. But for example the max rpm can be followed ? It can be useful because it changes a lot with cars...
