Tutorial SimTools v3 - RPM Dash Example (with Arduino Sketch)

What values do I have to change ?

I have led strip with 72 leds, Using RaceRoom game. When I start the game 12 leds (all green) lit up. More rpm the blue light up (20 leds are green, and after 20 blue leds lit up and then red lit-up max 6 red leds.
so the maximum number of leds that lit up is 46 while I ave 72 leds

I want default 3 leds on, then with higher rpm 25 green on, than 30 blue and than 17 red when rpm is max.

thanks for any help on this

@yobuddy

thanks for the tip

I have Race Room Experience and used this settings: Getbits 1550 5500 8 b. The ledstrip works great now. By default 1 led is on and with full RPM all 72 leds lit up.

Does the sketch go with the dof 2 sketch?

Yes, my question would be this, do I have to use another Arduino? Another question is how is the acceleration signal recognized?

From what I understand, the signal is recognized by the serial port.

Thanks for the info

Hi @yobuddy , Thanks for this example. I am trying to use the same settings I had in Dash for Simtools 2.x in the MSFS2020 plugin that drives a force feedback actuator (based on airspeed) and a wind generator (based on RPM) in the Dash for Simtools v.3 for the MSFS2024 plugin.
The FS2020 version relied on the converting of the return to HEX. This code is no longer accepted in the V3 FS2024 by the looks of it? So in the Output Rules it does not accept the TOHEX statement. What code should be used now please?

Many thanks @yobuddy !
Will try that this weekend and let you know.

Hi @yobuddy , so gave it a try. That did not work. Let me qualify, the Airspeed (still) works (it worked before without the Hex code). The RPM still does not work. I suspect that the MSFS2024 plugin may not be identifying the RPM correctly? I am looking for the Prop 1 RPM. It worked in the MSFS2020 plugin. For the MSFS2024 plugin you do not specify what RPM it is looking at?
At 8 bits the 255 is not enough to cover the expected 3000rpm range, I can see that using 16 bits my max RPM is showing around 32000. So it is picking up something but not sure what. My range, converted to Hex, would need to be between 0 and 3000. What coding would achieve this?
Thanks,
Roel
ps. the Virtual Output confirms that speed is being read and RPM maxes out at 255.

This is the screenshot for virtual window

Thanks @yobuddy , Perfect!
