    Hi everybody,
    last week I worked on Elektronikjacks Tacho Controller, and I´m ready with the Hardware.
    First I tested the whole thing useing Hyperterminal. If I send a string, LEDs are changing... so long.

    Then I started X-Sim Sender, Profiler and rFactor, just to check, if Profiler gets Data from rFactor...not working :(
    Ok, forgot the Profile setting and the DLL Plugin File...Restart. Profiler gets Data! :clap:
    So I went to the Gauge Section and configured the LCDExports.

    Next Step LCDHype :eek: this is where the Problems started.
    Loading the .sd File was not a Problem, clicked Go, entered Game, loading Track, and then... nothing happend!

    Looks like I forgot something because LCDHype isn´t sending Data to COM Port. Both needed plugins (COMunicate and X-Sim)
    are in the Plugin Folder, Scriptcheck says no errors.

    Can somebody help me? I´m lost :(

    Hi, I´m a little bit closer now :D
    Now LCDHype sends Data to Com1 and the Controller is responding...
    But not as I expected.
    The Numbers of the Gear are mirrored and the RPM Leds are flashing,
    doesn´t matter what RPM the Game shows.

    Any ideas?
