    Thanks again @yobuddy. We already went through that however on 3/24/17 (previous post in this thread). The virtual output sends the correct speed values to the virtual output window as expected. Nothing ever appears in the serial output however.

    @yobuddy Do you have any more thoughts on what I might be missing? Again, it seems that everything is working as expected other than the actual Serial Output from Game Dash to the Arduino. Virtual Output works fine.....

    Thanks again for all of your help.

    The incoming data to the ard is just a string of the Speed value.
    Your padding to 3 and the car rarely goes 1000 mph (even with speed * 5) , so your 4th bit is never set?

    I would have to study your ard sketch to know for sure.
    But try changing Pad to 4 ( Pad 4 0)
    Then add a ToChr command on the end of the edits for that Dash output.
    See if that works.

    Still no luck I'm afraid. I've even tried using the 'Network' output type instead and setting up my arduino as an ethernet server. It still is not receiving any data from Game Dash. Again, it's as if Game Dash is not sending any output other than to the virtual window. I've tried looking at my firewall settings and disabling virus software as well, but again, nothing.

    Can you show me an example of where you think I should include a ToChr?

    Thanks again!

    @MyTPioneer It looks like your sending a string to your Arduino, but trying to read it like it was a binary value?
