    hello people
    I have a home cockpit controller jack with a speedometer of electronics.
    So now I wanted to try something yourself and that would be electronically reversible also possible with this board? http://store.arduino.cc/eu/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_12&products_id=245
    Sorry for the bad englisch i use google Translater =(

    hallo leute
    Ich habe ein home cockpit mit einen tacho controller von Elektronik jack.
    So nun wollte ich mal selbst etwas testen und zwar wäre die ansteuerung auch mit diesen bord Möglich? http://store.arduino.cc/eu/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_12&products_id=245

    Yes its coming to SimTools we already use an UNO hooked to a TM1638, the app is nearly complete, ie testing going very well, My original Arduino code will work on any Arduino compatible board.
    And as SimTools goes public this code and information will be public too.
    http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/dashboard-support.4727/
    We have even been able to drive servos and steppers as well as simple lcds.
    What is you plan maybe I could help you along.

    Google translation.

    Ja, es kommt zu SimTools wir nutzen bereits eine UNO angeschlossen an einen TM1638, die App fast komplett, dh die Prüfung geht sehr gut, wird Meine ursprüngliche Arduino-Code auf jedem Arduino kompatibles Board arbeiten.
    Und wie SimTools die Öffentlichkeit geht dieser Code und Informationen werden der Öffentlichkeit auch.
    http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/dashboard-support.4727/
    Wir haben sogar in der Lage, Servos und Stepper sowie einfache LCDs fahren.
    Was ist Ihnen bei der Planung, vielleicht könnte ich Ihnen zu helfen zusammen.

    So I'm planning a tachometer BMW E36 complete with all consumption to control lights currently.
    And two additional instruments (oil pressure, boost pressure)
    A part of the code I have already gotten together.


    Also ich habe vor einen tacho BMW E36 komplett mit allen leuchten momentan verbrauch anzusteuern.
    Sowie 2 zusatz instrumente (Öl druck, Lade Druck)
    Einen teil von dem code habe ich schon zusammen bekommen.

    Well you are half way there if you can drive the tacho via the ard and turn the lights on and off, from there we can then use the Dash App that coming to sync the data from game to the Ard, actually that's the easy part with the new app that Yobuddy is working on. I have tested it for him and its quite easy for a user to set values and scripts with little programming knowledge.

    The app is not available for download at the moment we need to finalize the release of SimTools as I have said above, then we can step back to the app and do final bug tests. But this is close.
    At this time there is only a few games like Race07, Gtr 1 & 2, Rfactor series and LFS that we have run tests on all have worked so far. But delayed because of SimTools public release. Sorry.

    We can wait. I'm already gathering part, to make a little "racing cell" with an authentic BMW E36 interior and of course gauge. I already managed to get the speedometer loght on/off, but I guess I have to wait for this app and SimTools public release then..
    Can't wait!

    That's great to hear.
    I was just looking for some info regarding TM1638 and SimTool compability, as you maybe remember from other forum, I did some solution for TM to change data with buttons, but never got time to exchange codes with you to test.


    Anyway, I'll be waiting for SimTools app and your code as you said :)

    Yea, I do, and yes will be reintroduced here.
    Have got new code and SimTools working fine with control of the eight buttons to an external button box. (not shown in vid)

    Even helped another member in beta to produce this , i did the software side he built the elctronics and modified the ard code to suit the steppers in the dashboard.
