    Arduino
    Okay my lap time in LFS is 15 hours i need help

    ive been at this all day and night and its 10 to 1am and im stuck,.

    i read about this here by RacingMat

    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/driving-diy-cluster-gauges-with-gamedash.5896/

    and well the code and im guessing the library is very old and no good

    im using a L293D h Bridge with RacingMats code and it didnt stop the jutter and the slowness

    so i thorght to hell with it ill use the Stepper.h library arduino comes with.....

    i cant get it to move the gauge it just makes a noise and sometimes locks up like its trying to do something

    here a picture of what i have

    20210322_004207.jpg

    so here is my code i have for the stepper.h library

    Code:
    // D8 to p2, D9 to p7, D10 to p10, D11 to p15. 12V on pin 8 only
    
    #include <Stepper.h>
    
    int stepsPerRevolution = 600;        // Change this to suit the number of steps per revolution for your motor
    byte Rpm;
    
    Stepper MotorRPM(stepsPerRevolution, 8, 9, 10, 11); // initialize the stepper library
    
    
    void setup()
    {
    
      Serial.begin(115200);         
    
    } // End of setup()
    
    
    
    void loop()
    {
      if (Serial.available() > 0)  {
        Rpm = Serial.read();
      }
      MotorRPM.step(map(Rpm, 0, 255, 0, stepsPerRevolution));
    
    }
