Title: Ferrari Dial
Post by: fahim on March 28, 2011, 07:37:30 pm

Thanks to Cristiano. Everything work well except for speedometer. Does not go above 160mph so the readings are off by 8-15 mph. Could do with it being compatible with x-sim so it reads data from GTR2 correct. Have tried everything that I know using the "wizard" but cannot get mph to go above 160mph.

Fahim, I have the same with my dash, the rev-burner isnt able to output pulses fast enough to drive my speedo all the way round. (You have to remember this isn't what the board was originally designed to do).

However if in SimDash you set the ppm to the maximum for 100% (ie 100%=35433) and set the "max speed value" to whatever speed is indicated when you test 35433 pulses (from what you say 160mph) then all speeds below 160mph should be displayed correctly.

Hope you understand, sweet dash by the way!

Thanks Chris.

There are a couplke of things I would consider doing.
The first is to replace the speedometer motor with the one from a cheap rev counter I would buy on Ebay.

Or, I will consider creating a new dial for the speedometer, using a colour printer or something. the new scale will stop where the 160mph value now is, but the new value at that position can be anything, for example 220mph.

you will have some free space on the speedometer dial which you can use to add a couple of leds, when the led controller "Pro Shift" is out.

Cheers
Cristiano

I thought it would be just a software issure because the rev needle goes from 0RPM to 10K RPM which is like nealry 270 degrees.

Why can't the mph do that. When it stops at 160 it is only moved approz 200 degrees.
It doesn't seem write a ferrari stopping at 160mph :P

Thats why I thought it was a software issue hoping X-SIM could make it correct.
Anyway I wait for what ever & also water and temp gauge boards.
