Title: Pro gauge power
Post by: Loonyracing on April 09, 2014, 07:16:23 pm
How does everyone power down the gauges at night?
Just unplug the power from the board or can I do this?

Also how do I get the shift light to match up with iracing
it goes red around 5000 but the tach reads exactly
the same as iracing. Besides that everything is working
fantastic! Thank you Symprojects

Next up led's and gear indicator

I do have a switch that will turn my gauges off.

If you read your gauge manual you should have a permanent +12v and an ignition +12v. If you put a switch on the ignition +12v then it will be able to turn the gauges on and off while still leaving the board powered. It works like turning the key on in a car. You can also wire up a switch for the dimmer.

Here are some shots of mine

The shift light in your Tacho is controlled manually, not by the software. You should be able to read in your manual on how to change the shift lights.

that will work.

the shift light connected to the tachometer  is not directly controlled by the Pro-Gauge, but it is the tachometer that decides when to switch it on and off.
so you can't configure it within SimDash.

however the tachometer should have  a knob somewhere whene you can configure at which RPM the shift light will be switched on.
you can only try to make the shift light switch on at the same RPM value like in IRacing.

if instead the shift light was made with LEDs connected to the Pro-Shift or the DLC-247 or you were using a Pro-Race LED, in that case there is a setting in SimDash where you can configure the shift light to switch ON exactly at the same time like in IRacing.

Cristiano,
Thanks for your help! Everything is perfect now
I will be ordering the 247 soon, love the idea of a
yellow flag, low fuel gear indicator lights.


Thanks again
Loony
