Title: Rev burner Speed Controlled Fans for Racing?
Post by: nickchong on March 02, 2012, 11:01:04 am

hi I came across this
http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/x-sim-speed-controlled-fans-for-racing-t2918.html
this is using Pololu Micro Maestro 6-Channel USB Servo Controller

and this
http://fergotech.net/diy-wind-simulation/
this one is using arduino board but only for iracing

i was wondering if the rev burner when used as a speedometer output is able to control fans? is the information from the rev burner the same with fan controllers? is this at all possible? It would definitely prove to be a good rev burner selling point and will add to a lot of immersion for us sim racers who already own the rev burner.

Please help me with this.

Thanks

A customer asked me to write a new firmware for the rev burner to drive a fan, like in the pages you have linked.

when it is ready and tested I will make it available for everybody.

The original output signal of the rev burner is not compatible with fans.

Thanks,

really looking forward to the firmware update for that. This will definitely improve the feature set of the rev burner seeing that it's going to be the only thing in the market that can control a fan.

hi, do you any news on the firmware for this function? I'm looking forward to buying another rev burner for this purpose.

I am going to complete and test the firmware next week. then I will have to update SimDash and that probably is going to take a bit of time.
