Title: Brightness display and lap time updating
Post by: thecure on February 28, 2013, 03:43:02 pm

hello, I wanted to ask if it was the correct brightness' of the display (1.5 ") the brightness and amplified with the camera. I used dlc-247

(http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/41/1008694s.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/1008694s.jpg/)    Brightness 2%

(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1146/1008693b.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/7/1008693b.jpg/)          Brightness 100%

Then the milliseconds lap time seem more slowly than this video.I use Rfactor ...sorry for my bad English..i use a google translator

Hello.
The brightness of the display looks ok to me. Do you think there is a problem?

rFactor updates the lap time only twice every second. so what you see in the video is expected.
For that reason when I play rFactor I display the lap time in the form M.ss (minute and seconds. no fractions of second). it looks better.

The game in my video instead, is GTR2.

Regards
Cristiano

you could use a 12v power supply instead of the 5V that comes with the DLC-247.
you should get more brightness

No, it should be ok.
The chips on board the DLC-247 are rated to up 17V.

if you only need LEDs you can use the Pro-Shift, that can drive up to 16 LEDs:

if you need more you can consider the DLC-247.
If you get the DLC-247, there is a display that can be connected to it:
