General Discussions / USB LCD Screen advise
« on: June 08, 2014, 08:26:06 am »
Hi all.
I have been searching the web for quite some time now, trying to find a solution to my issue.
A few years ago, i bought a couple of items from SIM Display. A sim display for rfactor, which shows speed, laps, fuel ect. with rev counter LEDs and such. I also bought an LCD USB screen called SLI-Board B450 E.
Subsequntly, the original developer ceased development and handed the project to a friend of his. Who has since continued work on the rev counter device but not the LCD Screen.
So I have a fully functional rev counter and a defunct USB LCD Screen. Defunct, because the latest stable software for the rev counter doesnt support the LCD Screen.
I have been trying to find a solution to find an independant piece of software that would display the 8 HUD display pages in rfactor on this display again.
Im sure that the Sim Screen device that is produced here is the same device I have, but obviously the firmware is different.
So, basically, is there anyone with the knowledge to advise me as to if the LCD screen I have is basically defunct or can I recover the basic screen and redo the firmware with one that has some compatible software.
My apologies if some of what I have written is confusing, or sounds stupid. I am in a position of knowing what I desire, but not sure of the work around, if one even exists.
Thanks in advance
