Cristiano,

I thought you and Mike Perry were working on these gauges already. Last I saw he was sending you some??

Cristiano,

Also the Fuel gauge.  Did you get these working yet?

Cristiano,

Got the new board and everything works well. The needle moves less per increment in the software making it possible to be much more accurate at the percents in the calibration. S1 now works just like the other inputs.

All in all everything is great.

Thanks

Cristiano,

Do you think I have a problem with my Pro Gauge? I am fairly certain S1 has an issue since I cannot get the needle to go below 140 degrees on either gauge when plugged into S1.

Also like I said above, I cannot get any of the percentages to be exact. One number is too low and the next number goes too high above the desired percent.

Example: Trying to set the water gauge to 50% I use 37 in the software this is below 200 degrees which is my 50% range for that gauge. (100-300 is the range) If I increment the software to 38 it goes above 200 degrees. I cannot get any of the percentages exactly on the correct temp reading. One number is too low and then next number is too high.

The Tach works perfect. Very small needle movement for each number change. I can make perfect accuracy on the tach.

Please let me know what I need to do. If my board is bad, how can I get a replacement?

Thanks

Mike,

That is exactly how I connected them. (understand the pressure gauges not working at this time)
My problem is the sensitivity when setting the percentages in the software. For example, when setting the 50%, which like you said would be right at 200 for my gauge, I cannot get it right on 200. One click of a number is to low and the next click is to high. It is this way for all percentages. Therefore I am not accurate within iracing. Both gauges water and oil do the same thing. I reset gauges back to default which did not help. Also as mentioned above, when connecting either gauge to S1 I cannot get the gauge below 140 degree even if the slider in the software is set to 0.

Can you tell me the numbers in the software you have your gauges calibrated at? Here is what mine are to get as close as possible but not too accurate in iracing.

Water
0% -   17
25% -  30
50% -  37
75% -  44
100% - 53

Oil
0% -   17
25% -  31
50% -  39
75% -  46
100% - 54

As you can see I am barely incrementing the numbers and getting full range. This makes it not as granular as I believe it should be for accurate settings.

Quick note: the Tach works perfect. It takes large increments of the numbers to barely move the Tach needle. This makes it right on the money.

Thanks again for any help.

Ok, I may have figured this out but I believe I have a problem with my Pro Gauge board.

I have no problem powering up the gauges, same as before I had the Pro Gauge. I took the red/wht wire Pin 2 from the above temperature diagram and inserted it in S1 of the Pro Gauge.
I took the black wire from Pin 3 the sensor ground and inserted it in the Pro Gauge ground.

Configuring the gauge in the software did move the needle but it is VERY sensitive. At a setting of 52 in the config the needle is maxed out. I cannot get accurate 25% 50% 75% and 100%. As a matter of fact I cannot get the needle at 100 degrees (lowest on my 100-300 degree gauge) It won't go below 140 degrees.

I tried it in S2 and S3 on the Pro Gauge and could get it down to 100 degrees but it is still way too sensitive to have the gauges read accurately matching iracing in game gauges. Each single number click up in the software moves the needle way too much making for the difficulty setting the gauge up.

Cristiano or anyone do you think my board may be bad. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks

Thanks guys.

Mike,

I have the following gauges:

Spek Pro 5" 11k Tach
Spek Pro 100-300 degree Water Temp gauge
Spek Pro 100-300 degree Oil Temp gauge
Spek Pro 0-120 PSI Oil Pressure gauge
Spek Pro 0-15 PSI Fuel Pressure gauge

I have the Tach working on the new board but am a little confused on the wiring for the other gauges.


I will attach the wiring for the above gauges in the following posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cristiano, or anyone

I just received my Pro Gauge, is there any documentation for this? I have 5 ProSpec gauges and am not sure how to wire them up. I currently have a Rev Burner running my Tach and all other gauges are just powered up. I am ready to switch all to the new Pro Gauge.

Please help.

Thanks

Great news Cristiano.

Can you take pre-orders now? If not PLEASE save one for me.

Thanks
