Stepper Motor Gauges

[Kenny Paul]

Hi Guys.

I have posted a video of all my gauges in action. here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYO5RknUUG4

Outstanding work. Beautiful!

[Kenny Paul]

Initial tests with NR2003 and iRacing demonstrated that these gauges work!   
(Doesn't look like fuel % works in NR2003 though. Have not dug in to that yet. Telemetry may not even be available.)
Here are a few pics of the test rig.  Basically just a workbench prototype.

Using a bread board for testing made the task much easier and will simplify the overall dashboard design work until it come time to actually mount and solder everything together.

Had issues posting the pics. Will try again later.

I have found that not a lot of games support fuel %, a lot of games support fuel in Litres or Gallons but you need to go in and change the gauge settings for each car.

BTW I have posted a new video with some close ups of the gauges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGymlk22EwQ

Nice, thank you.

Can I add it to the gallery on the website?

Yes please. That would be great if you could.

The gauges are mounted up in my Vertex 3 and my dash project is finished!! 
...or at least as finished as any never ending project is 

I'll post a vid in a few days.

Both motion (SimCraft's Craftcon software) and SimDash work great together with iRacing.  Different story with NR2003.  As suspected fuel level does not appear to be an exported telemetry data set. Oh well. 

The bigger issue is that with Craftcon running, SimDash doesn't seem to engage even though it appears to see NR2003 is running when Craftcon invokes it.    I took a scan through the forum, but none of the "motion" oriented threads seemed to be relevant.

Any ideas?

Can't wait to see your project Kenny.  I plan on doing the same using Auto Meter pro-comp or ultra - lite stepper motor gauges.  I'm hoping they will work like your scx gauges.

Your thoughts Cristiano?

Finally stopped messing with my rig long enough to post a video with the gauges set up.
