New and dlc247 help

[Twenty20]

hey guys

New to sim raceing and been slowly building up my rig the last couple of months becuase of work and whatnot and had a few questions:

1. On the sim data spread sheet what does split time mean, is it just your split time or is it your time from the leader? Also does one of the digits show up as + or -?

2. I want to run 3-4 6 digit displays for lap times, custom shift light array (16leds), and 4 3 digit displays for position, laps, etc. with pin splinters can I run this all on one dlc 247 with pin splitters or do I need 2 dlc 247s?

3.  If I assign a 3 digit display to gear will it go past 9 gears for games like euro truck 2?  If I bought 2 1digit displays can the be linked together to make a 2 digit display for this purpose?

4. What are the values for a shit light array?

I live in the us so power supply is 120v. So far I got a pro gauge with speed, tach, water temp, and fuel level from glowshift, and a pro shift for warning lights, DSd 32 button controller for custom box, and a t300 rs. Plan is to go around and above wheel base with mount not sure if I should put gauges on top or off to the side yet any help would be appreciated.

hey...i will try to answer some of the questions...

if you want to run 4 six digit displays and 4 three digit displays you need 1 dlc 247 and 3 pin splitters...then you need a second dlc for the light array...and other stuff you want to add.

for the gears I'm not sure but i think you can link together 2 1digit displays...and you can get to ex. 16 gear...someone who drives ETS2 should correct me on this.

how do you mean values for the shift light array? you put in % for each led when it lights up...example: you have 10 leds every next led turns on 10%-20%-30% etc. 100%...but only if the sim supports rpm in %...

cool good to know that i can use the splitters.  i was just thinking is it possible to use a 6 digit display for something like laps and total laps on same display? like first 3 laps and last 3 current laps?

[David91]

yes you can...you configure each digit seperatley...
