Q: What else do i need? Help!

[David91]

Hello!

First of all I like what you are doing for us Cristiano!

Second, I want to purches some of your stuff, but I don't know if it would work...so here is my list:

- DLC-247 (1 piece)
- 0.36" Six digit display for DLC-247 (1 piece)
- 0.56" display for DLC-247 (1 piece)
- 0.56" Three digit display for DLC-247 (7 pieces)
- 5mm Leds (70 pieces)

And here is my question:

Do i need another DLC or do I just need a DLC-247 pins splitter(or two?)?

Thanks in advance for any help

David.

Hello.
You can't drive all those displays with only 1 DLC-247.

one DLC-247 can drive 24 displays, you have 28 plus the LEDs.

[David91]

Thanks for the quick reply!!!!!

So can you tell me how many do i need? Or can you write me a list of things i have to buy to make it work. I want to buy it quick so i can finish my project

[Cristiano]

Hello.
you need 2 DLC-247 and at least 4 pin splitters.

for the LEDs, I would buy another pin splitter and one set of these wires:

oh ok so its not that easy as i thought. can you please take a minute of your time and write me a list of things that i need, for my configuration  to work. I would really apriciate it

regards, David!

[Cristiano]

For the displays, you only have to plug them to the dlc-247, they already come with the wires so that is very easy.

first connect the pin splitter so you have enough connectors to connect all the displays

[David91]

So will this work:

- DLC-247 (2 piece)
- 0.36" Six digit display for DLC-247 (1 piece)
- 0.56" display for DLC-247 (1 piece)
- 0.56" Three digit display for DLC-247 (7 pieces)
- 5mm Leds (70 pieces)
- DLC-247 Pin Splitter(4 pieces)
- 20 pin dual female splittable jumper wire - 300mm(4 pieces)

or do i need anything else?

[Cristiano]

That should be everything you need.

I have another question.
Can you configure the simdash software to switch between multiple data values on one display 
Example: If you have a 0.36" Six digit display for DLC-247 and the first value would be Current lap time, the second value would be Last lap time and the third value would be best lap time. Can you use a button or rotary encoder to switch between these values while making laps in your game or do you have to go out and configure it outside the game?
Hope I've made it clear enought

Regards, David.

Ji.
you explained very well.
At the moment you can't do that but it is in my TODO list.

I am very sorry.

Last night I was wondering why there was a DLC-247 on the desk there I pack orders and now I understand the reason.

Sorry again. I will be able to ship the missing items tomorrow (Saturday) if you send me the email before the end of the day.

hey!

I have a question, I've connected the pin splitter on my DLC 247 and then one 3 digit display on numbers 1-8(in the first row,1-8 pins on the pin splitter), the A-C cables on 18-19(first row) and the second 3 digit display on the second row of the pin splitter(pins 21-28 on the pin splitter), the A-C cables on the second row of the pin splitter(pins 37-39). When I try to configure the displays both my displays light up...so obviously I've connected them wrong can you tell me how to connect them properly?

Regards, David.
