Q: What else do i need? Help!

[Cristiano]

Hello.

connect pins 1-8 of the first display to pins 1-8 of the pin splitter (first row)
connect pins A,B,C of the first display to pins 17, 18, 19 of the  pin splitter (first row)

connect pins 1-8 of the second display to pins 9-16 of the pin splitter (second row)
connect pins A,B,C of the second display to pins 17, 18, 19 of the pin splitter (second row)

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.

so then can i for example connect 8 LEDs to pins 9-16(first row) and the positive pin from the LEDs to 20?

[David91]

So I got my display's working It's easy to connect them if you read the instruction carefully.

Here are some pictures of the testing stage:

The next step are the LEDs

I got my second shippment today! every thing was ok now

I was just wondering...will you build a plate so you can wire up LED's? I've put an attachment so you can se what i mean. The numbers from 1-8 would be attached to the positive pins of the LED's, and the number 0 would attach to 17-20 pin on the DLC 247. It would be great if you would make this Cristiano. Tell me what you think.

Hi.
I actually that a small pcb to mount LEDs could be useful. you had a good idea and it only takes few minutes to design.

unfortunately the production of the PCB takes free weeks, so you will have to wait a little bit.

If you would make them, and if the price was not to much...i would need 10 pcb's for my 75 LED's so how much do you think it will cost me? if its not too much I can wait 3 weeks if you are willing to make it...

[Cristiano]

I am definitely going to make it.
I will design the PCB this week end. it's simple and won't take a lot of time.

the price will just cover the cost of the PCB, LEDs and wires, like the other displays for the DLC-247 controller.

Cool! Will you sell just the board? I've allready purchased the wires and leds so i only need the board.

[Cristiano]

I definitely can do that

Cristiano how is it the progress on the board that we talked about?

[Cristiano]

I received the LEDs pcb yesterday and already tested them.
I haven't put them on the website yet. will do in the week end.

[David91]

Nice! Thanks for making it!  Can't wait to order

[David91]

Cristiano is the board gonna be in the store soon? 

[Cristiano]

Yes, I have already receive them.
they are still out of stock on the website because I have to change the page first, because the new board is a bit different, but from Monday it will be available.

regards

I have found that rFactor 2 supports these values. Is it possible to intergrate them in SimDash? Or is it allready on your TO-DO list?
