Gonna try this evening with the new version of the software.

I didnt get it to work on that sunix card with the previous version of the software.
new video
I can't see your video..

YouTube says "The URL contained a malformed video ID."
I'm currently testing on a older pc that has an onboard LPT port.
Guess what, it's working .
I hope the LPT card i orderd now will work on my race pc (i ordered a card that uses the windows drivers instead of its own).


I noticed 1 little thingy while testing:
It seems that when you use the indeicators, not the rpm, de leds are backwards working: instead of LED1 & LED2 being the shift light, it is LED7 & LED8 lighting up.

RPM indicator works perfect, btw i love that Style 2.
hop.. i know.. thanks
its work good becouse LED 7 and 8 is red! if you wired g g y y r r
i need to rewrite text on gui
I'm using Windows XP SP3 32bit, and my onboard parallel port... is that a problem? =/

LED dash and cable -> complete

but sill not working

your chip is expensive huh?

In Germany I can get the small Version iow24 for 12 €.
It is sufficent for little to medium Led-Applikations. Via matrix mode it supports multiples of 64 leds.

Edit:For matrix mode you need additional driver chips.

ah i see, but the turnlights are stil wrong then, if you look from behind the car. (i know, i'm a pain in the butt)

maybe a small request: Low fuel warning where you can change the value when the warning must start. example: AS3 needs 2.45% feul/lap, so you can set warning % at 3%. Or something like that .

I really like the indicator mode, i think that it is really an added value to racing in LFS & problably for drifting, cruise also.
Working on fuel warning.. you can set manualy | ok

updated download 0.5.1 and copy and relapce and try it , thanks
Problem Fixed!

Working perfectly

Problem was : wrong cable soldering on led board... i did the LPT schematics from the wiki page posted, but i "read" it wrong... the first 3 leds were allways ON... and when i got it connected, the other ones light up backwards... (from 8 to 5)

thanks for helping

Gegry1992, could you please put the "Shift Light on leds" in flashing mode? or make a menu that you could choose between "flashing mode" and "always on mode"? (like in the first one you did) i think it could be a good idea btw

thanks for everything
Yes
i make that
and please send pictures from your "leds" to inspirating other players
updated
now rpm light is flashing when need change gear
Nice work.
I will test it later on, this evening probably.
I would like to put some pics online over my led setup but it's still
on breadbord.

i sure will ASAP

Edit: tested the new version (with led flashing) but it flashes too slowly could you make it flash faster? (from 50ms to 100ms)
Its 100 ms and 50ms the refresh rate...
i dont want smaller value coz i dont want kill LPT port
gear indicator (by Kada) might be better use of lpt port...
I am using this thingy for about 2 years and everything works just fine... supported features are: low_fuel, shift_light, traction_control, signal_lights, handbrake, rpm_limiter, redline and of course gear number
and it even supports RBR! (win xp only)
easy this too... and need a bit modification for this
Quote from Jet_ CZE :gear indicator by Kada (site currently down, use google archive) might be better use of lpt port...

Looks good also, i can see the benefit of that one to.
But the one in this thread is a bit easier to build, for me at least .
And, call me leazy, i dont need to worry about external PSU.
Bingo if you wire D0-D6 to 7seg display i make a software for that
and D7 D8 rpm and limiter led
