To use your ReaperWare SImDash you must already have SimHub downloaded and installed. If you dont have it already please download it HERE and install it.
Although not required, We recommend you purchase a license for SimHub as it's truly an amazing piece of software. |
IMPORTANT NOTE! : Please do not upload a sketch using the Arduino Hardware setup tool to your SimDash.
You do not need to do this. Your SimDash is already configured and does not require you to create or upload a sketch. Replacing the already installed sketch may cause the device to stop functioning correctly.
RGB LED profiles...In SimHub, on the left side panel you will see the 'Arduino' tab, click it and then navigate to the 'RGB Leds' tab at the top of the window.
From here, if you do not already see a profile, you will need to create one. You can create two seperate group functions, one for when a game is running and another for when the unit is idle and a game is not launched. Functionality of your SimDash Lite is completely driven by your profile(s). |
Editing/Creating functions...To add a function, simply click the blue '+ Add effect' button, you will see many available effects and conditions to chose from, select one, press 'add' and then it will appear in your profile. From there you can then press the arrow displayed next to the effects name to expand and modify it.
You can also edit an existing effect by using the same expand button. Hovering your mouse cursor over an effect or group name will give you the options of deleting, cloning, copying to clipboard and resetting effects to default. |
SimDash Lite LED map...Each RGB LED on your SimDash is individually addressable. To do this you will need to assign LED 'Numerical' identifiers to your profiles effects.
The SimDash Lite has 17 total RGB LED's. They are configured as follows... Left side flag cluster LED's = 1-3 Engine Rev/RPM display LED's = 4-14 Right side flag cluster LED's = 15-17 |
Eg. To apply a spotter function to the unit, you can create a 'When game is running' profile using 'Add effect', then 'Spotter car left'.
For this effect, LED start position would be '1' and LED count would be '3'. (LED's 1,2 & 3). For the 'Spotter car right', LED start position for this effect would be '15' and LED count would also be '3'. (LED's 15,16 & 17). This will flash the left side cluster when a car is in close proximity to your left, and likewise for the right side. |
Download our default profile...If you do not already see a default profile installed or have mistakenly removed it. You can download our default profile here.
