DIY dash indicator

[Terry Rock]

Have any of you guys built this $24 dash indicator?
Think I'll give it a shot...parts ordered.

Cant seem to upload any of the sketches to my Arduino Board i keep getting the error message TM1638.h: No such file or directory

do you copy the Libraries to arduino's folder?

 

[Adam Gough]

I had a folder called sketch Tm1638 I copied that folder into the libraries folder

look how is my libraries folder....

OK small error on my part that being fixed it won't upload now keeps timing out I have selected Com 5 and the right board in Adrunio but it keeps timing out.

 

[Thomas Vasileiadis]

This is my new GT DashPanel...based on Arduino sketch.

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 3 of 10: not in sync:

Keep getting that message ive tried different usb drivers. I just cant get anything to upload to the board.

 

[Adam Gough]

Spent abother two hours manually removing and updating different drivers still couldnt solve the issue. I've tried different cables and assigning different com port even tried burning a new bootloader. I can only think the board i purchased is no good so I've ordered another. Fingers crossed.

I've just had a look at that page it still uses a adrunio sketch so the problem of uploading that sketch will still exist

You can not upload no sketch???....what arduino do you use?.....what version of IDE do you have?
try to uninstall all the arduino software and delete the libraries manual.....AC-HUB works perfect!

No I can't upload a sketch I have tried the very latest version and one of the older versions also. I have tried numerous drivers aswell. The board is a Adrunio Duemilanove.

I think that is duemilanove that is not compatible with these sketches mate...can you use UNO,NANO or MEGA?

But that's the board the guy uses I the video?

yes...i see that is!....so is too weird!!

Yes, I've ordered the same board, which should be arriving within the next couple of days, so it'l be interesting if I have more success getting it to work

Yes I would aswell.

OK so I ordered a new board which came today this time it was a Adrunio UNO and it worked straight away. I'm pretty sure the board is faulty because I've checked and double checked everything.

Awesome project! Sold out of the LED display though

You can buy it on eBay if you want (although there'll be a longer delivery time of course) - I bought this display:

Hey guy, Look what i've done with mine !!

I took a real dash and connect only the steeper motor with 3 arduino nano, one for each meter.
I used same kind of code as the above to make it work and added library for the specific stepper motor.

Awesome Nicolas! could you share with us the arduino code please and thank you!

about the "connector" app: is there a way to add some default parameters somewhere?
like always turn on on "COM3" and always have the checkbox checked.
Is there a reason to do the same actions every time you open the app?
