  For all of you who want to rebuild this at home.

  This sketch controls a 7-segment display as a gear indicator and simulates a keypress when corresponding data is being received through the Arduino's serial port.

  The display is able to show: r (reverse), n (neutral), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

• Arduino micro connection works!

  Leon Bataille • 08/03/2015 at 11:05 • 0 comments

  With the use of the Arduino Example "KeyboardSerial" it's possible to send a serial command to the Arduino which converts the signal to a virtual Keystroke.

  In this way my Compatibility Tool is able to send a serial byte to the Arduino and this will send the Keystroke to the game you're playing.

  I hope it'll work after editing my Program in Delphi!

• Compatibility Tool recognizes the actual shifter position

  Leon Bataille • 08/02/2015 at 07:58 • 0 comments

  With the use of the DXJoystick Component from Winsoft XE for Delphi I am able to display the gear in the Compatibility Tool which is a good start. The tool also knows when I shift from a lower gear to a higher and should then send a signal to the Arduino micro and this should send an emulated keystroke to the Racing Game or Simulator you're playing with at the moment.
