Hi
Rcs64 and start light pcb and Arduino.

Pin Id #s

Use the colours on the end of the cable from the start light pcb.

Red to pin 4
White to pin 5
Blue to pin 6
Orange pin 7
Purple pin 8
Green pin 9
Yellow pin 10
Black pin gnd.this will set the reds to light up left/right if you want right/left then just swap 4&8 and 5&7.

I think you may have solved one of my problems there Ade.
I followed your build for the start lights awhile ago.
Everything works as it should but occasionally they just loose connection or just do strange things.
I'll get a shorter lead see if that corrects it.
I'll also try and follow you on connecting to ssd as I only use it on rcs 64 as it seemed a lot easier.

Hi
That's good news Lee👍the rest of the videos will be up and running by tomorrow night (ssdc and pclapcounter ) both are easy but just need a bit more work first time round which only takes a few moments.😉

 

Thank you Ade

, this will be helpfull for a lot of people and I will possibly need It when I finish my new track

Thanks for all your hard work.

 

Great work Ade,

Really well done. Looking forward to the SSDC one.

So for the higher price you get everything you need including the Arduino??

Dave

 

Hi
Yes Dave,the higher price includes everything for a plug and play option,if you only use one race management program then the relevant sketch will be pre loaded which makes set up even easier in the case of ssdc and pclapcounter.

The buyer just needs to fabricate a gantry building to house the pcb board.👍

 

Keep one for me then for the 23rd, please!! (BTW your gantry logos should be available by then.)

 

If you use Rcs64 & ssd would it be more beneficial to have two light gantries? Also can you recommend a USB cable for uno Ade. I guess a better quality one would work more efficiently.
Lee

 

Hi
No Lee one pcb board will do everything,the sketch in Ssdc can be hacked to match the pin numbers in rcs,then you only need to swap between sketches 😉

Regards usb leads try this one Click meI've used these with success 👌

All will be revealed in the how to for Ssdc 😆

 

Excellent thanks Ade.
I look forward to the ssd hook up info

Hi
This video is for Ssdc, the pin numbers are as follows.

Grenn to pin 13
Red to pin 12
White to pin 11
Blue to pin 10
Orange to pin 9
Purple to pin 8
Amber to pin 6 or 7.

As mentioned in the video you can alter the pin numbers to match that of rcs64 and pclapcounter, doing this will allow for straightforward swap between sketches should you use more than one version of software,I will do another video showing how to alter the sketch and then how to swap between them 👍

Please watch all the video as I did this from memory and missed a bit out concerning the ide setup which I then cover towards the end😧

If you are buying a kit with the Ssdc sketch loaded then most of this won't apply only the setting of the interface and com port in the options/tools/lights section of ssdc,if by any chance you get the yellow triangle I talk about when you are buying in kit with the sketch already loaded then you won't need to download the ide config tool as I will be able to email the zip file with the drivers,it should be ok as my main race computer has no ide installed and all the boards have installed with no problems. Any questions then just ask 👍

Very good videos Ade and well presented .......

 

Hi
The pclapcounter video will be shown by the end of this coming weekend as I want to shoot it with natural daylight in the room,also I will post some pics of the board with the cables in place close up as they did not show very well in the video 👍

 

Following the video and the wiring guide in post #2, I had mine up and running in minutes. Worked like a charm... Now I just need to install it into my gantry...

 

Hi
I've not forgotten the pclc video it will be completed over the Easter break along with how to configure a relay board so you can power anything you like .👍

Just takes a bit of time to set everything up and make sure everything is charged up before I start to record.
