check out my arduino speedometer! i thought i'd share it

look at the bottom left!

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXo6vIQNZg0[/ame]

this is how it works:
1. a filterscript saves the speed (in km/h) to a text file
2. a batch file is repeatedly run to send the text file through a serial port to my arduino
3. my arduino then displays it on its two seven segment displays!



future improvements: more digits!

I big WOW Nicely made...

[Michael@Belgium]

say wooot xD Awesome work dude :d

Pretty neat project there!
TBH, I have no idea of what shall I do with my arduino... :X

Accessing a file that many times per second (to make it smoother then it is) could lag the server.
If you know how to make this be sent to the serial port ( i don't) you could try using some tool to see what
memory part the speed (in SA) is stored in, and make an .exe send that to ur serial port instead.

First i thought you don't know how to use a GameRecorder so your recording your gameplay with a cellphone ,lol ).
A BIG NICE FROM ME !

Same took me a while to notice the arduino

Although it's nicely done

Very nice work. Now make me a virtual robot chick?

thanks for all your feedback!
yeah im sorry about that poor video, i made a new one, check out the first post. hopefully it is more obvious now. i also managed to get the numeric value to increase and decrease by intervals of 1.

sounds interesting. however (in the latest video) the speed is only being saved/updated twice per second! the arduino handles the +1 and -1 increments.

let me know what you guys think, and any cool ideas you have

Very nice.
I have a suggestion for you.

If you own your own server, anyway.
If a player cheats, it displays the message on the screen with ip addres, player nickname, and how did he cheat?
So looks like this:

214.6.124.64 || Mark_Weston || Money Hacking

suggestion, only if you have a big server ;p
