Mounting the dash To be able to mount the dash on the hardware of your choice, we provide several mounting brackets. Which ones you have received may depend on your purchase and may be different from the following ones we show. However, mounting is all more of the same.

Flashing for Race Director Out of the box our current products are ready for use with SimHub, since Race Director is in early stages of development. To switch your device working with Race Director instead of Simhub, we have added a method of adjusting the firmware of your device to allow for this.

Flash device A quick look at the first page of this menu gives the user the choice to flash a device for use with either Race Director or Simhub. The top option, ‘Used COM port’ (1) indentifies which device to flash. If only 1 Arduino based device with a specific ID has been connected, Race Director will automatically select that port.
Page 13
You will be prompted to make sure you don’t accidentally have selected the wrong option or COM port. Make sure to double check the selected COM port and firmware. In case this all checks out, press ‘Yes’ (4) The flashing is taking place when you see this screen. Please follow the instructions on screen and simply wait for the process to finish.
Configuration and settings Almost all of the options found here speak for themselves, though for the sake of being complete, we will go over them on by one. For more detailed information about the functioanlity we offer within Race Director, please read the Race Director manual.
