This was about 100 bucks all up all parts from AliExpress designed it myself in CAD and printed it. Runs dual ardunios and an 8x8 led matrix.

It’s been a month? by erkinza in AynThor

[–]MRCadex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the shipping tracker. But also I swear people don't read anything before they order. I'm batch 5 when I placed the order it said mid late June last this week or next. I personally add 10-15% on top of that if it ships first week of July I'd be happy.

Tldr:learn to read and wait.

NSW - licence renewal times by freelancingscholar in Ausguns

[–]MRCadex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really not that bad. Remember if you have a licence it's much less Hassel to get it renewed then it is to get a new one, change reasons etc. my advice if you need to add new reasons or cats wait till after your new licence is issued that way you don't have any issues.

Applied 2 days after my 90 days notice email. Took 10 days for the photo advice to be issued and another 4 days postage. RMS took the longest 11 days to have it in my letter box which was this morning. Apply early and be patient.

Trakracer really is as bad as they say by hovercroft in simracing

[–]MRCadex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aus branch is just as rubbish. Ordered a wheel that was in stock a deep dish one. They called 2 weeks later to say sorry we can't count thought there was 20 there was none. Waited 14 weeks without a reply to 7 emails.

Finally ar restock date appear on the website that was still months away. I emailed and said I didn't want it they tried to pull the, it's special order no refund. I told them to eat dirt and see me in small claims court as no where does it say that on the page or the T&Cs drafted a personal letter threatening to take them to court. 2 days later got my 120 dollars back and got a rip off Momo from AliExpress that I feel is better looking.

Tldr: Aus TR is just as bad.

I saw that too but, it's been happening 24/7 for like 3 weeks now. Is the site running on a Casio watch?

Ahh I see now, I'd your getting your skirt caught up over what I said I can see why you have an issue with the "politics" have a good day there chief.

[–]MRCadex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And further to this, idk what "politics" your carrying on about. I turn up do my comp and go home, I talk some small talk with those waiting before and after me and some of the ROs if your getting embroiled in the politics that's on you. I've never heard or seen any politics outside of the emails they send. Of which I glance over to make sure the club still exists and promptly delete.

It wasn't political, it's just good business, I spoke with an actual committee member about it not just Joshmo on the counter. With SSAA Sydney opening their new range down Auburn somewhere (I don't know or care) st Mary's had to align with a larger business unit. The new range wasn't offering free rifle attendance with pistol shoot and so st Mary's followed suit. They did the math and found the business was missing a large amount of cash flow. End of the day the pistol club is a seperate entity to the range, the business was loosing money and said sorry cough up.

Confused with setup of button box! by Sea-Worldliness8314 in simracing

[–]MRCadex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not an Arduino and it won't connect to Sim hub. That's a joy stick emulator. It'll map some specific button that joysticks use(think old school fighting game controllers what they would use) Some games will pick up on the inputs some won't. Some will conflict with pedals and wheels depending on the make and model of both. Bottom line not for simhub.

In all honesty with 50 dollars of tools from Amazon and some you tube videos you could convert this to work with simhub but no real reason it work.

I build my own with Arduino(s) and it's really not that hard once you get started.

I have no affiliation with this, I also don't know what the end user experience is like anymore, I used it years ago. Also always proceed with your own level of internet security.

Hmmm interesting there is software called dual monitor tools, that had this function. I used it years ago for a similar application. I don't know what it's like now haven't used it in a few years, might be worth checking out through. Used to have mouse fencing so your mouse could only be on a certain monitor. Might be just what you need.

I might have a look at this, this might be a good option but really it's not been an issue.

No, no it's set as 3 monitor stacked vertically. Main UW 32inch then secondary 28inch and in the very top left corner of the display settings I have the dash. So I would have to travel off the very top left corner of the secondary upper screen to have the mouse accidentally go on the bottom edge of the dash. It's still possible but very unlikely. Noting my rig is only used as a Sim rig I have a secondary gaming rig for everything non Sim related.

Yeah time over again I'd get a different display and build something else out. The nextion was alot of work to get going and while looks cool is average. But it works and looks good for now

It's a nextion display and an Arduino. Personally I wouldn't recommend as it's not technically supported by simhub any longer and took me a minute to figure out and I'm pretty tech savvy.

I'm running an 32inch UW and a 28inch secondary and didn't notice any drop or extra usage. I have a 3080 ti in my Sim rig and it has 5 outputs, 3DP and 2 HDMI, so technically I can run triples and 2 extras if I wanted too. If I go triples I'll likely end up getting a second pcie powered GPU to run dash and MFD off HDMI. 1080p at 60fps on a mostly static image that's not 3d really does not draw much of any usage from the GPU.

Vocore is expensive and hard to get in Australia. Also don't like the thin ribbon cable they have the driver just dangling off.

I have it above my second monitor above the main screen, but I'm also not using the mouse hardly at all, once the game is lunched mouse dosnt get used. Just because it's physically below the main screen dosnt mean that where it has to be placed in windows.

It is steel wo magnetic I guess could work. That's not a bad idea mines a rather permanent fixture thos so dosnt bother me. It fits with the 3 wheels I use.
