Found a solution for the KPH gauge???

A project log for CAN BUS Gaming Simulator

Controlling a VW CAN BUS dashboard of a Polo 6R with an Arduino and a CAN BUS shield using the Telemetry API of Euro Truck Simulator 2

I filmed my first achievement of getting the KPH gauge work partially.

And I found out at that moment that the ABS - Control-command just created many errors in this gauge.

Now I know why this occured: The ABS sensors have an incredibly important task of sending also speed signals to the CAN line. So I have to get back to this situation where the KPH gauge is wiggling around. And then the multiplacator has to been set to the specific value. This shouldn't be a big deal.

I'll keep you up to date!

Thanks for following and skulling - Keep on!

hi! No not yet, BUT I bought a OBD2-Adapter Cable for the CAN BUS Shield to connect the Arduino to CAN BUS of a real VW. Next week I'll try to read the CAN BUS and then figure out which Addresses are also used for the kph gauge. It's definitive a software problem at my side. So stay tuned, I'll keep you updated

Hello Leon,

I like your project and I am glad that you are sharing it.

Have you solved the problem with the bouncing KPH gauge?
