Thanks man

Looked at the phidgets modules, look pretty good and simple although you pay for the privelege

Ideally I'll buy/make a serial servo controller, but might end up using a phidgets module

Hi

Im looking to build a real speedo and tacho,for use with LFS. I plan to use outgauge/outsim to get the speed and rpm value.

Then I want to use a programming language, something like C++ or python, to manipulate the data and export it to a serial servo controller, which will control the servos in the gauges.

Just how feasible is this, and how fast will the gauge be, will the servo keep up?

The hardest bits are getting the useful data out of the UDP packets, and then sending the servo position to the servo controller. Any ideas? Or are there any applications I can look at as examples?


cheers, dom
