Hi, can someone tell me what can cause this problem? Always when i start playing assetto corsa or some other game, my led matrix gear indicator works all fine, but after couple mins of driving the led matrix turns all the leds on and doesnt show me my gear anymore. I don't know what can cause this, and its pretty annoying to always disconnect it and connect back again, and then after couple minutes it does it again.

Here is a picture to show what i mean.

Hi It would we worth having the logs when this happens, but by looking at the symptoms at would think about two potential issues :
- Weak solders/bad contact : it looks it's close if not on your wheel so vibrations can trigger this.
- Powering issue : if you use a long cable, or an usb hub it could not have enough power and make the arduino reset/fall in an unstable state (bad connections could trigger such issue too).
Simhub always reconnects automatically to devices if they get "lost", so if it keeps stuck in this state it's likely to be the second clue I gave you.

@admin5435 Oh, i think my problem is that usb hub. I have 3 usb's connected to a hub, so i think it just doesnt get enough power then :D.
Solders are ok, i checked those.
