Hi,
Ive got a Raspberry Pi set up which runs a dashboard over wireless which works perfectly. I also have an Arduino controlled RPM Led string which works perfectly too.
However, the Arduino board for the RPM LEDs needs to be plugged into my main PC via USB to work.
What I'm wondering is if it's possible to connect the RPM Led string to my raspberry pi and somehow passthrough the telemetry data from my main PC, to the wireless dashboard on the Raspberry Pi to then control the Arduino RPM LEDs?
I can either connect the Arduino to the USB port on the raspberry Pi or connect directly to the GPIO header.
Just trying to find a solution where I don't need to have a separate USB cable coming from my DDU which needs to connect to my PC.
Thanks,
Shane
Did you ever find a solution for this? I am wondering the same thing, and am having trouble finding information.
@tjhcreativeicloud-com unfortunately, no I didn't.
What I ended up doing was use an ESP8266 with wifi to control the RGB lights. I followed this GitHub "ESP-simhub" by ecrowneeng.
It basically sends data over wifi using a simulated serial port on your PC. It works well and saves me having to plug another USB into my computer.
