Morning All,

So I put together the little Tachometer setup that was on Youtube.  It works with Simhub and I had it working perfectly. A couple days ago, I decided to only move it to another position on my race rig.  After hooking it back up it is unresponsive.  I've tried to reload the sketch but it gets to about 50% on the loading bar and stops.  It says something like can't communicate with the programmer.  Has anyone ever run into this? If so, how did you fix it?

I did notice that after connecting the usb cable I have a solid red led light and a smaller one that flashes quickly for roughly 6 seconds , stops and repeats in just a few seconds

Hi ! This error means something wrong is happening on the Arduino, the programming step is where the sketch should be uploaded on it, could you check that there is no shorts, bad connection or anything which could parasite the Arduino ?

Okay, I feel this is gonna be all my fault...lol.   Can't verify it yet but I am using a bread board for the connections.

When I peeled the backing paper off to expose the adhesive, I had to readjust the location when it stuck down to the box.

If you pry it back up some of the connectors come apart.   Haven't had time to test my theory but that's probably what happened

Thanks for putting up with me  "wotever"...lol

Later

Yep, it was all my fault...lol.

Have a nice day!

Btw,  Is there any way to disable the shift warning buzzer within Simhub?
