So you've bought the app and things aren't quite working as expected. No problem, hopefully you can find the answer here.
Make sure you are have downloaded and are using the latest version of the iRaceDash Server.
Is Windows firewall or another third party firewall blocking UDP port 2047, the default communications port? To open the port try the following guide Open a port in Windows Firewall
Does the ip address in the app settings menu match that shown in the iRaceDash Server?
Is the port in the app settings menu set to the default of 2047?
Can your Android or iOS device see your PC? Download any of the free 'ping' apps from the Android Market or iTunes Store and see if your device can ping the IP address shown in iRaceDash Server. If you can't ping the address there is a problem with your network.
Start iRaceDash Server from the command line and append '-d'. This will write a log.txt file to the iRaceDash Server folder.
"iRaceDash Server" -d
Email log.txt to info@iracedash.com along with the following information:-
If you want to use a different UDP port because some other application is using port 2047 you need to change the port in both iRaceDash and iRaceDash Server.
In iRaceDash settings menu set the port number to the port you want to use.
To change the port used by iRaceDash Server you need to start iRaceDash server from the command line and append the port number as an argument. For example to use port 2048 you would enter:
"iRaceDash Server" -p 2048
iRaceDash uses keyboard inputs to control the iRacing black boxes. For the pit controls to work it is necessary to use the default keyboard mappings in iRacing. The easy way to reset all of your keyboard settings to default is to rename 'controls.cfg' in your 'My Documents\iRacing\' folder.
The actual keys that are used are:-
Key | iRacing Mapping |
---|---|
Space | Toggle Selected Control |
Left Arrow | Decrement Selected Control |
Right Arrow | Increment Selected Control |
Up Arrow | Select Previous Control |
Down Arrow | Select Next Control |
Home | Unmapped - should return cursor to first entry in black box |
F3 | Relative Black Box |
F4 | Fuel Black Box |
F5 | Tires Black Box |
