Instructions for Setting Up iFlag in SimHub Software
(Note: Applies for SimHub version 9.4.7 – the layout may slightly change over time with newer updates)

To fully enjoy your iFlag experience with SimHub, follow these instructions. SimHub allows for extensive customization of your iFlag, displaying real-time data such as racing flags, gear indicators, and RPM reactions. Here’s how to get started:

Important Notes:

Do not overwrite the pre-installed firmware; iFlag will stop working if you do so.
Do not open the iFlag control box, as this will void your warranty.
And please, don’t throw iFlag out the window if you miss out on the podium!

1. Download and Install SimHub:

Visit the SimHub website and download the software: https://simhubdash.com.
Install SimHub on your computer. Consider purchasing a license to support the developers; it’s affordable and supports continuous improvement of the software.

2. Enable the Arduino Plugin:

1. 1. STEP 1: Open SimHub and navigate to “Add/Remove features.”
  2. STEP 2: Find the “Arduino” plugin, and ensure it’s enabled.
  3. STEP 3: Select the option to “Show in left menu.”
  4. STEP 4: Click “OK” to apply these settings.

3. Setting Arduino Board:

If you are using other devices in SimHub (iFlag, button box, etc.):

STEP 5: In SimHub’s left menu, select “Arduino.”
STEP 6: Select “My Hardware” and then click “Multiple devices.”

4. Accessing iFlag Settings:

STEP 7: In SimHub’s left menu, select “Arduino.”
STEP 8: Move to the “RGB Matrix” tab to find the iFlag settings.

5. Testing iFlag functionality:

STEP 9: On the “RGB Matrix” Tab click on “Open Test Data Editor”
STEP 10: In window “Test data editor” you can now test various effects of iFlag

6. Configuring Basic Settings:

By default, iFlag is set up to display racing flags (Green, Blue, Yellow, White, Black, etc.), gear indicators, and respond to motor RPMs and car spotter alerts.
For testing purposes, click on “Open test editor” to activate and test specific elements of your choosing.

Additional Customization Tips:

Gear Display Customization: Under “When game is running,” find the item labeled “Gear.” We recommend selecting the “Thick 8×8” font for clarity, but feel free to choose your own style.
Fully Customizable: Our iFlag allows for extensive customization, including configuring additional effects like turn signals. You have the freedom to draw your patterns for a personalized experience.

Note: If you encounter any issues with the display orientation or need further customization tips, please reach out. We can provide additional instructions on how to rotate the iFlag display through the software to suit your setup perfectly.

Your iFlag is designed to be adaptable and user-friendly. If you have any questions or need help with setup and customization, feel free to contact us for assistance.
