Troubleshooting

1. No connection on SimHub – please make sure the USB A cable is pluged in. If you are using an USB-adapter or extender, please connect the display directly to the USB-port on the computer.
2. My computer can’t recognize the TM OpenWheel display – This probably means you have not yet installed SimHub, or SimHub did not install the correct drivers for you. To install these manually go to: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software, download and install the Arduino IDE software.
3. The IDLE text will not show up on the matrix display – Please make sure you followed all steps and added the new SRE display. When added, it needs to be checked as an IDLE screen ONLY. Als the display needs to be at the top of the “screens” tab according to step 7.
4. I don’t have any led profiles to import – you should have received them in a .zip or .rar file in your email. To open a .rar you can use winrar. If you did not receive the correct files, please contact us at service@simrep-engineering.com
