DashMeterPro App for Iracing Review

I recently tried out the dashmeterpro on my tablet and phone for IRacing. Here what’s I thought about it.

It rocks!! Plan and simply. For just $6.75 you can download this app from Google Play store and set up a multiply amount of gadgets to view real time race data that otherwise you would be fumbling with the keyboard for while racing. Actually helps keep you focused on the track or race at hand. I set mine up on my Galaxy Note 8 tablet which seems to be about the right size. I really enjoy this app and money well spent for any IRacer

It’s easy to set up, but the instructions can be confusing. Let me try to help. First download the app from Google Playstore to your phone or tablet. Then go to your PC and visit the website www.sensadigit.com. Here in this website you will find the version you are looking for on the right of the screen. For my case Iracing.

From here click on IRacing Instructions. Then follow the steps layed out.

1. Download DashmeterCom IRV1.1.0
2. Extract. Unzip the file to any folder on your PC. I extracted to my desktop. Note if you have an older pc you might need to download Microsoft Visual 2010 runtime to be able to run the program. Since my PC was new I already had a future version of it.
3. Configure your DashMeterPr App. Turn on WIFI on your phone/tablet and connect it to your home network. You can also connect your Android directly to your computer by USB, please follow the instructions here USB Tethering
4. Now the somewhat confusing part for people based on the instructions. After your device is connected to your wifi then open up the DashMeterPro App and click the phones list/options button which will pull up 3 options: Telemery, GUI Editor and Preferences.
5. Click Preferences and within that menu system scroll to the bottom and select Help. See pics below.
6. What your looking for under the help menu is what I circled in red. It's the IP address that is assigned to your phone by being connected to your wifi. This address will change if you were on a different wifi.
7. Also make sure you are on Port 2302 which is under Preferences/Advance settings on your device.
8. Now that you have your device set up and armed with your Wifi IP address then goto your PC and look for the unzipped file folder you did in Step 2. There will be 2 files. The DashMeterCom.exe file and a Preferences file.
9. Open the DashMeterCom.exe file. It will look like a dos based window that stays open all the time when running your program. Leave this file open. See below.
10. Now open up the Preferences file. Within this file you will be looking for the preferences.ini file. My file actually didn't say preferences.ini. If you run into this using a android device as your DashMeterPro look for the following: ##Enter the IP of your Android device. Android_IP1 = 192.168.1.25. Change this file to your phone/device IP address. For example 192.168.1.25 may be 192.168.2.50. What ever your phone/device gives you put it there.
11. Next Look for: ##Put this parameter to 'true' to enable a second display. Enable_second_display = True;  (Make sure if this says false to just change the wording to say true.

That's it. Just 11 steps. I drew the steps out some to keep the instructions clear for even the newest PC user. Check out the pics below to help explain. Thanks and please subscribe!!
