[HOW TO] Logitech G27 RPM Leds with FanaLEDS (Working)

#1 Post by KylixMynxAltoLAG » 10 Jul 2013 05:42

Hello Euro Truck Drivers, here i give you the steps to make the Logitech G27 RPM Leds work with ETS2 via FanaLEDS Software.

Please note: Versión v1.4.1 of ETS2 is Required for this to work due to it's new Telemetry Info Output.
If you have the retail version of ETS2, go here to download the update: http://www.eurotrucksimulator2.com/update.php
If you have the Steam versión, right-click in the game, select Properties, select Betas tab, then select "temporary141 - Temporary 1.4.1 for early Access..." from the dropdown menú and select close to begin update (This is temporary until the update will be released in Steam).

Ok, now that you have ETS2 v1.4.1 Installed and working, follow this simple steps.

1) Download and Install FanaLEDS from here: http://fanaleds.com/downloads

2) Once FanaLEDs is installed, go to the installation folder (ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\FanaLEDs), and there is a folder with the name "additional" (these are the plugins needed for games to talk with the software). We need the ones for ETS2, so we enter in the folder "ETS2 Plugin". Here is a file with the name "FanaLEDsPluginETS2.dll"

3) Copy the file "FanaLEDsPluginETS2.dll" into the ETS2 game installation folder to this especific location:
Retail: C:\Program Files (x86)\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x86\plugins
Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x86\plugins
You will recieve an information dialog when running ETS2 about the existance of this plugins to know if you have installed it correctly. Now the ETS2 will load that plugin and will "talk" with the FanaLEDS software.
Note: Use your common sense to get to this folders. The folder "plugins" doesn't exists by default, so just create it.

4) Start the FanaLEDs software and in the main window, select "Euro Truck Simulator 2" from the "Active profile" dropdown menu. Leave the software opened, you can minimize that window.

5) Start ETS2, accept the dialog about "aditional software detected" and that's it.

Now you have the Logitech G27 Leds showing your truck RPMs.

Hope this helps,
Atte, Kylix Mynx AltoLAG.

Hi SomKilla, this are my settings, i just select the "Euro Truck Simulator 2" profile and didn't change or set anything.
I don't have to select RPMs in display mode, its gets in that mode automatically.
I also didn't have to go to edit the car settings. The car "R" that you see in the picture is added automatically by the software.
I'm running ETS2 Steam Versión 1.4.1s
I''m using FanaLEDs v2.0 (beta) (versión in C:\Program Files (x86)\FanaLEDs\changelog.txt)

Sweet :) I got them working.
But I think they should should stay green when your rpm's are in the green and so on.
Oh well, maybe in a future update? :)

it just needs a profile made for it, very easy to do. Click Advanced tab, then Car settings and you can adjust the lights to come on at differant RPMs, I have been working on it but I still need 3 more trucks set right.

I have it set to start to the lights at about 1100 then flash at 2300 RPM

Hi Guys!

Try this setup in fanaleds. With those values, I tried to put the first led at engine start (500 rpm), the second one at 1000 rpm, the third one at 1500 rpm, the fourth one at 2000 rpm and the fifth one at 2500 rpm. If rpm pass through 3000 rpm, the leds will blink.

I hope you enjoy!!
