Hi everyone,
I've pushed a quick intermediate update (v0.4.1.1). This isn't a full scheduled release, but I wanted to get a few more display functions into your hands now rather than making you wait for the next big version.

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce the release of OpenSR v0.5 (Early Access). This release brings a substantial number of improvements to OpenSR. Alongside several major bug fixes, I have added a wide selection of new game plugins, refined our existing device plugins, and, most importantly, introduced the new Arduino Project, making it easier to build your own custom RGB LED and input controllers.



I would also like to provide an update regarding OpenSR development. The OpenSR SDK device plugin interface has been improved, together with a number of smaller fixes and improvements. For those interested in creating their own game or sim racing device plugins, the SDK is currently available on demand. Please check the dedicated SDK Discussions forum for more information.

The SDK will be made publicly available with the release of OpenSR 1.0.
v0.5 – 2026-09-15
Software Update Instructions

Select Check For Update and tick ‘Overwrite Settings Files‘ then Download And Install All button.
The full OpenSR installer is also available on the EKSIMRacing website.

    Up to 24 RGB EXTERNAL LEDs
    Up to 100 RGB PASSIVE LEDs for illuminating device components
    Up to 32 buttons
    Up to 16 encoders (shared capacity with buttons)
    Up to 6 axes, or up to 6 rotary switches with 12 positions

Compatible Arduino Devices

The following boards are currently supported:

v0.5.0.2 is available for download, Select "Check For Update" to get the latest app and game plugins. read the changelog for more info.

[zappadoc]

Hi,

I have some good news. Since version 0.5.0.2, OpenSR is no longer in Early Access. This version is very stable. If you use OpenSR, please update to 0.5.0.2.

You may ask: why not version 1.0? I will not bump the version to 1.0. I will keep the 0.x version numbers for more consistent  versioning with future updates.

If you still use an older app like Ledsmaster, switch asap to OpenSR, Ledsmaster is now outdated. OpenSR is 100% open and free, and it will stay free, with no license fees to keep your hardware working. Moving over takes just a few minutes, and you get the full feature set plus all future updates at no cost.

The SDK to create your own game or device plugins has been released to our Github repository.

Cheers,

Hi,

Version 0.5.0.3 is now available. Here are the changes:

OpenSR Shared Memory Enabled:
I’ve added 3 shared memomry channels for external apps (that are not plugins) to read OpenSR data in real-time with very low latency.
Channels you can use:
Context Data: For app state and configuration.
Simulation Data: For high-speed telemetry (vehicle and player data).
Blob Data: A custom channel for other high-speed data.

If you are a dev, check page 16 of the SDK Doc for the technical details on how to connect with c++, C#, python or any language.

Wreckfest 2: Fixed the gear value
Richard Burns Rally: UDP settings added
General: Fixed some minor bugs
SDK: python script example added

As usual select Check For Update to get the latest software.

The SDK to create your own game or device plugins is on Github repository
