[UPDATED] Automatic rubberband grinding with Raspberry PI Pico - Daytona American Sunday Cup 600

[Eq]

Original post was deleted as the original code wasn't great. This has been tested for the last 8hrs and working really well

I modified the code to run the Daytona American Sunday Cup 600. You just connect the device at the race start screen instead of at the game boot. Follow the instructions below it's really simple and the total cost is around $5.

You will need:

A Raspberry PI PICO: https://www.adafruit.com/pico?src=raspberrypi
CircuitPython UF2: https://circuitpython.org/board/raspberry_pi_pico/
Adafruit_HID and Adafruit_displayio_layout Libraries: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafrui...uit-circuitpython-bundle-7.x-mpy-20220328.zip
code.py: Attached to this post

1. Install CircuitPython UF2 on the PICO
2. Copy code.py to CIRCUITPY drive that opens when you connect the newly loaded CircuitPython PICO
3. Copy both Adafruit_HID and Adafruit_displayio_layout lib folders from the libraries zip to CIRCUITPY/LIBS
4. Safely unmount USB from PC/MAC
5. Follow instructions in header of code.py for race setup

Car setup:

Tomahawk S VGT - Body height to 70/70 and top speed to 430 from 420

Assist settings:
Turn on "auto brake and steering", "replace car after leaving track" and "ASM"
Turn off "traction control" and "countersteering"

All races will win with minimum 15000k credits or 22500k for clear race bonus which will happen fairly regularly. Start to finish including the race restart process is around 3 minutes.

I set this up because I just don't have time to play the PlayStation enough to farm the credits required for the cars I want. I had the same setup for GT5 over 11 years ago and also shared it on this forum.

If you use this please give me a shout out and enjoy!

PS: If you can tidy my code feel free! I'm not the greatest coder

Probably a good idea to delete your PSN ID.

Kaz is a vindictive man. Just look at the nerf in response to people 'grinding' Fisherman's. He will absolutely nerf your entire existence if he sees this.

Don't see the point personally. I have no need for all the cars in the game. And I would never do something like this to get them even if I did. Each to his own though. Fill your boots.

Thanks @RSClio182 - did just that. Now, I did find a bug that i'll work on as I need to see how many races it takes before the marathon tickets pop as this adds an additional click to the queue and throws off the automation when it does as it drops short by one.

Not a lot of love in this thread , @Eq thanks i dusted off my raspberry pi zero w and running your script perfectly fine done over 1000km already. For the pi zero i removed all the lines for the led it wouldn’t start with them included.

Before I play a game like that, I rather don't play that game at all...

That is really neat. If I can find my pi zero Ill give this a shot.

I understand where you’re coming from, played every gran turismo and never felt the need for cheating but this game is such a grind it’s not fun anymore.
Hopefully the April updates make life better and i promise to never cheat again.

Nice! Feel free to share the PI Zero code if you like

I don't see this as cheating at all. Since this process nets 300k+ an hour automated I'd be better off playing for real for 1 hour but, I just don't get the play time as my teenagers are playing FIFA 22 all the damn time! When I do play I am playing the cafe tasks still and just got my licenses out of the way. Now it's time to go for gold trophies

Glad you got some use from the code @Lunaman and hope you find your PI Zero @Cheshyrkat

I don't see it as cheating. No different than doing a couple grams of amphetamine and grinding for 48hr straight. Plus we had B-Spec in 3 or 4 of the mainline titles that did the exact same thing, so if anything I learned this method from Kaz. lol

That said, I hate having to run a script, but it's all in the hopes that the game will be seeing some large content drops and improvements to the economy, and soon at that. If it doesn't happen the script is getting shut down and the game deleted from my SSD.
