DIGITAL DASH DISPLAY SIM RACING DIY
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Make this easy dash display using a nextion 4.3" display and free SimHub software. Great addition to your racing sim rig.
It is USB, stand alone and can be used in combination with any steering wheel - Logitech, G25, G27, G29, G920, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, or OSW.
The display works the same as the Gear Indicator we made in the last video. It just uses different templates and mapping files.
The templates are able to be customized, you will notice the 599xx and a GT3 dash also in this video.

100% agree
Mate your videos are great. Now just to get my lazy ass out of my chair to order the parts and build it😂
Thanks man!
I know this is Old by you tube standards but i must say your videos are so well made that they are easy to Follow,. Thanks for doing these
I Can't tell you this enough times, but I do anyways. LOVE YOUR VIDS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Its simply amazing. Thanks for all of this!
Thanks so much!!
You really make this stuff look so easy, really enjoying your videos. Good job
Thanks!
Glad you like my templates :)
Thanks for the templates! They are really nice!
And You have a great videos about racing simulator gadgets. I so inspired ! Thank you a lot :)
Thanks!
amstudio Can I get your help with some pedals i am doing?
man thank you so much for these videos. You saved me so much money and you set up is sooooooo cleannnnnnn. RESPECT TO YOU
I wanna make stuff like this for a car? but I'm a total newb. I'm trying to learn all I can about electronics. . maybe some day I can .. great video.
Your videos are the best! Just simple, good looking and very instructional. So satisfying to watch!
Here is a challenge (if it's possible): one of these displays as ETS/ATS map display. It's possible to do it?
Henry M sadly no nextion can only use kind of placeholders so it's not possible to display a map
What a great channel! Deserves more subbers. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate!
FN ---- genuinely you are a genius , love the step by step video , really really helpful , and great clear Quality pitchers , thank you .
Thanks josephzee!
always brilliant Content, please never stop making videos!
Thanks!
thanks for this, now i can replicate the Porsche 911 dash!
Sorry if this wasn't the one I was requesting, but the one that I did request I meant like an actual gauge. Like you'd find in most cars from stock. This is still awesome though.
Yep still looking into that project.
amstudio Oh alright, I was just making sure. Just in case. Not that you're obligated to do it 😂
your video are amazing dude keep up with the great work. the first time I see your channel was the g29 steering wheel mod that one was amazing.:-):-)
Thank you !
Keep up the good work bro, if you sell these on ebay it will be profitable for you and someone like me with no experience with soldering can have a nice dash like this.
Thanks! You can still make this without soldering just connect the included wires. It just more compact and neater soldered. Soldering is quite an easy skill to learn.
These videos are like therapy,so calming.You make me think I could do this stuff.
Awesome video bud ! keep it up.
the download link is not valid anymore. anyone know of where to download this simhub dash from?
Nice project!! Congratulations!!
Your channel is killing it on these guides. can I ask, where do you get all of your carbon fiber and how do you cut it?
Ordered an A4 sheet of carbon fiber 3mm. Cut with power tools then refine the finish by hand.
man i wish you were as big as those fake youtubers out there!
Way to much work for me but man youre a legend
Man I really do wish Thrustmaster sends you a wheel so we can start seeing mods for other racing gears!
Yeah that would be great !
Fuck yeah, T150 or T300 mods would be sick
I also look forward to sim rig he will build eventually. Given his talent, I think sick one will come out even if it's completely customized.
this channel is such a jem you get my patreon support
You have an amazing channel!!
I would love to see you possibly make a custom Shifter and handbrake Mount mod that allows you to keep your handbrake and shifter in the normal placement inside a car. also maybe a setup tour?
can you do complete car cockpit dude you r amazing
Got my screen all sorted thanks for the video. Have you figured out a way to use key bindings to scroll throw the the display?
Hello , please, make video about monitor setup and how you fix it on table. I think lot of us it will be interesting.
Dude keep up your GREAT WORK!!! for us DIY guys. Hope your channel takes off soon :) To everyone else share this vid cuz I am @amstudio has a head on his shoulders. Smart Guy
Waw Fantastic work.
A question can I use the same setting even if I play console? I have a Playstation 4 and a Thrustmaster T300 wheel, I'd like to learn how to make my own custom chainrings.
Thanks a lot and congratulations
You are a really TOPGUN! Game compatibility of the software? (apart the ones shown in the video)
Thank's for sharing man !
I look forward to your videos. Thank you! Very complicated to do 2 digital panels of 7 segments marking the best lap, last lap?
Hello is this working with arduino nano instead of the USB TTL module?
this guy is a legend
Really fucking awesome dude!!!
Keep like that men you are the best
I made this and I can't thank you enough great job. I am having a small problem that maybe you could help me with. the screen works great but every now and then it reverts back to screen one so when I'm looking a lets say the time screen it will go back to the rpm screen by itself. Any ideas why this would be happening? Thanks again for a great video.
Where did you get your screen from if you dont mind me asking??
Wow that is so cool, nice work. where do u buy all parts from the make all of these?
Can i put this in my steering wheel?
I love your vids!!
U keep making cool add ons for my drifting/racing setup!
I have no idea how hard it will be, but can u make a video how to use an
tachometer/gauge work with sim racing?
Nice Video very well done
Subbed, awesome work and thank you for sharing the knowledge (",)
Another brilliant video
Can we use it and install to a motorbike?? Please make a video hownto attach fuel gauge,speedo etc
I enjoy your videos, always give great ideas of how to make anything simple. I would like to ask, do you think this project is possible using these displays :NX8048K070 or NX8048T070
Thanks
An alternative is to use an app on your phone called Sim Dashboard.
Nice creation love it , does it show track map display with live car position on track map area in game ?
Great video and great project. One question, what screens do you use on your rig? Great minimal bezel. Keep up the great work.
27" LG IPS LED screens.
good job broooow!!!! so nice!!!!
Hello amstudio, really awesome work. :-)
I want to built also this Display, i searched ebay for the 4.3 nextion Display and found only a touch display.
Is this the right one? Also i found the information, that this disply should be used with a usb poweradapter, because instable supply easily can damage the display.
Any problems so far?
greetings
where can I get information about how to wire it for push bottons?
By the way, for those who ask about rfactor or games supported this is what i found in racedepartment
Amazing job amstudio neat, clear: fabulous!

Really useful channel , keep up the good work :)
Hey great Videos. I used one of ur vids to make a RGB Matrix/Buttonbox combo. Thanks a lot for that.
I have a few questions on this video: could this also work with a NANO ? and could it also wirk with other displays ?
What is the specialty of those Nextion displays ?
Thanks again and best regards from Germany,
HNY, Tim
Good job!
Nice video as always. How about 7-segment gear indicator?
Esse Display pode ser mudado, com outras informações? Como temperatura de pneus, motor ou classificação e voltar para marcha, velocímetro e tempo? Obrigadp parabéns pelos vídeos!
i have purchased a 7 inch nextion display and am trying to follow along with the video, but when i go to upload it just says "connection failed" "forced interrupt" was currious if you have any suggestions
Have you had any luck with correcting the error you received? I am seriously considering making something like this.
i have the same problem. did you resolve it?
Same problem here, can’t seam to get it to connect to usb port
@@GMCRaptor did u solve it?
@@Christopher-yl1fd Did you figure out a fix for this? having the same issue
Bro, i just wanna say that u have a dope setup, i love all your projects, and i'd like to know the name of this second song, do u have it?
JPB - Up & Away. Nice channel pic with all the GTRs lined up!
Exactly what i though, al the GTRs lined that way looks sick, and thank u!!
am i doing something wrong. I have to load a new dash every time i wanna change it. Is there a way to load a few at a time then scroll through them on the display
Amigo qual display e arduino está usando ? Oque mais seria necessario alem disso ? Parabens pelo trabalho,e desde já obrigado !
simhub!very nice!
I really liked the song in the vid (nice vid) and I was curious what the song was.
Hello friends!! I am amazed with these videos, and I have launched to make an f1 steering wheel with my 3d printer. I have a question, I don't know if someone could solve it, how is the connection between the tll module and the arduino promicro made? Or are two different usb cables used to operate the wheel?
Thanks for the video and for the feedback from the community, they help a lot to solve problems. All the best
I just started looking into the f1 build last night. Did you finish yours?
From what I can tell you can run 2 cables to the wheel (one for button controls, one for screen), or put a USB hub in the enclosure to only run one cable.
Cool stuff! Is there anyway the display can be mounted onto a steering wheel?
if you add magnets to your wheel base as well as the case you could pull that of pretty easily
Good day, i just wanted to confirm/ask you about your USB cable. I'm assuming that we need a Male to Male type of USB cable? Thank you for showing us your great work!
Dear Amstudio, congratulations for your videos, i made 4 projects with your indications, the last one this dash display, and works fine, but i have a little problem.... how i can change the screen? I works only with the first but for example how i can put the Ferrari 599XX? I tired but i not know how made.
Many thanks for your support.
Kind regards
Good stuff, but that music... to each their own, dude... but you need to turn in down a bit.
Are you looking at making a formula/open wheel in the future from scratch and then adding this to it, I feel like that would be lit af
Edit: are you going to make your own direct drive sim wheel sometime in the future
Yes would like to build a F1 wheel, one of the viewers has built one with the screen. He put a picture link on the gear indicator vid. Direct drive is definitely something I would like to build in the future.
Here you can find my custom formula wheel using this screen => www.isrtv.com/forums/topic/24625-t300rs-custom-f1-style-wheel/
+Davyn Dominquez, Thanks for sharing this is a really awesome job!
Hi amstudio, great job, love you work. I have a question regarding the display. Is it possible use a touch screen display at the same way you are showing? :D Thank you in advance :D
Can you swap out the (rather expensive) touch screen for another? Aliexpress have screen over half price but without touch.
Legendary mate, would the simhub software enable a manual style circle tacho as well?
your videos are awesome, do you have a website yoy order your parts from. I looked on amazon for the 4.3 nextion display but nothing came up. I've ordered parts to make some button boxes and the gear indicator. your videos are very inspiring, if you could provide a Web link to the display or a website you order from that would be AMAZING. Thank you and keep the great DIYs coming!
For all the parts, I usually just do a search in google. Ebay and Aliexpress are a good start. Then find the cheapest including postage. Some other items are brought locally.
thanks for the reply! will this work with any size nextion display or is it only for the 4.3 inch.
Great project. He would work with most games/simulators?
this is too cool
Great job! Question, do you think this display can show all the numbers & data of the Aim Mychron 5 dash data logger?
Thank you
Brillaint videos. Does this work with project cars? Cheers
Nice Channel!
Nice Vid!
What is that tape you are using to mount it together? Just normal doube sided tape? Getting the stuff for this display, the shifter and the 7inch display. Awesome builds :)
Automotive double sided adhesive tape.
Wish it was that easy to make one for my car
road to 10k!
Great Job ;-)
Can I use the Porsche Dash with another LCD or Monitor over Simhub?
one day can you tell me how you cut perfectly the box or plexiglas for your dash... ;)
GladioGaming YT cnc
where i find some economic model?
hej amstudio nice Video and thx for Sharing , but i have a question ...
will it work with my old Sony Xperia sgp512 Display? when yes can you Tell me what i have to do? Thanks!
Hi matey, the racedepartment link is broken.
Hi i would like to build this awesome display but the link isnt valid could someone please post here new link so everyone could download it?
Hi, great video. The face plate is not available fromt he site you suggested. I can't find it anywhere else. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you
Try this ebay.to/2L5af3i
Can we use other displays?
Awesome! :)
yo man your videos helping me too much for make my dream sim racing stand and what is the 1st background song it's so sexy
You need more subs
Can you show us how to wire a hand brake to a wheel base
Awesome, I was hoping you would do something like this. Do you have a link to the Display? Seems like there is quite a few of them. I've been planning to replicatev your projects and learn, Just ordered the parts for the joystick Button box :D
Search in Ebay or Aliexpress for the parts. In the description is the list of parts.
hey this dash is awesome , i'm intresting if this configuration can connect it via can bus with my car ?
Awesome
Yeah its pretty cool, I like the 599xx dash.
Nice video ! I subbed
