Thanks! Good question... had to find and test cos i totally forgot how it works... inputs are progressive. Depend on how much you trigger and turn the wheel. 😊

I solved the problem! I removed the front wheels from the axle and there was dust and hair. After cleaning and reassembling all Is OK again!

Hi, sorry to miss your post. Glad you solved the issue!

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. If you're referring to the lap counting, its a free Android software called LapTrax. You can install it to a mobile or tablet. My suggestion is to install it to a mobile phone (then place it somewhere on the track to capture the cars) and use a tablet to mirror the screen so that you do not need to keep touching the phone. For this video, I'm using a Raspberry Pi with Android installed and using it with the Pi camera. Another option is to use an Android TV box that can connect a USB camera. Just in case its about the track, its using a Yoga Mat and the curbs are 3D printed. Hope this answer your question.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Yes the project was finalize. Wanted to do a follow up tutorial on this, but unfortunately been busy. Hopefully I can find time and dig this cos its been awhile. 😅

@@simplyatomic no problem man. Really appreciate the reply. And excited to wait for the tutorial.

😀

Its 86.5 x 68 cm. Height is 51.5 cm

Thanks a lot!

Hi, sorry for the late reply and thanks! Yes, I did use the "Arduino" feature from SimHub for an initial button box build using an Arduino Pro Micro connected via USB (something like th-cam.com/video/BlItglAxh5E/w-d-xo.html). I then ported it to ESP32 which then no longer use the SimHub "Arduino" feature. The custom serial device was used for the screen to get the data.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I’ll dig deeper the serial protocol used by sim hub for custom devices :-). You had the chance to finalize you project ?

Hi, you're welcome. Yup, I did finalize the project - th-cam.com/video/A_4dtRSZH-Q/w-d-xo.html

Have replied your email 😊

did you use both cores on the esp32? Something like randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-dual-core-arduino-ide/ FYI I separated the task to both cores and its quite ok (not great but acceptable)

@@simplyatomic thanks sir, im just add millis and its work very good

@@simplyatomic sir, how to add laptime, im using +isnull([currentlaptime]), but doesnot showing

Hi, have not tried pulling off just the wheel. But @renekatuin posted that he deep clean and lube the front axle by removing the wheel. He also posted a video on how he did it ( th-cam.com/video/0H2iGrXXu8k/w-d-xo.html ) . Btw, this was for the older model not the C72, but I guess it should be identical.

@@simplyatomic Yeah i finally did it after finding another video using a flat screw driver to make the wheel pop off and the axle is too big to be bent. When you want to put back the front wheels you need a tiny bit a metal to put it inside the front and push the axel then push back the wheel. Lot's of dust and tiny hairs, now my car run like a charm again. I wonder if i can 3d print some wheels to make it drift like the c64 but without any gyro. Gonna try this week if i got some time.

@@nobocks That's great! Should be tough without a gyro but why not!

Are you trying to use RC Tx (via VRC adapter) ? If yes, not sure if this might work but maybe you can open notepad and see what keys are binded to the RC Tx and change the game inputs. FYI, in the video, am using a custom adapter that has the input settings matches the game controls.

Thanks! Replied your email 🙂

Are u referring to this - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4733866

Sounds like battery issue. If you don't use it for a long time, and the battery is left uncharged, it might drop too low causing the battery to fail. Try charging it awhile on a USB charger, sometimes this might "wake" it up. But be sure not to leave it unattended when its charging!

@@simplyatomic Okay...I'll try. Thanks

Thanks. Have replied your email 🙂

since its new, there shouldn't be any dust/dirt. try checking the transmitter steering trim, make sure its at its center point and redo it.

17 that's a lot 😍.. 1 out of 17 is not bad! Hopefully the new parts resolve it. Anyway, while waiting, maybe you wanna check the motor for the steering (see if there are any dust/dirt; check if it "gear" on it is not too loose; press down the motor to the chassis to make sure the contact is fine).

@@simplyatomic Immediately after purchasing my TR "bugs" I am doing one useful procedure : gluing with a little drop of silicone glue the both motors to make sure the are solidly flatted to the shasy and to prevent any movement and full contact with the gears. I found the problem with that Mini : The fan gear have couple of teeth damaged , and every time I pull steering to full right direction it got stacked . The new fan gears are on the way, so soon the little bug will be in perfect health ;-) And by the way - I am racing my TR bugs ONLY on my micro drome, not on the floor or outdoors. For outdoors I have another scale vehicles ;-)

Thanks, sure send me an email. Email can be found in the description.

Hi, did you email?

@@simplyatomic nope went to your profile and there's no email

@@bigesrcs Weird will check on that. Anyway its simplyatomic@gmail.com

Hi, its simplyatomic@gmail..com

Unfortunately been tied up with other stuffs lately. No indication when I can do a follow up on this.

@@simplyatomic completely understandable, I've been exactly the same with my projects too recently. I know your busy but is it possible you could share a few insights on how you did this though? I've been searching through many forums and other sites and I'm still not sure how you accomplished this using the custom serial device stuff in simhub.

@@benclimo461 sure, I used this great tutorial - dev.to/nmwilk/simhub-without-the-wires-18ij btw if you have any questions, just ask.

@@simplyatomic thanks! Somehow I never found that site. Just waiting for some buttons to arrive then I can get started on this. I was thinking about using the vocore screen or the nextion display, but unsure if it'll work currently because of bandwidth and possible lag issues. The other way I was thinking about this is to use a raspberry pi and use the WiFi with Bluetooth for the buttons. I'm trying to make a completely wireless wheel with a custom sliprig to power it so I don't have to worry about batteries.

@Ben climo You're welcome. Was thinking of the nextion/vocore as well but did not proceed. I'm with you on the possibility of lag but unable to confirm as I have neither to test. Yup, raspberry pi is also a good alternative. FYI, I did hook up the ESP with the 3.5 inch RPi Display (can be another option for you as well. both the screen and touch works, but only basic test was done, then I stop working on it) You can definitely get power from the wheel but I didn't want to open it up. 😅

It’s from an old HPI E10 rc car - HPI EN-1

Hi, using the BleGamepad library as well but rather than using the version 3.4 (NimBLE), am using the older version 3.1. Have yet to try the latest 4.1 version.

Rather than using serial.h, use BluetoothSerial.h - this link should help - dev.to/nmwilk/simhub-without-the-wires-18ij

@@simplyatomic yes im using BluetoothSerial.h, i mean how to add button? still trying to figure out on how to get the keypad.h to work as a gamepad

@@benherdiansyah1907 sorry for the late reply, will check the codes and get back to u. might take awhile as it been quite sometime.

@Ben Herdiansyah for the buttons, i did a check and it was based of the following th-cam.com/video/wkY1NsbWj5I/w-d-xo.html *made some modification in order to fit my needs. I also did some test via usb prior to Bluetooth to make sure the code works.

@@simplyatomic got my button and led worked, just tryin to figure out on how to get tm1638 on esp32 for simhub.

- rather than a separate bluetooth device, using the tablet you can modify the dash screen to add digital buttons (i assume you're using SimHub) or you can even use another mobile/tablet and create a dash that only have digital buttons - using bluetooth device for digital button is possible too but it should be paired to the pc rather than the phone

If you're using a tablet, you can also connect via wifi. Thus in this case one can connect via usb tethering and the other via wifi

Custom body, think you're looking for D1MRC

@@simplyatomic thank you

When a game is not running, no data will be sent to the ESP32. Either start a game or use a replay to get the data, my suggestion is to use replay as it's easier to trace and troubleshoot. If there is still no data, check the COM port, I did encounter this and need to change the port but this only happens when testing the codes probably due the frequent restarting of SimHub. Also in order to get 60 fps, you'll need a license for SimHub.

@@simplyatomic No worry. Thanks for the answere. I found the problem, was bad luck, I test with asseto Corsa competicione, un solo mode and thet mode have a problem of scanrate with simhub. I don't know way. I test with pc2 and everithing was right

Noted and thanks for that info. I used it mainly for ACC but I did add custom data to SimHub. Been awhile I played ACC (or any sim racing), not sure if there are changes that might affect this.

Hi, thanks. In order to get 60fps, you'll need a license for SImhub. Unfortunately can't pass the code as I have plans for it.

ciao, ho visto che hai creato un progetto con l'esp32, anche io sto cercando di usarlo, ma non riesco a far vedere il display tft collegato all esp32, hai qualche suggerimento?

Yes I do have it. Was planning to do a video on it but currently busy with another project. Maybe if there are enough interest, I will give it a priority.

No, using the stock motor. Only change the esc.

servo stock?

@@azlai768 Yes the servo is stock as well. For this setup, only change esc and added gyro and receiver.

You're welcome. Its for the mini. The newer cars are longer but can't confirm this as I do not have them.

Hi, I used this very useful posting - dev.to/nmwilk/simhub-without-the-wires-18ij as a starting point.

What screen do you use

@@user-oz1pv6nd6x For this am using - 1.44" 128x128 TFT LCD (ST7735) and 0.91" 128x32 I2C OLED Display

@@simplyatomic Thank you for your reply. I read your post above. How to use the pin on esp32 after obtaining the button of simhub

@@user-oz1pv6nd6x You're welcome. Using the pin on esp32 is quite similar to using Arduino. You can look for Arduino Button Matrix here on TH-cam. There are a few good tutorials on it.

Using ESP32 - 30 pin board

Thanks! Its based on ESP32. Will do a "build" video sometime in the future as I'm working on another project at the moment.

Im waiting for youre tutorial, thanks and great work, Will be helpful for us
