I think your videos are unique... they are short and to the point... there is no detail explanation but they give you a clear picture or an idea what to do.... just brilliant ! keep them coming. People like me who can't afford quality sim racing peripherals will definitely benefit from these kind of videos.
seriously you have such a talent! really nice videos, they encourage a lot people that does not have any idea on how to make this kind of stuff. Appreciated
amstudio I assemble the "DIY SIM RACING DASH DISPLAY" according to your video. When i start SimHub it shows the clock on the displays. I already put the plugin on to the folder win_86 for Ets2. I have donated and install the license. When i start the Ets2, the game don't show the message from SDK and the dash display don't work when i start to drive on Ets2. Can you please help me?
Rui head over to the support section on the Sim Hub download page someone can help you there. Unfortunately I don't own Ets2 to provide you with a solution.
Hello Sir! Thanks for the video, it was really helpfull. Received the parts yesterday, built it today, with a few modification (I didn't solder on the PCB/parts as you did, too afraid). I took some tiny power cables of old PCs, wich plugged perfectly. Nox, I just have to bluid a box to put it in. One more time, thanks again!
By the way, SimHub is at 5.3.1 BETA at the moment, so, as you say in the description, we gotta take the parameters you enter @4.22 in this video, and enter them like you do for the Tacho Vid', in the Hardware Setting/Open Arduino Tool/Sketch Setup. Then, it works perfectly fine on Project Cars, gonna try it with Assetto. One more question: will you authorise me to do a video and talk about that on a forum (of course, you got all the credits, as the site, the links will stay the same), but, in French (I am french, and some of my friend would like tto do the same, but english isn't their cup of tea)?!
ahh yes the burn marks of solder.... now its rare for me to burn myself but in the beginning it was almost like a 1:1 ratio 1 burn 1 soldered cable joints ...
great video..one question though..did you change the leds on the tm168 module to replicate the rev of a car?like green to red as you pres the accelerator harder
Very usefull video as always ! Thanks for sharing ☺! You should drop the different parts of the project in the description (LED board, arduino board, vinyl wrap,..) 😌.
very interesting. i had not really looked into how much support there was on the software side for this. guess this will my next project since having gear/speed/revs right on the the wheel would be very nice. i'll see if i can get away with using my current components, but if not, i'll just order the module. i had wanted to build the shifter and ebrake first, but the paddles/button seem to do fine for my use case so i might skip those and build this instead.
Hey man, awesome project. Could you please tell me where you got that particular tinted acrylic/plastic and what exactly it is called? I have bought a couple different variations off ebay to use with my current gear indicator however they all have a brown tint rather than the blueish color of the one you are using. I would love to find out exactly what kind of tinted acrylic/plastic that is so I can purchase some myself. Thank you very much for the project btw, I have wanted to do a custom HUD like this using one of my Arduino boards but never got around to it. Now that you have simplified everything I will be revisiting this project. My goal will be to install some segmented sections and individual LEDS into a custom button plate using an Arduino Nano.
Hey Seth, the HUD sounds like a good project, I'd like to add more displays and customize it further also. I used tinted perspex, also called plexiglass which I purchased from the electronics shop. It looks blueish on the video but is more a smoke/grey color. Search for - Grey Perspex - 195 x 195 x 3mm.
yea the solderin part n build is easy,the software/sketches im a lil on da fence about.. but i have ben trying to find out if it will work or can b moded to work with dirt 3 , i found out it will work with dirt rally but 3 is lot more fun i thnk..
3 things. 1, I love your videos so much. Keep up the good work. 2, can I make this without soldering? I saw that you cut the cables to solder it. And 3, how do you mount it below your monitor?
I will try to do this for the ETS2 as well as the Button Box. The bad that I live in Brazil and buy the parts and difficult to find and imported takes time to arrive.
yea i found that about 20 mins after i had msged ya.lol. but thanks again..o an i like ure big gear indactr..thts cool..,i may build tht next haha! but thanks again for all ure help...
Yes the same device that you use in this video for example 3 in first you show timing Lap in real time, the second position/gear/speed the third show rpm or delta... you think is possible-?
I'm new to this and do not know a lot about elektrical/programming stuff, so 1 more question: What wire did you use as connection(not the solder), is it just isolated copper?
I used some Arduino jumper wire from a kit I had. Also can use some 22awg wire. If your keen to learn about basic electrical and programming, I'd suggest buying a cheap Arduino beginners kit. These kits have many basic projects to learn. Send me a Direct message and I can give you some links to help you get started.
Im def gonna make this, but need little more information to make sure I buy the right parts: Is the Arduino Compatible ATmega328P Nano V3 with the 8-Bit Digital LED Tube 8-Bit TM1638 Key Display Module for Arduino gonna work?
amstudio 1 Last question, at 1:20 in the video, you point at the 5 "ports" that we have to use, the other 5 are not needed. In total 10 ports. I found a TM1638 that looks the same only difference is that it has only 5 ports, but they have the same names, vcc, grd, stb, clk and dio, and it's the half of the price, that should work aswell right?
The Nano V3 ATmega328P you listed in your description is a diferent one than you actually used. The one you used in the Video is a RobotDyn ATmega328/CH340G. The Chips apparently are the same.. Still I´m a little confused which one would work better as I have no idea of these electronics. Help would be appreciated :D thx!
What are the buttons below the LEDs for and can they be rewired, Also do you know if this will work on other games that werent mentioned in the description such as forza horizon 5?
Are there like...Different displays you can have on the screen? I'm probably going to make this (it will cost me £15) but I'm not a huge fan of that layout. Eventually I would like a proper one that this guy makes with an LCD screen, but the Nextion screen he uses is kinda hard to get (have to order it from over seas) in the UK and it's expensive, so I might just make this instead for now.
What are your settings RPM % settings for F1 2018? I just can't get it to match with the sim. Or they blink to early or way to late. Nice and quick project was awesome to make. I am using the Red Bull F1 car 2018( I don't know if all the cars in F1 2018 are equal)
Hey amstudio, I have been watching your tutorials multiple times for a while. First I'll want to thank you for spending so much time and effort for these videos. I already ordered the parts for this one. But I would want to combine this one with the RGB LEDs from your other video. Is this possible with just one Arduino Nano? And is this possible without having and experience in coding? I hope to hear back from you. Thanks
That was an amazing job! Very good video!! I would like to know how did you attached the display to the TV/Monitor?! Could you explain how you did it?!
Very well, but is possible clockwise of 180° ? LED bar is more racing UP, do you have suggestion for make this mod ? (I think the mod is on simdash..)Thanks!
I love your channel and i love your mod...just awesome. I have a question, in this mod can i add 10 or 12 push button? thanks if you answer and keep on this way ;)
Yes it can be inverted. Go to Simhub > Plugins> Arduino display > Display & Alerts . Under Seven segment Modules you can select the orientation "Reverse display"
im looking to make the button box that you have shown- but with an lcd display- im a complete noob at electronics and this will be my first project- anything i need to be aware of- or overlaps in the guides i need to know?
I am looking to build this for my DIY Racing Sim setup, what type of Plexiglass were you using and what thickness? Also where do you get your Carbon Fiber Vinyl decals from?
Well i finaly got around to building one o these for me an one of my sim racing brother.lol. and i was wondering if u knew how to change the speed from kmh to mph? i will figure out the rest.lol. thanks.. o an another great video..!
Great work! Start SIMHUB, go to Plugins > Arduino Display > Screens. Double click on Main Screen. Select DataCorePlugin.GameData.NewData.SpeedKmh click on PICK . Search through the Properties Picker and select DataCorePlugin.GameData.NewData.SpeedMph Then click SAVE.
I have one of these style shifter light n speed board but I broke a capacitor wonder if I can replace it n will need a new USB cable as think i lost it.

People like me who can't afford quality sim racing peripherals will definitely benefit from these kind of videos.
I did it myself. It costed me 15 euros and took me around 45 min. It's awesome, not gonna lie.
Nice! Yeah its a good project.
amstudio One question man, what did you use to attach it to the wheel?
Made a small metal bracket, attached behind the wheel.
where did you get the parts? im in the UK
Does it work with ps4
I was wondering if anyone had worked out how to pull these details from ingame... absolutely sensational 👏
Finally someone with a brilliant intelligence could do it
PD : The Best channel Of SimRacing DIY
no thats just insane first the handbrake second buton box and third this little screen with these pieces you can make the best racing simulator EVER
Awesome video like always!
instablaster...
I just discovered your TH-cam channel. You're doing the projects I want to do. I look forward to your new videos.
Congratulations!
Thanks!
@@amstudioprojects I totaly agree with Melih. Can this display also be adapted with an ps4 or is it pc only?
@@marnkleinholkenborg5852 PC only, you need Sim Hub to use it.
seriously you have such a talent! really nice videos, they encourage a lot people that does not have any idea on how to make this kind of stuff. Appreciated

im doing this one first! then the gear indicator thank you so much for making these videos going to make my sim racing experience so much better!!!!!!
One of the best tutorial TH-camrs ❤❤
Awesome as usual
Thanks Kai!!
amstudio were do you get your parts
Chickedyy i think he cut it whith a knife or a cuter be careful it is very frajile
Brought the parts today, thanks for a very professional and easy to follow tutorial
Software is even easier to setup now, its all included within SimHub
Dude ... That Marga Cipta (MC) Acrylic tho! Awesome!
Well I put mine together today and it works great. Thanks for your videos man!
I build it yesterday and it works great, thank you for your Videos
you should start a company and build this stuff and sell it. I bet you would make a lot of money
That’s what I’m saying
Good Job, mate!
I ordered the parts and built one myself, it works and looks awesome!
Nice!
Outstanding work, you encouraged me to do this. Kudos for you!
Do it yourself, make it BETTER! GOOD WORK, man!
I enjoy watching your videos man, good stuff..
Thanks again!

How much would it be to buy an assembled one? I'm not comfortable with soldering yet and I'd undoubtably screw something up.
its extremaly expesive that way. 100 - 200 usd
anyone can make this for less than 20€
Death2508 solder is easy like an hours and you'll have a few burn marks but you could easily solder that it was like 7 soldering points
ahh yes the burn marks of solder.... now its rare for me to burn myself but in the beginning it was almost like a 1:1 ratio 1 burn 1 soldered cable joints ...
Ricardo Pinho happened to just a minute ago, didn't even notice, must be immune to solder pain XD
How do I change the model to show fuel and air pressure in ETS2 and ATS? Making a video will help me a lot!
push the second button from left to right
Looking dope!, just want one thats work in my real car haha. Nice video man!
great video..one question though..did you change the leds on the tm168 module to replicate the rev of a car?like green to red as you pres the accelerator harder
Really enjoying these videos!
You are insane!! Keep Up the good work :D
You're awesome man, I like your videos.
Time to Subscribe :) Thanks for sharing ...P.s why dont you use carbon fibre sheets? 2mm should be ok for your projects...
Very usefull video as always ! Thanks for sharing ☺! You should drop the different parts of the project in the description (LED board, arduino board, vinyl wrap,..) 😌.
im thinking about building this very soon .. maybe 2 of thm.. thinks for the video good job !!!
Hey Bigchew, yeah its a great project.
That is such a great build indeed. Salute for your hard work. One problem though , Those racedept files are deleted any way i can get it?
Cool video! Although Im wondering which type of wire you used? I have to select between 30/28/26/24/22/20/18awg
very interesting. i had not really looked into how much support there was on the software side for this. guess this will my next project since having gear/speed/revs right on the the wheel would be very nice. i'll see if i can get away with using my current components, but if not, i'll just order the module. i had wanted to build the shifter and ebrake first, but the paddles/button seem to do fine for my use case so i might skip those and build this instead.

==========================
That marga cipta perspex is from my country hahah
This is some awesome stuff!
I will try to do this for the ETS2 as well as the Button Box. The bad that I live in Brazil and buy the parts and difficult to find and imported takes time to arrive.
Did it work?
Nice video, keep up the good work!
p.s. do you now always need to start a game in the SIMHUB?
Just need Sim Hub running in the background before starting the game. Then you can launch the game as normal.
Everybody gangsta till amstudio comes in with the carbon fiber vinyl
You just earned a sub
If you lack a soldering iron use the pins of the board and the nano(if the one you buy has pins) and use jumper wires (female to female)
yea i found that about 20 mins after i had msged ya.lol. but thanks again..o an i like ure big gear indactr..thts cool..,i may build tht next haha! but thanks again for all ure help...
Jays wondering what you used to mount this to the bottom of your monitor? Also what was the plastic you used for the faceplate? Plexiglass?
Dude you are the best !
can you do a video where you use more display 3 or 4 in a very complete dash...witch schematics and sketch? Ty for your video...they are fantastic
Thanks, do you mean like linking together this type of 7 segment display?
Yes the same device that you use in this video for example 3 in first you show timing Lap in real time, the second position/gear/speed the third show rpm or delta... you think is possible-?
Perfect video, I just bought the parts, are the tm1638 buttons programable ?
I love your video! I always wondering.....how do you mount that display dashboard under the monitor? I always want to try it out. Thanks!
you do awesome job man!
best diy g29 mods chanel for sure
can plz you make a setup video, i am sure it will be great
Wie immer super Video du bist der beste , weiter so

I recommend using the same version TM1638 like I did as it has Dual Color LEDS.
nice video, very impressive. for noooobs like me .... I had to install the USB driver to select "COM4". I have a nano V.3 "GoodLuck"
Good work!
I like your video, this is obsessive compulsive disorder
Thank you very much for this!
hi there great video i have build 2 off these, question how do get them both running at the same time
The Nano V3 ATmega328P you listed in your description is a diferent one than you actually used.

Same problem on iRacing with Mazda MX5 CUP
Hi, awesome video! I have an Arduino one R3 , can I do the dashboard with this arduino? Thanks!
Its essentially the same , just nano is a smaller size

That was an amazing job! Very good video!! I would like to know how did you attached the display to the TV/Monitor?! Could you explain how you did it?!
Great vids! Very useful
Do you think it's possible to add a separate 1inch 1 digit 7segments led for the gear? This would be great!
Thanks
Could you give me the link for the plastic, and what types of screws, nuts, and drill sizes did you use? How did you cut the plastic?
Hello, what AWG (30,28,26,24,22,20,18) type is being used as the copper wire?
Great! but can i change the colour of the led? (i want led 6,7 and 8 blue)
Very well, but is possible clockwise of 180° ? LED bar is more racing UP, do you have suggestion for make this mod ? (I think the mod is on simdash..)Thanks!
In SimHub go to Arduino Display > Display and Alerts > Orientation> Tick box "Reverse display"
Thanks! but also 7 segment word ?
Hi! I wonder what are you using for plastic cover board. What shall I type in Ebay? :D Thank you! Keep up the great works of art!
Grey / Tinted Perspex 3mm
Thank you!!!
carbon wrap team lets goooo!!
I love your channel and i love your mod...just awesome. I have a question, in this mod can i add 10 or 12 push button?
thanks if you answer and keep on this way ;)
love your vids man! very easy to replicate!
peace & respect!!
hi. I love your videos, I've done this project and nextion....it is possible to reverse 180 degrees? with the LED lights above :)
Yes it can be inverted. Go to Simhub > Plugins> Arduino display > Display & Alerts . Under Seven segment Modules you can select the orientation "Reverse display"
amstudio thank you so much
You going to do SQ shifter? :D
All your sim diy videos are awesome 👍👍
im looking to make the button box that you have shown- but with an lcd display- im a complete noob at electronics and this will be my first project- anything i need to be aware of- or overlaps in the guides i need to know?
Brilliant! Subbed
Is there a display such as this one without the shift lights? like the shift lights in your other video better, but like the look of this display. =]
I am looking to build this for my DIY Racing Sim setup, what type of Plexiglass were you using and what thickness? Also where do you get your Carbon Fiber Vinyl decals from?
Used 3mm grey tinted plexiglass. Carbon fiber vinyl from ebay. Search for - 3D Carbon Fiber Vinyl .
Thank you I will take a look for those! :D
where did u get the plate that u put with carbon fiber dude? Ty for the videos! Cheers from Spain
Its 3mm grey perspex, then wrapped in carbon vinyl.
Awesome Video, Unfortunately my display isnt working correctly. The nano took the sketch just no display.
Well i finaly got around to building one o these for me an one of my sim racing brother.lol. and i was wondering if u knew how to change the speed from kmh to mph? i will figure out the rest.lol. thanks.. o an another great video..!
Great work! Start SIMHUB, go to Plugins > Arduino Display > Screens. Double click on Main Screen. Select DataCorePlugin.GameData.NewData.SpeedKmh click on PICK . Search through the Properties Picker and select DataCorePlugin.GameData.NewData.SpeedMph Then click SAVE.
What and where can i buy the colored wires? Great video!
nice work ! can I use arduino pro micro instead of nano ?
Why The nano v3 isn't the same one that you used ? Not gonna be a problem isn't it ?
you make great videos!
There are many apps for both ios and android and they are actually really good and cheap😃
Hugo Strömberg example?
Mustasurma45 i use race car Dash for projectcars bit serch in the app store or android store for your game and dash and you should fond somerhing good
how did you get the wheel working so well with assetto ? like the ''soap effect'' is non Existenced...
Great video, but how to mount this board to the wheel? Thats the question. I have G920 and there is just nothing where I could mount it
menzáč mount it behind.
menzáč i got the g920 too, the shape of it is really awkward for this sort of thing, it would still be great to fit it somewhere
Amazing Video, Thanks. Will this work with PS4 GT Sport ? Or do we need to mod the Mod :-) ?
I have one of these style shifter light n speed board but I broke a capacitor wonder if I can replace it n will need a new USB cable as think i lost it.
Awesome! Can I somehow make simhub listen to the UDP stream from Project Cars 2 @ the Playstation 4??
Hello Amstudio sorry but the mod of the TM1638 Hub Parckage display that you download from the race department is not there. Where do you download?
See this latest video th-cam.com/video/AbLSNcKhkuE/w-d-xo.html, Then just setup the TM1638
I need the Assistant setup to change the display numbers ?:
HubPackage-> Arduino-> DisplayClientV2 -> SetupAssistant
Amstudio could you give me your email that I write to you and send you a screen of the file?
Paky31ta@gmail.com
I know this video is old but what did you use for the cover plate...was it wood glass plastic?

Repetitive but holly I love them all
Is it possible to use an Arduino Pro Micro for this project or only Nano ? I'm learning Arduino but i don't know differences between cards. Thanks !
Hello mate,
Can I use an arduino pro micro for this project? Which connections should I use in case it works?
Nano for this project
