I think I speak for everyone when I thank you for coming back to making videos. There really is little content like yours, you explain it in a way that no one else does and without making the videos unnecessarily long. It was because of you that I bought my first SIM and I always wanted to know what else to put on it haha.
@amstudioprojects yes, everywhere i check for infos on diy buttonbox they send me to your video. 7 years later there are led buttons, we need an updated version. Lol
Thanks for coming back your DIY sim gear videos are best in YT👍👍 I buildet my own sim like a 2 years ago Because i find this channel Now simracing is my main hobby
Brilliant! I watched another video showing how to make these and it was a car-crash (pardon the pun). Lovely job and thoroughly well explained! Might even have a wee go myself now! :D
Great idea. Would love to do this and many of your projects as they look great to do. Only issue is, not everyone has access to a 3D printer. Would love to see some videos with over the counter parts with no 3D printing needed.
I agree, even though I have a 3D printer and think it's a fantastic hobby. But, if you're sure it's not for you and want to get started right now: There are many print services you can use where you just supply the model and get the part delivered. It's worth looking into

Hello ! I take the opportunity of this message to thank you for taking the time to share all the very qualitative content on your channel. I am currently building a very similar device which I want to use for flags and most importantly car spotter. Thanks !
Congratulations and thanks for the information!!! I only have one small problem: I have two displays, one for the flags and one for the gears. the gear one stays on for 2 seconds and goes off for another 2 and continues... where did I go wrong? A thousand thanks!
i already have a button box with arduino, my question is : can i put this LED flags under the same arduino at the same time? like an expansion?or do i need a new arduino just for this?
Amazing and super helpful content!! Thank you 🙏 Any idea how to connect 2 x 64bit matrixes to different dins on simhub? I see options for multiple devices but not for two of the same. I plan to have two each side of screen with different data displayed if that’s doable, plus a central led strip for rpm. Was hoping I could do andrino nano for the led strip and a single micro for each of the 2x 64 bit matrix. Any help much appreciated. Thanks again Thank you kindly 🙏
Thats amazing amstudio! I love it. I have an idea for your projects. Please do not use the pro micro in this way when using the Arduino pro micro. Because the usb port can be easily bent and broken. Insert the pro micro deep in the box and fix the usb cable connector so that it does not move. I tried many times and each time the usb port of the arduino broke.
I love what you do amstudio, but I hate that we are so dependent on Simhub - It's a shame there is not a universal "open source" option. I'd like to contribute a solution to multiple controls/displays per arduino
I built my own button box because of one of your videos. I bought the plans from your website just to support your efforts. You do very good, clean videos. Thanks so much for the content and the effort. Have you considered using the OUT side of the WS2812 to power another one?
Thanks for sharing this kind of DIY. I made this one, just a question: When I'm "When game is running" in the Menu, the matrix shows R as a reverse gear. How can I do to display nothing in this case?
Great video. I tried this myself after watching your video. With that said I have a question about a issue I'm having. The led light pattern does not match what is on the simhub screen. Any Idea on what could have gone wrong?
Steel wool scrubber. Some Soldering pen mounts have a bit of steel wool in them, usually after using, scrub the heck out the tip in there, make it SUPER CLEAN. Once that's done, apply a tiny bit of solder on the tip, then shut down and let it all cool and chill. Do this every single time, and your tip will look almost brand new every time, and stay in healthy condition.
just got all my parts. And been looking down the arduino rabbit hole... thought i was still looking down the sim race gear rabbit hole.... On the arduino they are recommending to have a separate 5v 2A supply to the LED's. I'm guessing running this a low brightness you can get away with the VCC pin for power??
I came across your videos, and saw this one and the button box one, and both use the pro micro arduino. Im working on a button box with a flag display, can I use the arduino board for the iFlag and buttons...?
Hey mate, love the videos. After seeing your boost and tachometer gauge videos, I’m planning to attempt to build a whole dash. Is there any way you could make a video on some other gauges, such as speedo, oil pressure, coolant temp etc. Cheers
Thanks for the video, please help. I have installed files to activate simhub with WRC 23 but my gears are not showing correctly. Adrino showing neutral when game shows 1st??
Another great video. I find myself here a lot lately. I guess similar birds flock together. : ) One question I have not been able to find the answer to, can you run more than one matrix from a single arduino? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am still getting my feet under me, well thanks to you actually. Again, thanks.
I have two lights set up. Any idea how to make it so the spotter lights show on their corresponding arduino? Left spotter arrow on left arduino and right spotter arrows on right arduino? I'm trying to make it so I can see the proximity arrows with my peripheral vision but I can't figure out in simhub how to do this. I've enabled multiple arduino in it.
Hi! Which version of the Arduino Pro Micro shall we use to make this kit? The 3.3V 8MHz or the 5V 16MHz version? We don't need any external power supply for this mod, correct?

Thanks enjoy!
I like your videos. You inspire the creation of these amazing things. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
@@amstudioprojects Could you run this and the 32 button DIY box off the same arduino board?
Thanks for coming back your DIY sim gear videos are best in YT👍👍
I buildet my own sim like a 2 years ago
Because i find this channel
Now simracing is my main hobby
The simplest and clearest video I've ever seen) Thanks!)
What next? Maybe, wheel with dashboard like PORSCHE 911 RSR GTE 2019?
The legend himself! good on you mate, love your videos!
Thanks!
Great to see you back man.learned so much from you over the years..
Glad to see you're back buddy! I have one of these in my electronics box that I have been meaning to hook up for months.
your channel deserves so many more views/subs, no one is doing what you're doing
It is so nice that you added more steps from the process!!
Thank you so much! As a learner of code and diy AND sim racer I can’t say much except I love you
Just love your diys! Best one on TH-cam
Thanks so much 😊
great video mate, much more detailed than previous ones, I hope to see more projects on your channel soon
I made my own SIM rig cuz your channel help me a lot! All i do is from you
Nice work!
So well presented and explained! Thank you very much.

this man is a legend love seeing you back best creator ive seen youve given me so many ideas
i dont remember getting a notification for this video so i just stumbled onto it !
Great to see you back making videos. keep up the great making videos. im going to try this, simple but very effective
finally another amazing diy video!
thank you
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks for the video everything is very clear and to the point!
your video inspired me to make mine, I hought it would just be a thing to look cool but it really helps a lot with flags and spotter arrows especially
I'm glad you're back! I always love your projects and even made 2 of them myself, keep up the amazing video's!
Brilliant work as always.
the legend has risen
Love your content! Will try this project, thanks!
You are back!

Great video 👍🏼
Is it the same setup if there is 2 of them?
Good to see you again, mate ! 😜😜😜✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Amazing video, I got it working with an 8x8 panel and an 8x1 strip to have a tacometer and gear display all running off and arduino nano!
Congratulations and thanks for the information!!! I only have one small problem: I have two displays, one for the flags and one for the gears. the gear one stays on for 2 seconds and goes off for another 2 and continues... where did I go wrong? A thousand thanks!
This one is really easy to make👍
@amstudio build it the same way and its great .... but question ... could i put a second 8x8 matrix on the same arduino just on a different pin?

Ayy, welcome back! 🤘
Am wondering if you can connect physical yellow rotating beacon lights to this board to trigger yellow flags only? 🤔
Interesting idea, a slightly different setup but should be possible
HE'S BACK!
WELCOME BACK!!!
Very interested in this project. One question, what's the mounting like? Is there holes on the back of the case or anything of that sort?
HES BACKKKKKKK YESSS
I love what you do amstudio, but I hate that we are so dependent on Simhub - It's a shame there is not a universal "open source" option. I'd like to contribute a solution to multiple controls/displays per arduino
This is so cool! Do you have to set it up or turn it on every time you race? Or is it something you can set it and forget it sort of thing?
He's back!

i have done everyting you made in the video, but in simhub when trying to upload data to the arduino, says that the COM port was not found :/
Could you maybe show how to make a shifter button box for the Logitech devices?
Thanks for sharing this kind of DIY. I made this one, just a question: When I'm "When game is running" in the Menu, the matrix shows R as a reverse gear. How can I do to display nothing in this case?
Congratulations on your videos. Can I do this DIY with arduino nano atmega 328 in conjunction with ws2812 and max7219?
Great work as always! What are you using for a printer these days?
Hi mate, using the Ender 3
Please a F1 "newer" type of steering wheel diy video!
Great video. I tried this myself after watching your video. With that said I have a question about a issue I'm having. The led light pattern does not match what is on the simhub screen. Any Idea on what could have gone wrong?
I have figured it out thank you in advance anyway lol.
are you still planing to make diy gaming wheel?
Curious to know - how do you prevent your soldering iron tips from degrading?
Steel wool scrubber. Some Soldering pen mounts have a bit of steel wool in them, usually after using, scrub the heck out the tip in there, make it SUPER CLEAN.

I have this matrix! However I’m unsure of how to wire it too a nano board is it possible? If so could you tell me where to wire too on the nano???

Im working on a button box with a flag display, can I use the arduino board for the iFlag and buttons...?
Do I always have to run SimHub in the background or do I only need the software to set everything up?
Thanks a lot !
Hello, Can this also be used as a shift light indicator!
As it flashes to notify you need to shift?
Hey mate, love the videos. After seeing your boost and tachometer gauge videos, I’m planning to attempt to build a whole dash. Is there any way you could make a video on some other gauges, such as speedo, oil pressure, coolant temp etc. Cheers
Do you have the configuration for 3D printing of the case?
Hey, could this kill usb port since it could draw lot of current when on full brightness?
Hi!
Is there please a STL available for the Box? ;)
the video you made about the tachometer. Does this still work with the new version of sim hub?
Could I use an Arduino Nano to make this? I am a complete newbie, but want to make this, and already have a Nano.
Thanks for the video, please help. I have installed files to activate simhub with WRC 23 but my gears are not showing correctly. Adrino showing neutral when game shows 1st??
Is this also possible for asseto corsa or F1 on pc?

Hey .. did u get ur answer ? I'm still looking for it.
@@parallelworld6687 No i did not. I just used two.
And it’s still not possible to give more than one “thumb up”. 😏
So I’ll do it this way, 👍🏻 times indefinitely.
Thanks!
Do you do commission builds? I want to get a 32 button box but I don't want to risk it.
nice, but where to get the stl for that case ?
Is it possible to create a bigger one of these through simhub?
Will this work with a Arduino nano instead?
I bought a 16x16 led panel and only the bottom 4x16 light up. What am I missing?
I have two lights set up. Any idea how to make it so the spotter lights show on their corresponding arduino? Left spotter arrow on left arduino and right spotter arrows on right arduino?
I'm trying to make it so I can see the proximity arrows with my peripheral vision but I can't figure out in simhub how to do this. I've enabled multiple arduino in it.
That's not the newest Simhub version... Sad to see. The newest have much more functions for the LED Matrix
Would this work for ATS/ETS2? Thanks.
Yes, it works in ETS2)
Hi ,i followed ur video bit the Matrix dont want turn on i controller the solder and 5v on board and its ok
Would this be compatible with a console? Such as a PS5
Hi! Which version of the Arduino Pro Micro shall we use to make this kit? The 3.3V 8MHz or the 5V 16MHz version? We don't need any external power supply for this mod, correct?
Guess I'll be building this I already have like 30 micros laying around
Isn’t there an usb c chip instead ? Hate micro USB connections 😅
Programed it and it all works when testing in simhub. But it will not work ingame = Iracing. I know Im missing a step, what is it.
Heads up, the neopixel board needs atleast 1 A and usually 2A, your PC port can supply 0,9A max, so an external PSU is not a bad idea
it's possible created this project used Leonardo R3 Pro Micro ATmega32U4 ?THK
Annnddd he’s back
