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. 😅
I already have a tablet as a dash screen via usb tethering, is Bluetooth able to be connected also for a phone for digital button box with a usb tether tablet connected at the same time for dashboards?
- 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
@@陆宏扬 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.
@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.
Hi witch library are you using for sending and receiving data and for using as gamepad ? I try using ble gamepad and bluetooth serial but i cant make them work together.
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.
Hey, congrats for the project. I am in a similar project and I have a code for ESP32 but I have an issue with the scanrate, it´s too slow. Can I ask you for the code? for compare with mine...
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.
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)
Any update to this at all? I'm very interested in making this work. Is it possible for you to share your plans, I know that you said you had plans for it but not sure if that is still happening.
@@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.
@@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. 😅

I really want to build the same project. Have you finalize the project? can you share the code for this? or tutorial would be great. Cheers!

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

How did you connected esp32 with simhub? Can you share your sketch for esp32?
Hi, I used this very useful posting - dev.to/nmwilk/simhub-without-the-wires-18ij as a starting point.
What screen do you use
@@陆宏扬 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

just wondering how to add button over bluetooth serial.h, since i cant figure out on how to get fastled to work over ble-gamepad.
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.

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.

Do you have any schematics and code for this?

Which controller did you used. I wanted to do something similar with ESP32
Using ESP32 - 30 pin board
i made like this, keypad and and display working well. but its to slow, not accurate
