Ford Fusion Instrument Cluster and BeamNG.Drive

Instrument cluster connected via CAN bus to the Raspberry Pi 4 via MCP2551. Raspberry Pi receives JSON payload via LAN with data for the instrument cluster, and convert this JSON payload to the CAN frames.

Hello! I have a cluster from a 17 focus and I like to wire it up and code it up to work like this. Can you please help me?

You should try this with a Chevy Trailblazer gauge cluster, i heard that it has signal wires for the speed, and RPM, just go through the pinout.

one quick question, this can also be done using a can shield and arduino right? Or Raspberry pit is a necessity for this cluster?

Probably u can do this with only CAN shield and Arduino, but u must write code to send BeamNG data to Arduino trough UART

@@_HermanH_ There is already a code for the regular analog gauge cluster version of the fusion. But I like the digital one like you have.
Yes, I'm planning to adapt your code to one compatible with simhub. In that case it can be run with wider range of games. I'm not an expert coder, so I expect it will be a while before I can get it done after sorting all the issues xD. Currently busy with getting a Porsche cluster ready. BTW this is awesome what you have done!!

Good day sir do you have a video tut perhaps of connecting I've been looking a way with raspberry to do this I dont have a Arduino

Hi. I using Raspberry Pi 4 + MCP2515, MCP2515 connected to RPi through SPI interface, with my custom Pyhton code with python-can lib.
