Display also shows, best lap times, Low fuel warning, Tyre pressure.
It will show a digital clock when first on and not in game play.
The switches control display brightness and scroll through modes. These can easily be rewired from the back. For now have added a rear switch to control brightness.
SimHub must be running for the display to work.

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.
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 👏
I just discovered your RUclips 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.
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
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
Awesome video like always!
instablaster...
Finally someone with a brilliant intelligence could do it
PD : The Best channel Of SimRacing DIY
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
Thanks!
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.
Dude ... That Marga Cipta (MC) Acrylic tho! Awesome!
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!!!!!!
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
One of the best tutorial RUclipsrs ❤❤
Idk if anyone will see this, but what size wire is used here? I am looking to complete this project along with the vibrating pedals and I am trying to get a parts list together. Any info would greatly help
Hello, what AWG (30,28,26,24,22,20,18) type is being used as the copper wire?
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
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?
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?
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
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 !
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?
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.
amstudio awesome, thank you very much for the reply 👍
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.
Hi, I've got the same dashboard, but working only with Assetto Corsa, Richard Burns Rally and Dirt Rally.
Why dosn't work with Project Cars, and ETS2? Please help!
Thanks.
Where can I found SIMHUB PACKAGE?
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..
Will male to male connector wires work just fine if they are just generic or do they have to be male to female wires that you solder in to it? I only have male to male but everything else is ready so just trying to figure that out
Cool video! Although Im wondering which type of wire you used? I have to select between 30/28/26/24/22/20/18awg
Hello
I have ordered the parts needed for the TM1638. But can not find any dimensions for the board. Can you tell me how big the front sheet must be.
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?
Hi I can not download racing dash 4.0.6fix 2 ,I can not find it,omeone would help!! thanks
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
Hi. Im using a BBJ stuff with a Simhub software. I'm trying to change the colors but can't do it, any advise ? Should I set new RGB and TS or what ? CHanging colors in software wont change them in device
ok so ive tried this build, and i cant get it to work. all the soldering is correct with no cross overs, ive flashed the nano with the correct software in the correct format. but it just wont work. any suggestions?
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
Perfect video, I just bought the parts, are the tm1638 buttons programable ?
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?
Why The nano v3 isn't the same one that you used ? Not gonna be a problem isn't it ?
I have my my sketch uploaded and now dirt 4 wont recognise the board. Im running it through sim hub but what do i have to do to make it work ? also my next question is when i play assetto corsa it all works but it keeps flicking from one display to the next. Can i just display one setting ? i would like to toggle between different displays can i assign this to a button ? any help is greatly appreciated.
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!
Hi, work perfectly with Asseto but doesn't work with project cars; any solution? I only have "idle" mode, I mean the hour.
Hi mate! Can you help me? I cant figure out how to make the LEDs work right. I'm using a TM1638 with red leds, 8 in total. Thanks
Can you combine this with the boost gauge and tacho? Can it run on 1 Arduino or do I need to buy 3?
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)
Same problem on iRacing with Mazda MX5 CUP
How can you mount on the wheel without making the cable into mess while turning the wheel or did you wired the nano arduino into the g29 wheel? Because I want to mount it on the wheel just like yours in 0:01
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.
amstudio Thnx mate, keep up the good work!
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.
can I use the tachometer, this panel dash and RGB REV LIGHTS, in the same arduino nano v3?
how much would one of those cost me if you build one for plug and play for g29 for ps4?
friend, I want to make for Euro Truck Simulator 2. wanted to know if it shows when it arrives at speeds 10, 11, 12?
Is there no possible way to make these compatible with Forza, mainly Horizon 3 and the new Forza 7 coming out
Hey!
Can I use multiple displays like this, rpm meter, boost gauge, gear shift indicator etc...hope I get a reply soon from AM!
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.
hi I got the parts and followed all the steps but the software is upgraded and different. there was also no com4 option for me and now it won't work can you help?
Where can i find the simhub software?
I know this video is old but what did you use for the cover plate...was it wood glass plastic?
ruclips.net/video/aLohcEFa850/видео.html
Salve ho creato anche io questo progetto usando un tm1638 e arduino uno, l'unico problema è che i led dei giri motore si accendono tutte di rosso. Come potrei risolvere ?
+amstudio Hi, Do you know if this 8 bit display can showcase RPM's (most likely 5 digits) and if I can combine multiple of them at once? I Am looking to make a indycar style wheel and I think this is possibly the way to do it with this dashboard.
would this work for f1 2020?
how did you get the wheel working so well with assetto ? like the ''soap effect'' is non Existenced...
Time to Subscribe :) Thanks for sharing ...P.s why dont you use carbon fibre sheets? 2mm should be ok for your projects...
can i use only 5 led,resistors and an arduino, for the rpm? how i can configure simhub? can you make a tutorial? it is usefully for who don't have got a tm1638 or similar.
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)
Great! but can i change the colour of the led? (i want led 6,7 and 8 blue)
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
Amstudio but with euro truck simulator 2 how can I use the display? Do I have to reprogram on the arduino?
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?
Just updated the description, added some links for you.
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?
I recommend using the same version TM1638 like I did as it has Dual Color LEDS.
may i ask what wires u are using how "AWG" because the ebay link is showing a few others.
hola como hago para conseguir la configuración del Arduino si me puedes ayudar
can I use unbranded/generic nano board for this or is Arduino Nano legit version necessary?
I can use this dash in rfartor 1 normal one, without using Automobilista's mod?
Hi I just bought everything that you used in the video but I don’t have any of those cables for the chipboard with the numbers and Rev count but I did get one big grey cable with it, do I have to cut it open or do I need to buy the cables?
You can use that grey cable. Cut it to suit or plug in and trace the wires to each pin. I just used colored wires so it would be easier to see for the vid and so the front plate would fit on nice and neat.
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
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)?!
Do it yourself, make it BETTER! GOOD WORK, man!
Did you have the arduino sketch ??
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 ruclips.net/video/AbLSNcKhkuE/видео.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
Can i use an Arduino One for this dash display? Can i Connect the wires in the same positions?
is there an alternative for the display? its out of stock :(
edit: found it :)
hi! i modded my g29 wheel to add a handbrake, now i feel like it has poor vibration, is it possible a wire got cut or somethung like that? u know how can i test the ffb?
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!
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?
what do you use for carbon fibre wrap for these builds?
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
a few months ago i posted a question about how i have made this but can someone please tell me why my dash display keeps cutting over to different read outs ?? all i want is to permantly display speed current gear with the shift lights. is this done in sim hub, do i need to remove screens or something like that. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA
I finished up my build (exact as your just havent done the pretty stuff yet) and I am running into the problem that the Sim Hub software is not connecting to my games. Any solutions? I own both F1 2016 and Pcars both are not syncing with the sim hub. My 1638 LED screen is only showing the time.
If the time is showing that means simhub and wiring to the arduino + tm1638 is correct. It will be between simhub and the game. Id suggest checking game paths.
amstudio
thanks i did this project exactly as you did but i have some issue the screen is showing the time but when i start the game from simhub it show only zero any suggestion thanks
Ciao
Non riesco a trovare questo codice.
Il link al codice sotto il video è diverso dal tuo.
Puoi inviare nuovamente un link al codice?
Grazie!
Well I put mine together today and it works great. Thanks for your videos man!
i done everithing right but the display doesnt show nothing, what am i doing wrong?
what thickness of clear plastic and where are you getting it?
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. =]
Would this dash display also work on Xbox One? Or do you need different software for that?
For PC only
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
hi there great video i have build 2 off these, question how do get them both running at the same time
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 ?
Do using these particular lights require soldering?
Is there a way to incorporate the buttons to this?😊
Will this work with the tm1638 which has the leds on top?
Hey, im buying the components, but i would like to know what infoemation can i select to appear?
