How the hell could anyone dislike this video?! Oh wait, I know........sim wheel manufactures.
Or trolls
xd
82 of them? This is a bigger business than I thought…
@@TotoDG every employee from every company xD
How the hell could anyone dislike you?,Oh wait, I know........sim wheel manufactures.
These projects amaze me more and more each time, I have only been able to make the handbrake you designed myself but still think the videos are awesome!!
Thanks Stephen!
@@amstudioprojects can I ask where was the detail on how you wired the screen
when you put the back plate on it doesnt look connected to anything. I'm stuck at this part. do I need 2 usb leads coming out one gojng to to the screen to power and display and the 2nd one for the buttons and shifters?
@@amstudioprojects at 2:07 I cant see how I need to wire the screen so theres only one usb lead coming from the wheel (that's if it's designed to only have one usb lead)?
amstudio ow I see lol you wired the screen to the board I got it but is there a video you can link me where you show how to wire the screen to board
@@Simlife101 Guy left the chat
Amazing video. I'd love to see a DIY H shifter video sometime.
check out his channel, he has one
@@samk7738 at the time there wasnt
@@theothergtgeek9407 And there souldn't be today either, he copied the design without mentioning the original owner.
Roberto he showed and mentioned where he got it from and from who from it was,didnt he?
@@Paul-ni4fs Not the original creator and also profiting off it...
Another great project. I'll be building an F1 wheel that I designed myself very soon, and luckily I now know how to wrap the handles in suede. Thanks for the great videos mate!
great vid. tip for the handles. first use memory foam to the handles and then attach alcantara or suedine, it gives u more 'full' grip
we are living in 2017, meanwhile this guy is living in 3017
I'm just. You know, I can't, I'm more like a dude whos super excited when I manage to remap buttons on my wheel... This is some black belt DIY stuff!
Right!!! He handy as SHIT LOL
Alexis Vanloan
huh? the only person who can’t do shit is you. (besides making sandwiches)
@Dragos Frintura, its 2019 nearly 2020 n he is still there
lol do you go on wood working channels and go "this guy can cut wood in STRAIGHT lines"
cool your project, but you did not show how you adapted in fanatec, you did not show the wires coming out of the steering wheel and that will probably mess up when it comes to playing and also when the steering wheel does the calibration, did you use a quick release?
I liked the video but I still have a lot of information
Probably used a quick realease, but the wires come from the board inside the wheel where he soldered everything in, he just passed a usb through and used some programs that can be easily google ( that i dont know off) to map them
Video is very good and also the end result. I come from automotive production background and can't help to imagine how expensive it would be to manufacture something like this - very expensive because of the amount of manual labor required. The electronic components, 3D printing, nuts and bolts, the alcantra gluing...
Hello! Thanks for your works! How to conect the arduino and the screen module? Two usb wires? You miss this part at vídeo. Thanks for all!
La mas importante diría yo
Im planning to build a box out of mdf and carbonfoil front, with a slide-in tablet as second infodisplay. under the tablet i'll attach a missilestyle on/off power switch with red an green led lamps next to it, to indicate if the wheel has power or not.
...And then i see this video and suddenly feels like a 6 yearold trying to build a fancy castle with two chairs and a blanket. Great video !!!!
Great. I really like custom made panels and electronic equipment. Keep on building. Gave me some ideas for when I am rebuilding the dashboard of my boat. I'll add lots of buttons and digital LED displays to give it the ultimate 80's look
Just bought the kit *digi-download* and quick release for the Thrustmaster wheel. I have a TMX, but I'm fairly handy with CAD and have designed some CNC machinery so I'm hopeful I can make what I need/3d Print any additional parts to make the TX quick release work with the TMX wheel. Thanks for the great project.
Kimi now has his steering wheel
ay steering wheel someone tell to give it to me come on move!
I genuinely love all of your content, I'm subscribed on all 4 of my channels so I never miss a new video. Please never quit youtube. Also will you be doing video on what your everyday racing setup is at home? That would be great for us viewers! Upvote this so he can see please?
im making this
great vid as always
can you make a vid on how to make a steering wheel hub
+1 for the hub
Hub for logitech)
fanatec +1 hub
Fanatec hub +1
A. Pashukkk yes pls
HAHA I KNEW THIS VIDEO WOULD COME EVENTUALLY.
Executed perfectly mate, top job
wtf bro this looks like it came straight from a racing museum how are you so good
This is a great project, but like everyone else, I want to kno how it is connected and works with your fanatec wheel base.
Better than perfection, your DIY are outstanding !
Thanks! Simhub really brings these projects to life!
Hi friends,1638 howti reverse display?thanks
@@TSEMoon "Hi Friends"
@@amstudioprojects Which 3d printer do you use though for all of these sim videos. They are awesome!
I have not yet been this impressed
Do you use 2 USB, one for the lcd and one for the arduino? If not, how do you connect the USB to TTL module with the arduino?
this.
I would like to know the answer to that question as well
I almost have my steering wheel project completed and I got it working with only one USB connected to the steering wheel, I used a USB HUB inside the steering wheel.
@@javiermj9010 can you tell me how to do this? Do you have Instagram or reddit?
hey bro, do u have ino file for andruino ?
ive watched this for like 10 times this week
ive watched it 30-40 times lol
hey i have a question is this wheel compatible with Logitech g920 to be added on. Thanks
Sure
Moisés Tovar lol easy
Thanks a lot, fantastic work. I'd love to have a custom Porsche 919 rim to be honest..
Lukas Wirtz Get the rim and attach it to the Fanatec Universal Hub
which rim though :P
Some of the items aren't avaible anymore... Would you like to update it? Plus, how do you make your screen working with the game? How do you connect the wheel and the wiring to the rest of it? Great video but I would like some more informations! Thanks!
Jeremie Dumas
usb to something Called Adrino board and uses Software called simhub Which is free For the
display. You can even use a tablet or mobile phone for simhub. Look on RUclips for how to use your smart device as a sim display, That is what I am doing at the moment.
Hope that helps you
Hello. We can't see the nano V3.0 in your steering wheel. We can see the Pro Micro and the FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter Module so was the nano optional? Also at 2:06 when you close the back cover we can see that there is nothing connected to the USB to TTL module. Have you solder it directly at the Pro Micro and is so, what pin have you used? Thanks
Awesome work, but u forgot to mention that without the Fanatec Universal HUB (as of right now), Force Feedback wont work on the wheelbase, please keep that in mind guys.
Ahhh! I currently have their PS4 kit in my kart and said t0 myself, •but doesn’t the wheelbase have to detect the wheel!?!?” I’ve seen that podium wheel hub thing but it’s functionality never really clicked in my head until now. That’s pretty fucking awesome to see that Fanatec supports this! I wasn’t even planning on going the DIY route (apart from creating a custom cockpit) but if I had known more about this I provably would’ve *at least* considered creating my own wheel as well. Hhmmm....you know what, nah. I’ll stick with the official gear for now. I’ll wait till I have more throwaway money saved up before getting into the custom side of sim racing cause I can already see it spiraling down lol.
Hey! I wanted to ask if I could use a usb joystick encoder for the buttons and something else for the display separately and connect both the wires to the pc, would it work?
great video i subscribed. i was always struggling to get a wheel for economical reasons and this made my day thank you
Wow, and i feel badass for making the LED Rev-counter.
From the video it looks that only one usb cable comes from inside the wheel, but inside there are 2 devices that need usb( the Promicro and the FT232RL USB to TTL module) how didi you managed that ? you puted a passive hub inside?
Im building this
Hello. @@emersonmarques1174 I wounder the same thing. Where the USB to TTL module is connected???. at 2:06 when he close the back cover the USB to TTL module is still not connected. I wounder if he soldered it to the Pro Micro somewhere but we can't see. and apparently he doesn't reply to comments...
Im a spanish boy and anyone in Spain do this type of videos with this quality.
Can you make a video of doing pedals?
How i love DIY where you need to be cnc expert, 3D printer expert and electronic geek...
Very good job men, you make a lot of nice things for sim racing, i realy like your channer ist very useful for me.. continue bro good job
Thanks!
How do you wire the screen and the buttons so they’re a only 1 cord going to the computer?
Does this display work with playstation 4? For F1 2020 for example?
Can you make one with clutch paddles too
So it needs two USB cables? One for the screen and one for the buttons?
So does this require two USB connections or did you have something to make screen and buttons work off of one?
Geez arguably nicer than a wheel from one of the big sim gear makers.
This is great, how do you end up with one USB output when there is both the pro micro and TTL? Do they both connect somehow?
Wish a had that talent for diy sooo beutifall how you made it nice job
Have you thought about getting an wirelless or bluetooth controller so there is no annoying cables and you can put it in any any base without troubles?
Do you also solder the LCD arunido to the buttons encoder as well? Or do you connect 2 USB cable?
Which sketch did you use for Arduino? The one used for the button box?
How did you get the metal plate? There is a 1:1 formula rim template?
i need to know too. :D metal plate and 3D printed parts are not mentioned in the part list in the description. im guessing he designed and printed 3D parts himself. And that metal plate.. I know you can find companies that will laser cut you any shape but it will be nice to have same source as him.
Buy a sheet of aluminum and trace the outline of it. Then use a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade
You must use two separate USB cables, right? One for arduino and the other for USB to ttl module.?
Hello,
I made a simular steering wheel with : 1 arduino card leonardo for the control of the buttons on the steering wheel and a FT232RL USB to TTL Module Board which is linked an LCD screen for data display. It must be able to connect these two cards together because my steering wheel output is on 4 branches (GND, 5V, D +, D-).
I use a HUB USB 2.0 but the LEOANRDO card and the FT232RL USB doesn't work with this UB USB.
Do you have this problem before ? What's the solution please ? Thank you
Can you drive with this steering wheel in a real GT/formula car assuming you build this as a personal project?
You did better than Fanatec and Thrustmaster!!! Very good!!
Thanks for including the part list. Will really help me with mine. Great vid.
3d model to download?
Of course the dash on the McLAREN is easy to read it’s 6” from your face now😁😆. Excellent video dude.👏💘👍💎
How much did it cost to make?
And where can I get the kit
Dude, I would like to make a wheel like this. How can I get the complete project with all the necessary information?
Its a 3d rap kit.
Can you make a new Video about the nextion Displays, because in the new simhub setup isn't a nextion folder
Looks good 👍
I hope that I can build the same next year!
Greeks from Germany
I'm trying to see if it's feasible to make a replica 2017 911 RSR wheel similar to what you have here for my Thrustmaster. Thoughts?
How is the screen powered? is it connected to the pro micro somehow, or do you have two usbs coming out of it?
Finished better than the Fanatec one, nice work mate!
How hard is it to use an arduino and regular tft over the nextion? They are SOOOO costly.
Hi, You have used a nextion display but 3drap team, in the complete wheel (not kit) use usbd480 display so they can use Z1 software instead of simhub. The dimension between holes axis on nextion and usbd480 is different so I don't understand how It is possible assemble nextion display instead of usbd480. Can you explain us? Thx
Hi !
Great job ! I'm trying to do the same thing, but I have one question :
How did you connect the red card with the blue Arduino card ? (Or are there 2 USB cables connected to your PC ?)
Thanks !
The Red Card is for the Nextion display, which won't be connected to the Arduino. So yes, it should be 2 Cables to the PC
What have you done with the screen on the steering wheel? How do you connect it so you can see the same thing that you see in the game!?
Excellent project. I have been wanting to make an f1 wheel.
Some off your project has inspired me to make my own.
Thanks Mate.
You're a genius! I could never build this
Amstudio exellent video as always, I have just finished building this wheel with the help of your video and I have all the all switches working as they should, but as a newcomer to sim racing and not understanding very much I would you be willing to share your button setup for asseto corsa that you are using in your race video, as I dont know what switch is used for what, I would be truly greatful for your help, please keep doing these great videos they are awsom.
Hey Amstudio i have a question ist it possible to sell like These 3d printed parts for them they cant afford a 3d printer :)
Best regrates from germany
Please please , do a vid on the pro micro mini --- Installation on pc , it is a bit tricky unless you know what to do , please be a hero , Thanks you , and please people give this guy a ....Donation... he deserves it , he’s vid a priceless .
Patient is on the way for sure , nice site :)
I agree, if you can miss even 1$, consider his patreon. Making videos costs time and money, and it saves you time and money tenfold :)

josephzee He usally make a couple more Vids on installation
hello , very good project. could you give information how to power multiple devices inside the rim. i presume you use a usb hub. what kind of coiled usb cable? i presume 4 cores or maybe 6?thx
Great videos...do you have the wiring diagram for this wheel? I know is similar to the button box, but the shifters are not mention and the button box have more buttons...
Why are the magnetic paddleshifters so tiny compared to the paddle shifters of the other wheels? Are there 2 different options to build them?
Which buttons and button cover did you use for the two upper ones? The link in the description doesn't seem to be the right one. :)
Hello man, I have problem, I dont know, how to make to have lap times in SimHub, on display i have place for that but there write 00:00.00 and dont have time... Can you help me? Thank you bro!
How did you attach it to your fanatec wheelbase? The link only seems to have thrustmaster and logitech stuff.
so how many cables you got coming out of the wheel, our you not using the 6 pin mini din at all
Biggest issue i had with this kit was the grips, the shape was a major problem having hands like king kong made it very uncomfortable during long sessions. Needs more refining.
Do you think I can make this, while I haven't got any experience with these kind of projects? And do you now if you can also add this wheel on to a thrustmaster base? Thanks a lot
Amazing video as always. I'm currently making the tachometer and buttonbox!
How are you powering the display? Is there a separate cable? Or are you pulling power from the base?
2 cables i guess
just purchased this to build but it did not come with the tm1638 cover?
How strong is such a 3d printed housing, will it handle 20+ nm etc?
Is there a single logic board that can handle both the display and the Buttonbox function?
And built this from scratch? like you did with the audi? Or sell the 3e pinting?as I am in Argentina and importing that will be very expensive
how was the screen automatically displaying game data without coding micro?
hello amstudio, I thank you for your tutorials you do that for me are an example, but I wanted to ask you to make this steering wheel in addition to connecting everything etc .... there is no way to use a single board for things example rgb light, display, button? you use three board, but maybe there is one that makes for three, are you know? Or there is not that?
I am in serious need on how you have the ttl to usb and nano connected, Is it two separate usb cables coming out??!?!
How did you programm the Arduino nano. Do you have created an application?
You can connect the screen and the buttons controller to a single USB output?
I have a questions amstudio where do you buy all the parts in the video and is the parts cheap?
dear Amstudio, great tutorial perfect, i have a question how is conected the display and the buttons to the PC? two usb cables? i made the Button Box with Arduino pro micro and it's perfect but in this tuto it's not clear how is connected the display and the buttons.
many thanks for your tutorials.
kind regards.
Can you please make a diy redbull f1 wheel (trying to make one myself)
love your setup. watching 2019.
So whether I should use two microusb to connect the PC？one for screen and one for button？？？
How do you mount this wheel on the Fanatec base? Do you need the universal hub for that?
do you sell these babies?wondering if you could build one of these and I'd buy it. (logitech g27 base)
how did you power the nextion display ?with the micro or as a standalone device...great video BTW
Is it possible to use the same arduino for buttons etc. as for the nextion display?
Fanatec has left the chat
Did you use a universal hub to connect this to the wheelbase?
