Thank you for the guide, its been brilliant for someone who knows nothing of Linux. I created my SD with the Rapsberry Pi creator tool, but the rest was following your guides. My only sticking point now is when the dash loads at boot up it sits on a white screen, then fails. I hit Exit, reload and then the correct dash loads on the screen. I then have to select full screen to clear a little sub menu on the LCD panel (different from yours, so that might be screen specific).
Hi Andrew, I'm glad this video helped you! It sounds like the url in your autostart script may not be correct. You could try testing your Simhub dashboard loads for your desired dashboard in your PC browser and then ensuring the PC browser URL is the same in your raspberry pi autostart script. Hope this helps!
I tried following your video, but then you came to the core electronics part and then your video became as much use as rubber lips on a woodpecker. Installing rasp pi is a piece of cake, but how do you get the different header on your notepad. How do you set the encoding to utf?
Awesome video. After many hrs trying to find a way of doing this your video was super helpful. I did get it working on a pi 3B+. I did want to ask, have you been able to remove all start up text and white screen that shows at Chromium start up. I know before these new OS changes, my arguments use to work to start with a super clean no text, splash etc. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I could not get chromium to look right after install. I had to modify my dash. Resolution would not change on raspi-config. It looks ok but wish I could set to 1280x730 of my screen. Again, great video!
Thanks for the tuto! I’ve tried with a Zero WH board, it doesn’t work as Chromium doesn’t work on this board. I’ve installed the OS with the GUI, and Chromium doesn’t launch. I now have to buy one of the more standard board, with WIFI onboard.
It's funny you mention that, I had a similar thought also 😄 The only challenge would be to get the rpm info from Simhub to the Pi. You could probably get the telemetry data directly from the game but the method may be different for each game. If Simhub exposes that type of info through its own web api then you could write a python script that would run on the Pi to change the LED Strip based on the current RPMs. Another option is to use VirtualHere and connect an arduino based LED Strip to your Pi and use VirtualHere to connect the usb device wirelessly to Simhub.
This is great but maybe Im an idiot but why not just use a cheap tablet and run simhub on PC? Whats the advantages of using the pi4 here? I have a pi4 2GB I'm looking to use for my rig but already using a tablet and sim hub running on PC. What more could I do with this? Thanks!
hi, i have followed all your set. the last step about reboot. it just blank. please advice how to solve this. in my PC, simhub i can open the dah in another monitor. in my phone. i tried the same ip number. it doesnt load.
Hi eddie, can you do a quick test and put a url in the autostart script like google.com in there instead of the simhub dashboard url. Then check to see if the google home page loads on reboot of your pi. This is to confirm all the previous steps are set up correctly. Thanks Steve
Hi Carlos, unfortunately I haven't looked at getting this LCD dashboard working with game consoles. You could try looking at an Android/iOS app called RS Dash. I haven't tried it personally but there are a few videos of people who've managed to set up the app on their phone/tablet and with their xbox one and certain games. Here's the apps website: www.pocketplayground.net/rs-dash And a video demo I found: ruclips.net/video/95LmOHqp7zA/видео.html
i know its late but for example in forza horizon 5 you can set where to output the data. So you would have to setup any computer download simhub and then just do anything like him. In Forza or the other game just do the things simhub tells you. I know its pretty late the answer for this question but somebody else could think of the same

Thanks, got it running on RPI2 & 24 inch monitor.
Thank you for the guide
Do it work on a URVE Pi ?

Is the 3d models 5inch display only for adafruit or waveshare display? Or also other 5 inch displays?
Thanks for the tuto!

Thanks for the video, i have a question, is possible with touch to switch to different dashboard from raspberry pi browser?
I'm curious if you can also attach a led strip in the pinout of the raspberry pi so than you have a wireless lcd with rgb lights that would be asome.

Hello, if you want to replace the racing instrument panel with a new one, how do you do it?
Instead of repeating the above operations, is there a simpler way to quickly replace a new car dashboard?

@@SuperEvenSteven hi, i will try again.
Hi, is it possible to be used with Xbox Series X or PS5?
