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

[@Simlife101]

@@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?

[@Simlife101]

@@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)?

HAHA I KNEW THIS VIDEO WOULD COME EVENTUALLY. Executed perfectly mate, top job

[@taavikoppel1769]

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...

[@kcs4212]

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

[@duncandehulst2016]

I have not yet been this impressed

[@RPPerry1984]

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.

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.

[@eliasnaranjo9179]

This is a great project, but like everyone else, I want to kno how it is connected and works with your fanatec wheel base.

[@draftlight522]

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.

[@DJHeroMasta]

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.

[@kylekim2065]

hi! thank you for making the greatest vid again! and I have a question on this. How do you connect this wheel without universial hub?? Thank you again!

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!

[@sweetrichomes9048]

La mas importante diría yo

[@cianuzzu78]

hello all the congratulations for all your very well made videos you became my reference point for the diy accessories for the simracing, i just took a 3d printer and built a f1 steering wheel i wanted to ask you and it's possible to run the nextion and the LED strip using only a usb cable? so you do not get too many wires out of the steering wheel?

[@pixel_xo]

Wow! Wonder if it could used in a car like the BAC Mono

[@walker9977]

Which sketch did you use for Arduino? The one used for the button box?

[@snoopergianotto]

Im doing this.. Could you specify bolts and nuts sizes? Great video, Thanks for sharing.

[@ajv802]

Nice video, can you do a video on how to make toasted ham and cheese sandwiches?

[@jespergroot4805]

Great vid! One question, what did you mean with 'wheel kit'?

[@BrianKongXD]

I would totally buy this over an overpriced Fanatec F1 wheel! Even though I dont play F1..

[@mandziuc]

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

[@xXSgtJackXx]

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

[@FernandWolf]

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...

[@yazansharawi7587]

cool video !! can u gave us an explanation on how u made the software ???
