DIY SIM FLAG GEAR SPOTTER AND PIT INDICATOR

[@wassywassy2209]

I think I speak for everyone when I thank you for coming back to making videos. There really is little content like yours, you explain it in a way that no one else does and without making the videos unnecessarily long. It was because of you that I bought my first SIM and I always wanted to know what else to put on it haha.

Great to see you back making videos. keep up the great making videos. im going to try this, simple but very effective

[@slap_A_flamingo]

Great idea. Would love to do this and many of your projects as they look great to do. Only issue is, not everyone has access to a 3D printer. Would love to see some videos with over the counter parts with no 3D printing needed.

[@uuild9778]

I agree, even though I have a 3D printer and think it's a fantastic hobby. But, if you're sure it's not for you and want to get started right now: There are many print services you can use where you just supply the model and get the part delivered. It's worth looking into

[@slap_A_flamingo]

@@uuild9778 really?? That's awesome. So do you just send in the dimensions or something and they do it for you?

[@uuild9778]

Hello ! I take the opportunity of this message to thank you for taking the time to share all the very qualitative content on your channel. I am currently building a very similar device which I want to use for flags and most importantly car spotter. Thanks !

[@ThijsBr]

I'm glad you're back! I always love your projects and even made 2 of them myself, keep up the amazing video's!

[@Benjo-Sterno]

Amazing and super helpful content!! Thank you 🙏 Any idea how to connect 2 x 64bit matrixes to different dins on simhub? I see options for multiple devices but not for two of the same. I plan to have two each side of screen with different data displayed if that’s doable, plus a central led strip for rpm. Was hoping I could do andrino nano for the led strip and a single micro for each of the 2x 64 bit matrix. Any help much appreciated. Thanks again Thank you kindly 🙏

[@Azzooooooo]

HES BACKKKKKKK YESSS

[@MarcoGioia-g5l]

Congratulations and thanks for the information!!! I only have one small problem: I have two displays, one for the flags and one for the gears. the gear one stays on for 2 seconds and goes off for another 2 and continues... where did I go wrong? A thousand thanks!

[@urimiata]

Good to see you again, mate ! 😜😜😜✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@yusuf.agcadag]

Thats amazing amstudio! I love it. I have an idea for your projects. Please do not use the pro micro in this way when using the Arduino pro micro. Because the usb port can be easily bent and broken. Insert the pro micro deep in the box and fix the usb cable connector so that it does not move. I tried many times and each time the usb port of the arduino broke.

[@amstudioprojects]

Thanks for the tips!

Hey. I have the same questions. Did you get ur answer ? Does it works ?

[@wayneshephard]

Brilliant fellow and very generous

[@amstudioprojects]

Hi mate!

[@ryanchenoweth5673]

Am wondering if you can connect physical yellow rotating beacon lights to this board to trigger yellow flags only? 🤔

[@amstudioprojects]

Interesting idea, a slightly different setup but should be possible

[@camerongoheen8697]

Could you maybe show how to make a shifter button box for the Logitech devices?

[@meyogy2414]

just got all my parts. And been looking down the arduino rabbit hole... thought i was still looking down the sim race gear rabbit hole.... On the arduino they are recommending to have a separate 5v 2A supply to the LED's. I'm guessing running this a low brightness you can get away with the VCC pin for power??

[@john_hawley]

I love what you do amstudio, but I hate that we are so dependent on Simhub - It's a shame there is not a universal "open source" option. I'd like to contribute a solution to multiple controls/displays per arduino

[@mauriciomartinskaufmann]

Congratulations on your videos. Can I do this DIY with arduino nano atmega 328 in conjunction with ws2812 and max7219?

[@mago_Beltran]

Thanks for sharing this kind of DIY. I made this one, just a question: When I'm "When game is running" in the Menu, the matrix shows R as a reverse gear. How can I do to display nothing in this case?

[@TiagoSilva-zg5gc]

I came across your videos, and saw this one and the button box one, and both use the pro micro arduino. Im working on a button box with a flag display, can I use the arduino board for the iFlag and buttons...?

[@DhokoHD]

i have done everyting you made in the video, but in simhub when trying to upload data to the arduino, says that the COM port was not found :/

[@bryangk42]

Very interested in this project. One question, what's the mounting like? Is there holes on the back of the case or anything of that sort?

[@MrMiniPilote]

I built my own button box because of one of your videos. I bought the plans from your website just to support your efforts. You do very good, clean videos. Thanks so much for the content and the effort. Have you considered using the OUT side of the WS2812 to power another one?

[@carter240]

This is so cool! Do you have to set it up or turn it on every time you race? Or is it something you can set it and forget it sort of thing?

Thanks for watching

[@VLcuzzy]

Hey mate, love the videos. After seeing your boost and tachometer gauge videos, I’m planning to attempt to build a whole dash. Is there any way you could make a video on some other gauges, such as speedo, oil pressure, coolant temp etc. Cheers

[@B0bik]

Hey, could this kill usb port since it could draw lot of current when on full brightness?

[@troymcguire7428]

Hello, Can this also be used as a shift light indicator! As it flashes to notify you need to shift?

[@simracer1256]

Curious to know - how do you prevent your soldering iron tips from degrading?

[@Tim0Tim0]

Steel wool scrubber. Some Soldering pen mounts have a bit of steel wool in them, usually after using, scrub the heck out the tip in there, make it SUPER CLEAN. Once that's done, apply a tiny bit of solder on the tip, then shut down and let it all cool and chill. Do this every single time, and your tip will look almost brand new every time, and stay in healthy condition.

[@gavinbaker1217]

I have this matrix! However I’m unsure of how to wire it too a nano board is it possible? If so could you tell me where to wire too on the nano???

[@madmustangrc214]

Great video. I tried this myself after watching your video. With that said I have a question about a issue I'm having. The led light pattern does not match what is on the simhub screen. Any Idea on what could have gone wrong?

[@madmustangrc214]

I have figured it out thank you in advance anyway lol.

[@MrMurph1981]

Thanks for the video, please help. I have installed files to activate simhub with WRC 23 but my gears are not showing correctly. Adrino showing neutral when game shows 1st??

[@wannehaves]

And it’s still not possible to give more than one “thumb up”. 😏 So I’ll do it this way, 👍🏻 times indefinitely.

[@amstudioprojects]

Thanks!

[@_Giorgio_]

Heads up, the neopixel board needs atleast 1 A and usually 2A, your PC port can supply 0,9A max, so an external PSU is not a bad idea

[@manuelwendel_]

Do I always have to run SimHub in the background or do I only need the software to set everything up?

[@lukebraddford3287]

Annnddd he’s back

[@simdirtroadsbr]

Do you have the configuration for 3D printing of the case?

[@Jnibbs24]

I bought a 16x16 led panel and only the bottom 4x16 light up. What am I missing?

[@codyrunsfast1]

I have two lights set up. Any idea how to make it so the spotter lights show on their corresponding arduino? Left spotter arrow on left arduino and right spotter arrows on right arduino? I'm trying to make it so I can see the proximity arrows with my peripheral vision but I can't figure out in simhub how to do this. I've enabled multiple arduino in it.

[@badkeene]

Is this also possible for asseto corsa or F1 on pc?

[@Warfalcon]

Great work as always! What are you using for a printer these days?

Hi mate, using the Ender 3

[@fidodido9457]

Hi! Which version of the Arduino Pro Micro shall we use to make this kit? The 3.3V 8MHz or the 5V 16MHz version? We don't need any external power supply for this mod, correct?

the video you made about the tachometer. Does this still work with the new version of sim hub?

[@schinbone0]

Another great video. I find myself here a lot lately. I guess similar birds flock together. : ) One question I have not been able to find the answer to, can you run more than one matrix from a single arduino? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am still getting my feet under me, well thanks to you actually. Again, thanks.

Hey .. did u get ur answer ? I'm still looking for it.

[@sokoloft3]

Would this work for ATS/ETS2? Thanks.

That's not the newest Simhub version... Sad to see. The newest have much more functions for the LED Matrix

[@brianluis6337]

Hello everyone!! I don't know if anyone can help me. I have installed a ws2812b matrix and it works but the LEDs are disordered. I have tried the serpentine setting and it still doesn't show anything ordered. I don't know what else to do, I've searched and can't find anything that works for me.
