DIY TRUCK SIM INDICATOR AND LIGHT SWITCH

[@eliask6180]

I have used this USB Encoder many times already... My H-Shifter, Buttonboxes, Handbrake etc... It´s very cheap and simple and a good option for people that can´t use an arduino

[@mikeall75]

No.

[@JubbLaRacing]

@@mikeall75 *Yes

[@judsontaylor3484]

just stumbled across this as youtube was playing in the garage for background noise.. you just solved a huge issue for me.. and the parts are so cheap on amazon! THANK YOU!

[@amstudioprojects]

Great to hear!

[@lifeofasimrigmestizo6910]

I always enjoy the DIY you do, I feel like I am in school with your videos. Hope all is well on your end, take care brother.

[@Euro.Paleta]

Just few days ago I was thinking of building myself an indicator using two microswitches and now I see this. This is brilliant! Add to cart. Checkout. Pay :D

[@Jenachy]

This is a cool concept, and one that I've been wanting for my truck sim gameplay. And you are awesome for making this little guide.

[@Tapperje16]

I know i've said something on one of your other vids, but i also just love how simple you keep it!, amazing!

[@StephenWillians]

Oh Gosh, everyday (or DIY video) is f*** better. Great job guys!

[@MarcoGenio]

I actually need this for Euro truck sim great video like always

[@amstudioprojects]

New version coming soon

[@KashouWannabe]

Just stumbled on your channel, this and your Range-Splitter video. Not only is the DIY awesome, I feel that you should consider building these to sell. They are of great quality, and there are some people, like myself, who are lousy at this stuff! I use a G27, and a spare mouse strapped to the knob of the shifter as a range/splitter. It works, but its ugly. Adding something like yours and this would be great not just for truck simming, but things like Dirt Rally/rFactor etc also. Having lights/wipers, or other functions such as a hand clutch or handbrake assigned to these items, and not the padles on the wheel, would be great.

[@mr.slaphappy3794]

How did you get the mouse to work as a range/splitter? I tried doing that but the game won't let me. I can only assign buttons that are on the steering wheel to work as a range/splitter.

[@felipealexander9093]

Hey bro, I love your videos. A big hug from Brazil

[@stpelmer]

Thanks for the info on parts and HOW-TO. This is super easy to make, and now I have one, and it only cost $15.

[@oli4004]

stpelmer well you need a 3d printer lol

[@jordy5745]

The best mods i have ever seen for the logitech steering wheel, great job...

[@dertodestoaster1509]

Just an Idea for a future video: you could try to add F1-Style clutch pedals to your DIY Formula Rim. Great Effort man, i love your videos!

[@Warfalcon]

I can't believe you didn't wrap it in carbonfiber vinyl, how dare you! =P

[@MattTester]

Excellent, I would like to make one of these as I have the same wheel base. I got some car stalks working myself with a joystick controller but they were always too long to be comfortable, especially with my Rift on so this is great. Ideal for mirroring too for cruise control stalks on the other side.

[@R0adx]

You have to make a DIY h shifter with your skills.

[@Iga_ma]

He has lol

[@ianbarnes6266]

This has to be legit the best channel for Sim builds, but ive noticed you dont do much with Thrustmaster ?

[@jamesmuffins3330]

Getting into truck Sims I see! Nice build like always amstudio!

[@afterlife3515]

Awesome! What a great edition to my sim collection.

[@rfratelli]

Such a clever design, congrats!

[@spark6893]

Your videos are so much better since you added audio

[@carlosaustria2125]

Best diy Chanel ever And can you make a g27/g25/g29 version of this

[@sergiogalindo4]

looking forward to more sim videos for sure!

[@CrazyGijs]

Very cool! I'm going to try to make my own version of it for the G29... :P

[@PeterF12]

Gijs did you? Can you show me?

[@maxk.7585]

@@PeterF12 Im too I have One lever on each side I have a g29 too it was not easy to fix it on the g29 but i have Build a Construction for the levers i can send Pictures of the Construction for you when you are giving me your E-Mail adress

Wonderful friend, when you told me that you bought the ETS2 already expected some of your tutorials.Much top.I have a G27 I will how to adapt this modification. So your fan! 🇧🇷

[@claytongame-hughes3803]

Dan here is a first look at a mount for logitech its not final and the measurements are wrong but i am making v2 right now with measurements: www.tinkercad.com/things/88FgT9GteTN

[@IeuanAlli]

Dude , that looks awesome so far. Keep it up man :)

[@Crady123]

Cool! But where to put the joystick encoder in?

[@masioneafoa8979]

nice to see ur vids back my dude

[@sameezls]

I recently made a button box. I was going to use this joystick but was not sure if it would work. I will be getting this joystick. Thanks mate.

[@watertoast7583]

Just need to wait until this seller is back open to try it

[@takethree69]

Thanks for this! I have always wanted a proper turn indicator for ETS2/ATS. Now to find a way to mount these.

[@claytongame-hughes3803]

takethree69 if you are talking about a way to mount this on logitech wheels, myself and amstudio are being very creative with the way we make this. we are hoping that the clamp screw and another screw on the bottom of the wheel base will create enough friction to use at this very moment im creating v2 of my product ill send a link for v1 but i have not tested it and i dont have a 3d printer, so dont print it out lol. this is link for mount: www.tinkercad.com/things/88FgT9GteTN

[@lasvesas234]

Nice switch! Thanks for inspiration!

[@nathanarkov6719]

Please make mor truck simulator diy pls

[@michelevitarelli]

you should sell these. great video. thanks for sharing.

[@fenessinen]

You can create WRC Style gear shifter with this leaver 😊

[@jamesmuffins3330]

Not sure that would work with this lever

[@Matthiasw1994]

Very cool, is there a way to get the 3D Printed Part or the shape to print it? Thanks in advance

Can you release the 3D print files for the housing? Keep up the great work!

[@watertoast7583]

You are the best this looks easy I will try it soon

[@worstenbroodje6832]

That's amazing. Can you even buy anything like this?

[@tompulford2569]

Finally, a simple version of one of these. 100% going to make this. Great video as always too

[@jackliddy4540]

This is brilliant love it

[@daemon3spade]

Do you have the housing for a T300?

[@MrPsychokruemel]

Would be amazing

[@christianstef9292]

Super stuff mate !! Well done

[@zordaxvids]

Can you do tutorial on how to make panel with only toggle switches? I've seen the tutorial with buttons and dials and other toggle switches, but it is too advanced. If you could make tutorial for like 6 toggle switches and make it as simple as possible, I think many people would try it themself

[@a.david.474]

Hi amstudio!! Really nice work!!!! I have a question, do you connect all the usb cables direct to your pc, or to a box with a lot of usb connections? Can you recommend one or make a video DIY of a box with a lot of usb connections? Thank you very much and continue like you are doing!!!

[@Maarten94]

David not amstudio but I can recommend the Orico usb hub. Anything works as long as it's a high quality POWERED USB hub. You don't want anything non powered

[@dk_rifter]

Could you try making one for g27/29/920

[@MRCousHD]

Dk Rifter its for usb. This system is universal. Plug and play

[@dk_rifter]

Mateo Couso I know I’m on about a mounting system so it’s like the one in the video

[@claytongame-hughes3803]

I’m a Patreon and have put the idea forward to him and he agrees he is comming up with something but it is hard to mount on Logitech because they don’t have any mounting holes like fanatec if you have an idea for a mounting point reply to this and I’ll send a pm to him with that idea

[@jossvlogz1333]

Dk Rifter yes please

[@jude6kv]

I'm sure this could work with Logitech, I have a g920 and will probably end up buying the parts

[@limmp4n196]

Awsome video! Get a website so we can buy stuff like adapters for g920 :)

[@karstenve]

Now try to build your own diy VR headset XD

[@luluismo]

amstudio i hate you so much, all your projects makes me buy a lot of little parts and begins to DIY my simrig! now i spent most of my time just shopping for these parts and DIY instead of playing the games! lol

[@PolandGamerPL]

Loving your tutorials man! Well made, good quality and easy to follow. I have a question. Could you please consider making a tutorial on a key ignition with a couple positions (as in for example: 1. OFF 2. Accessories 3. ON 4. Start)? In the process of making a sim, and nkt entirely sure how to make it work :).

[@Dutch3DMaster]

Really late reply so I hope you got it figured out by now, but if not, or other people might benefit from this: Typically spring-loaded keys like that can be bought in electronics stores (I take it Ebay or Amazon has them in case of no physical store near you, the one for me is about 30 minutes of public transport away from where I live and is rare in existence by now). They will have different contacts, and possibly 1 or multiple grounds (since ignition keys can be experiencing peak power draws in some cases) per switch position. You can tie these to either a type of controller like in the video (I do not trust them due to how cheap they are and do not know how long they will stay working honestly, so I 'm tempted to say that you would be better off using an Arduino Leonardo) or an Arduino Leonardo. Since some switches will have latching contacts (in the sense that hitting the ignition part will be momentary because the springloaded mechanism will make it return to "Electricity on" or "Main systems on", which will be a position that it will keep reporting back to the controller, and might require programming in order to make the controller or the game respond to a state-change of this pin on the switch (some games require the same button to be pressed in order to cease ignition, or shutoff the main feed, for instance). In some cases you might also need a little circuit that will make the game capable of responding to the off-position, which might actually not have a pin on the key switch and will be ignored by the game if it doesn't use "Cease ignition" if all other states of the switch fall low.

[@simkarte123]

Next make a windshield-wiper lever! :D

[@mr.slaphappy3794]

Surely you would just set up a second lever, and then stick it on the other side.

[@kenesu1281]

*Nice*

[@bigchew1513]

hell i just had an idea.. what about a pair of hols drild in the logitech with a pair of threaded rivet inserts..i thnk tht might work..but i still dont have acess to a 3d printer..yet..

[@TheCoolGamerrx]

Thanks buddy, really helpful :)

[@johnburr2641]

does it matter if you get the sanwa joystick encoder or the happs one? the link you provide shows a slightly different encoder than in your video; i noticed the one you're using has some missing resistors or whatever they are on the upper right?

[@pbdgames]

Nice one. Where did you get the housing?

[@JustSomeNoob]

could you make one that fits the G920?

[@Ars33n1c]

Wow omg i want this so bad!

[@autotrasportibutiglia3584]

Can you share the file for 3D print of the support? Thank you and keep on with this great video tutorials...

Fits the angle with the bracket also with the standard wheel as the cls elite?

[@capehorn5709]

I did not get the name of the blue box you mounted the switch in. could you spell it out and where it can be purchased. nice video thanks for sharing

[@deidara1221]

asweome mod. can you do a 18 speed transmission lever mod? that will be awesome

[@mrfork7053]

Can you have 2? 1 For lights and indicators and one for whipers and beacons? And do you need another usb joistick encoder for 2?

[@void_maxiii]

Wow , i‘d like to do this

[@imnota]

I know you have multiple wheels, so why using the fanatec for truck sim ? Because then you will need to remove that when racing... Would be clever to have one of your less "performance" wheel used for truck sim so you could keep every truck sim component on it.

[@godwindracing6056]

19 drivers who don’t know how to use indicators

now how do i add a scania trucks steering wheel to the fanatec

[@MsLeboxeur]

juste excellent !!!

[@jespervanvondel]

Could you make a design for the t300

[@BrianKongXD]

Amstudio, Dude, really need help. What 3D printing design program do you use? The one I used is not convenient and cant really shape what I want.... And you seem to really be able to design whatever the shape you want...

[@bigchew1513]

hey, another great video! i am going to make this.lol. but i was wondering if ya had any ideas on how to mount it to my g27? as this has me bumfuzld....thanks again,and keep up the good work

[@amstudioprojects]

Working on some ideas for the Logitech base.

[@IeuanAlli]

@amstudio , sorry to bother you but can you please release the 3d models? As i do not know what to do for any base, fanatec or Logitech (for people who own fanatec as i don't) and after i would need some permission from my school to borrow the 3d printer for this but anyway, keep up the good work :)

[@KayleetheDURAMAX]

What if a "wheel spacer" type thing was made that slipped over the actual wheel atachment and just velcro to the wheel case, and on that spaced type piece you had the case for the turn/ light indicator switch?

This is off topic to the video but did you have to install Chinese drivers to use the adruino nano when making your displays?

[@alcamerc9970]

What would you need to make just a turn signal. I have no electronics knowledge of any kind but with your video illustrating steps, maybe I can make it. Thank

You could easily use this as a sequential gearbox right? Could you stop the lever from moving side to side?

How to mount this on Logitech G27 wheel?

[@Boomarov]

Try some adhesive or velcro strips, if it doesn't fit try sanding down the box.

[@qasimodoroleta5792]

siowly using tape

[@theothergtgeek9407]

You could make a brace that slips under the bottom of the g27 and with bolt holes for the indicator switch
