your rig is every racing gamers paradise...

[@Robspeed69]

Hey Mr. AMSTUDIO, I ordered the parts thru your list, soldered it together ..... and it works like a dream. Thank you very much for the good work! Rob

it´s a pleasure see your videos. Best material DIY simracing on KZbin! I'm making this revs lights now!

[@johnh3337]

Man i need to get me a 3d printer, nice job, added to my build list

[@Tom-kj6vn]

I built mine out of wood

[@Zaurkin]

Great video!!!! Well done ! No one even comes close on KZbin on DIY SIM!!! Love it !!!

[@vectorr6651]

Man I would buy all of your items :) Just built my own rig and got my first g29. Keep up the great work.

[@ryanbeck4947]

Ok… my hope is restored for searching up super specific videos… thank youuuuu

[@TheThumbsUpChannel]

Dude this is sick. I’m just going to build one as soon as the parts get to my house

[@perez838]

Ordering the parts right now, thank you

[@ericMT]

For anyone in the US, Perspex is called Plexiglass (1/8" grey tinted plexiglass). If you had trouble finding it, that may help.

[@DuanDao]

I love your channel, great DIY ideas for my sim rig

[@yorick9053]

I have seen sooo many cool videos of you keep up the good work man!!!!

[@andycnx7177]

Just found your channel. Awesome videos. Looking forward to making some of these projects. Oh, and on the first corner of Brands Hatch, try breaking a straight breaking line down the middle of the straight and turn in for a slightly later apex just before you run out of road, then go full throttle to exit. It'll feel like you're about to come off into the gravel, but that dip at the bottom of the hill will give you a mass of traction just in time to keep you on the track. Feels great when you get it right.

[@Niek__o]

this stuff is lit, i might consider making this if i really need this but im getting a new steering wheel first

[@EMS9729]

Tristan Boumans really?

[@nurburgringbiker]

A nano V3 from china is under 2 euro, the same goes for the TM1638 display. Then you need some plexiglas, bolts, nuts and something to wrap the front of the display. I did a similar build (used a cheaper tm1368 with only red LED's)

[@EMS9729]

Tim aaa Okay thnx do u have a video about it?

Another great video!! Keep spreading the SimHub good news ^_^

[@amstudioprojects]

SimHub is an awesome piece of software and keeps getting better!

[@DuanDao]

thanks again for this tutorial, even though the simhub software is a lot different now with your video i was able to set mine up. Just wished i had a 3d printer to house the LED's

Love to be able to buy the housing n Perspex cut out. What you made is awesome getting thing together and can’t wait to have it up n running. Cheers bro subbed

[@simracinggaming5102]

Great DIY amstudio :)

[@juniorlima7172]

Surely this is the final step for you to make an F1 styled rim with the screen, the rev leds, buttons and paddles.

[@WazzupTN]

Nice Job Bro Keep up The Good Work

[@AlexandreMonteiroSilva]

Great Job! Thanks again!

[@stefanknauer7180]

Hey man, awesome videos! i got a question though, do you think it would be possible to make the 6 extra lights (3 left and 3 right of the rev lights) like they have on F1, Indy and other race cars to display flags, pit, drs etc.

[@souk-tv]

Your mods are so awesome..

[@MrChrisCanna]

Love your channel! You've inspired me to make my own F1 style steering wheel for my sim rig. I'm planning on using these shift lights as well as a 7 segment display (8 digits, compatible with simhub) and also several push buttons. Ideally I'll power it using the 6 pin DIN plug from the original wheel, and use bluetooth to communicate with my PC. My question is, would I be able to run all these functions simultaneously through simhub? Thanks.

[@gorkii5234]

Thank you so much dude. You are awesome :)

[@moddok]

I LOVE YOU! thank you so much!

[@Str33tfalcon]

[@masioneafoa8979]

Awesome vid mate. Any possible way i can get the extra custom pieces for your hand-brake mod?

[@MrFloCat]

Nice video ! Thank you, very interesting. Your triple screens support looks good ! Which one is it ? I'm looking for something like yours.

[@guga3355]

I really enjoy your type of making videos, Congratulations ;-) But I have one question, can i use three or four led bars instead of two on a single arduino nano???

[@Mauricewertz]

You're creations are inspiring, keep up the good work ! Question: is it possible to share the .leds file to import in SIMHUB?

[@Aircraftlol]

Do you have it?

[@TomasCTR]

Great videos man...I´ve got one question? Is it possible to connect these led strips together to one arduino with 7-segment led display connected or each thing (7-segment led display and LED strips) need to be connected to own arduino?

[@davidmeek6100]

Nice work!

[@amstudioprojects]

Thanks Mate!

[@wernerpianaar1586]

Great vid!!! Looking at doing my own based on this. All the links from the perspex downward seems to not want to open? Where do I get the perspex and could you please supply the detail on the wire you used as well as the nuts and screws sizes as well as the detail on the soldering?

[@kennteoh85]

wee got it work with ACC> awesome share

[@nadavfedida2200]

Hey mate, got a quick question regarding building this and the screen you made for the sim. I designed a box that incorporates both LEDs and the screen but I want to run just one USB to the unit. Can I wire both off the One USB or will it confuse it and not work properly. Thanks a lot for all these videos. Brilliant work mate. Also I’ll be happy to share the STL file for the screen/LEDs box once I have it all working.

[@Warfalcon]

These recent videos are going to require me to get a 3D printer LOL. Wife is gonna hate me :)

[@BeamNgPro]

It's Amazing!

[@lukaszM46]

This looks awesome but I have one question, can you achieve a similar effect using the board you showed in a previous video which contained 8x 7 segment displays and 8 leds? I think it was using the TM1638 IC as a controller

[@jimpap2746]

nice video. thank you

[@mr.anonymous2488]

You are very good...plz make a custom speedometer with 300km .....😀. Thanks in advance

[@ronaldacosta313]

Great video!!! I'm making a custom steering wheel for a Lamborghini Gallardo, can I also load this on an actual car ECU? Or directly to the rpm cluster?

[@mattiafanni6667]

Very helpful thank you very much!!

[@KToMmi]

Hi @amstudio, ever thought of mounting them directly onto the wheel rim? I'm considering to mount them to my TS-PC formula rim. There's a slot that seems made on purpose for such a mod. Of course I'll be doing the LED enclosure by myself. But what about the USB cable? Will it be a problem when steering?

[@slap_A_flamingo]

Your videos are amazing. I've learnt a it just watching them. Have you considered selling some of your ideas. Love your BMW gadge video. I'm looking to make a driving sim and I'm definitely using that idea. Love your videos.

is what you can make us a video for how to make a h shifter with arduino please and you are the best for for the DIY

[@nextrider123]

please do a video on your settings in simhub for ur shift light

[@javierpolanco2713]

Good video. I wonder if is possible to use the first and the last led only for to show yellow and blue flag and the other for rpm. It would be awesome. In the simhud i can´t understand how to change those properties

[@Robert-xc8yw]

Wish i had a fanatec setup man...

[@electronz2288]

It'd be cool if you showed us how to build a steering wheel

[@benbirch6425]

+amstudio what type of bracket did you use to hold the spring in place on your diy usb handbrake video? The right angled silver one?

[@mariamarileide6001]

Amazing! You are a genius!

[@mattnev8625]

what would i need to do to make an arduino sequential shift light for my E30 track car? can you just make a sketch to read the signal wire?

[@zombie821]

as always a great Video and thank you for that. I build it a few months ago and testet it with F1 2016, PC1/PC2 and it worked great. Now i have Problems with F1 2016 and the Lights, they don't work ingame but when I press Pause theay light up, back in game they turn off. Any idea what the Problem is?

[@JDMxBL4Z3]

You should create a store front....I'm not to great with stuff like this but I will love to buy one

[@Aircraftlol]

Ali Montañez Still interested?

[@michelemmor576]

hi! how do you cut perspex? Thank you! Love your videos.

[@DanielLopez1994]

That's amazing! Would you know how this can be done on a real car?

[@thrustmaswheel]

Hey. I am fascinated by your project presenting the engine speed display with LED strip. As I do not have experience in designing Arduino modules, I am asking for a hint. Will I be able to use one Arduino controller to connect the LED module and analogue Handbrake, which also show how to perform on your other film. Will the Arduino module be able to control the LED strip and be recognized by Windows as a pointing device? Thank you in advance for your answer and I am waiting for more inspiring fans to create new devices.

[@simonedisalvo128]

Thaks a lot for all your video!!! sorry a question how to setup simhub rgb mapping???? Is it possible to share the .leds file to import in SIMHUB?

[@antoinepinard2724]

Nice job! Do you think it would works on Xbox? Or only pc?

[@antoniotrueba7681]

Hello, I´m bulding a F1 steering wheel and your videos are my principal inspiration, but I found the next problem, exist any way to decrease the brightness of the RGBleds? when I play in a dark room the lights make me blind

[@Bbeavis]

I run the same steering wheel in my race car :D

[@benjaminb9375]

Very good video. 👍 How did you have one game on three monitors? Sorry for my Bad englisch. I come from Germany.

Just the files at this stage.

[@carlossr2791]

Hi, I just have one question, are the 3d models for the led lights and for the fanatec assembly? Both?

[@davegee124]

thanks for the video,got everything wired up ok but for some reason only rgb leds 1-8 are working as intended,the 9-16 rgb are just plain white and lit al the time,any ideas?

[@matiaz0]

One more time, amazing work... But I have a question... Is it possible to make with 9 LEDs only?

[@amstudioprojects]

Yes its possible

[@matiaz0]

How?, please, I only find 8 LEDs in one strip and I want 3 LEDs for every colour.. regards from spain

[@PeeBeds]

Just wondering if you had managed to get this working in iRacing? Ive wired the RGB up, checked continuity etc, Simhub recognises it, and see's my car etc, however the RGB's dont light at all? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@AndyBradley1984]

Once the Arduino is flashed do you still need to run the SimHub software and settings on the host machine for the LED's to function correctly? or is it just plug and play with any PC?

[@Wenya]

Hi Friend!! Could you tell me the layout configuration for RGB REV LIGHTS?

[@cinefocus6816]

do you need to code in arduino for this project or you just have to plug it into simhub

[@matk22]

Can you run multiple items on the same arduino. I want to wire this shift light, the gear shift display. Then a button box on another arduino

[@st.gr.8796]

Hello Mr. AMSTUDIO, did this also works with 24 LED´s? Update, yes it works!!!

[@SuperOliveiraPT]

Someone has any idea how to mount to a thrustmaster t300?? I'm using my smartphone as a Dashboard and having the Lights on top looks amazing

You could tape it down with some mounting tape

[@mr.empty-0789]

Simao Oliveria how are you using your smart phone as a dash?

[@ImThe5thKing]

@@mr.empty-0789 Simhub can stream real time to the phone for a dash or hud like you'd find in Formula/LMP1-2/GT cars

[@makefred]

Hello. Impressive. Is it possible to buy everything done with the support for the base fanatec V2.5. I live in Reunion Island and ordering all items separately is extremely expensive, and the delivery is extremely long. With your understanding.

[@TheWeedpoppin]

first of all thank you so much for sharing and just a question how i can do the same but with arduino micro cause simhub doesnt support it and when i open in arduino ide i wrote the sketch but nothing happens no lights...thx

[@alexybodom]

Amazing but can it be modified to be used in real motorcycle

[@OliverPohl]

Hello, I have installes an ArdNano making some flag signals and a optical spotter mark for me. Now I will do the REV Lights as well. So I bought s new Ardnano and all the other stuff, assemble it and try to make it running. Do I have to make a new Ardunio SetupTool - is it a multiple or a single ArdBoard? Or can I put the LEDs on the first Board as well?

[@frguitar777]

After all this, can we still use the same arduino board to some buttons and switches? Or we only can use for this leds.

[@corbadelin2033]

you can make some LEDs to turn off depending on the life and the bullets you have in the counter strike global offensive?

[@vickyracer9363]

I am making a f1 wheel project. I have maped the button with your arduino library, as well as the rotaries and a clutch pedal. I can use the same arduino for simhub or this will overwrite the rest? I don't if I was clear... Not really good english

[@something7992]

If only someone made the same content but for your real car

[@bandit650n]

Great job, I just built it easily. Is it possible that the LEDs go from the corners to the center? Thanks a lot

[@AldoM2C]

How'd you cut the acrylic plastic?

[@razormodz1173]

I know this is an older video now but is there a reason you used two led strips instead of a single longer strip?
