SimRacingDashboard

SimRacingDashboard is an Arduino-based project designed to create a custom dashboard for sim racing games. This dashboard displays essential game data such as speed, RPM, gear, and lap times, enhancing the racing simulation experience.

Features

• Display:

  • Speed
  • RPM
  • Current Gear
  • Current Lap Time
  • Best Lap Time
  • Microsector Delta

• Additional Features (Limited to certain games):

  • KERS Charge Status
  • DRS Activation

How it works

The dashboard uses an Arduino as the main controller, connected to a TFT screen and 15 LEDs. Data is received from SimHub, which captures game telemetry and sends it via serial communication. A custom protocol (defined in protocol.js) manages the data exchange, ensuring accurate display of information.

Requirements

Hardware

• Arduino
• TFT Screen
• 15 LEDs
• 2 x 74HC595 Shift Registers

Libraries

• Adafruit_GFX
• Adafruit_ST7735

(All necessary libraries are included in the libs folder.)

Software

• SimHub

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Upload the Arduino code (SimRacingDashboard.ino) to your Arduino board.
3. Connect the hardware components as per the wiring diagram.
4. Install the required libraries.
5. Run SimHub and configure it to send data to the Arduino.
