DIY Wheel with Simhub & Nextion Display

[dontpanic]

Hejhej,

I was planning my projekt for my new Racing Wheel and I stumbled over the following sentence on SimHub Wiki:

"Arduino Pro Micro : The arduino will emulate a TTL and allow RGB LEDs or buttons to be added"

Now, I plan to add rgb leds AND buttons and I am wondering, if every free pin is free to use.
Will this wiring plan I have in mind work out?

Thanks everyone for your help!

So Im building a wheel with a Vocore display. At the moment, I am using a joystick controller for the buttons, and a second USB cable for the display. I'm wanting to go wireless. Can one board handle both the switches and then the display as well?

hi guys i tried to upload that sketch but give me an error Adafruit_NeoPixel.h No such file or directory.What is this about?

You need to add the Adafruit Neo Pixel library. With the IDE open, go to SKETCH---INCLUDE LIBRARY---MANAGE LIBRARY . Then copy paste that library they list you need. Then add that library via the path I mentioned. it'll add to the sketch.

I made one with a screen - used a vocore and an LED strip.
Fun project, but I never got round to finishing it. It needs the handles to be wrapped in alcantara or something, and the front re-printed without the printing pattern.

Everything works, encoders, pushes, switches etc.

Hey friend do u have a tutorial for that?

Simhub does the heavy lifting. Just plug in your arduino and it can make a sketch to suit your needs for you, and push it to the board. Great software.

Wow didnt noticed that is so easy! thankssss!

Hi all! I'm sorry for being late to this, but I am working on a DIY wheel with switches, encoders, funky switches and a vocore screen, as well as an RGB strip (2812B) for the RPMs and the difficult part, neopixel LEDs for buttons' backlight.
I am planning on using an STM32 with FreeJoy to handle all the switches and inputs and a Pro Micro for the LEDs. For the RPM strip, there is already a library on SimHub to manage it, but I have no clue on how to handle the backlight LEDs. Any suggestion on how to do it?
