Dashboard BMW M6 GT3

[Pset]

Hello,
I present to you my project outstanding achievement, the dashboard of the BMW M6 GT3.
3D printing for the case, Arduino for electronics, Nextion HMI 4.3 "and 16 leds.

The Project :

3d Model in Fusion 360 :

After many test of 3d print :

Electronics :

First test on my Accuforce V2 :

Nextion Template in Assetto Corsa :

To follow the installation and wiring of the 16 LEDs...

Hi Pset,
could you change the STL. file of the Dashboard to mount a Nextion 7" Display?
If it´s possible write me PM.

Best regards from Germany.

I haven't found time yet to learn Fusion 360. But at work we have flatbed plotters so I designed some slices made out of 3mm pvc panel.

Because I needed to integrate the micro pro I had no idea yet how thick the package needed to be. Soo this is my first prototype. It's not the best looking one but for now it does the job.
I added some buttons to the back for brightness control of the leds and next and previous led layout.

Many thanks @Pset for the idea and the STL files!

Love your effort mate, just finished wiring it up today!!

 

[Joao Bastos]

Nice job. I had the same idea to import GT3 Steering Wheel model, but I still do not master Fusion 360.

do you have this model? can you share it? great work

I finally had some time to mess around with fusion. And after using my sliced prototype I found out I didn't need as much leds on the sides soo I moved them to the rpm row. Now it looks more like one of the Cosworth displays. Only thing left is printing it.

Great! Can you upload this nextion template?

 

[Chris_I]

Great! Can you upload this nextion template?

I use Z1 dashboard and a hdmi screen no nextion. But in the downloads on this site you can find the porsche dash for simhub/nextion. I think it is in the Assetto Corsa apps.

Awesome work on this.

I printed the stl files and wired the nextion display up.
All working awesome.

I'm only having issues with the LEDs setup.
Do I set these up in SimHub?
I've chosen Arduino to upload the scetch but it says 'unusable port (nextion display)'
If I set LED settings in Arduino nothing happens.
I've connect VCC to +, GND to - and the middle one to Pin 6 on the arduino.

What am I doing wrong?

Also just wondering are you able to send me the *.leds file exported from Simhub with the led mapping you created for this?

Also pm'ed but putting here for rest of members.

Cheers

Under Simhub on the left select Arduino, My Hardware, just under the top banner - choose Open arduino setup tool. Choose your led type, make sure the correct pin is selected, choose the board type (I have to use the old boot loader with my cheap clone boards), choose serial port and then upload the file.

Or have you done all that already?

 

[Spikar]

Yup. Arduino set up - have tested on both micro and nano.
All i get is the first led lighting up.
Wiring issue? - re-wired a new set to see if works - same thing.
Is there a particular way that I'm missing to wire them up?

Hi! thanx for this awesome design. i have printed everything, and ordered everything else needed to build this!

 

[nouse4aname]

Pset, how did you connect the LEDs toegther. with the Leds been so close to each other?

 

[Gregkar13]

Guys, i just received the nextion screen, but i cannot make it to work at all. I haven't installed the leds yet, wired everything up, and the screen lights up perfectly, showing me some basic stuff of nextion, like logo, some stats etc.. but i cannot make it to work with simhub on iracing, it simply doesn't show any dashboards at all

 

[djbart82]

you can put some tutorial on loading the nextion and the arduino micro for noatos and start with it

I already have everything assembled for lack of programming and it is costing me too much

Thank you

 

[jpindustrie]

Could this work with an arduino UNO instead of micro? I have an extra one laying around...

What size of Flat Head Threaded Rivet Insert i need?

I'm starting this week with this project. I hope my nextion screen will deliverd this week.

I have the same issue. LEDs work fine. Only that F****cking screen doesn’t upload any file with the editor.
