Today we take a look at Grid Engineering's DDU5 Sim Racing Dash. This is a replica of the Bosch DDU10 seen in many real life race cars and uses a USBD480 display, as well as 20 brightness and colour adjustable RGB LEDs to provide the driver with all the information you could possibly want.

Digital dash systems for sim racing come in many flavors. Over 18 months ago now I put together a video showing how to use an old smartphone as a digital dash, but if you want true plug and play, a dedicated screen is the go. While there are plenty of much cheaper options on the market that admittedly offer the same functionality, many people just want the best, and to my surprise, this ended up being a much more "active" device than I had anticipated. Particularly when used in conjunction with the Z1 Dashboard software. So let's take a look!

Does the rev counter and 7 segment display on your Sim Wheel not quite cut it? For some games, it's absolutely critical to be able to see other vital statistics such as ERS charge, Engine Mode, etc. In this video I show you how you can set up a realistic looking and highly functional digital gauge system using free software (Sim Hub) and an old Smartphone or Tablet. The game I used as an example is F1 2018, but the same basic process applies to many popular sim racing games such as Assetto Corsa Competizione, Automobilista 2, iRacing, rFactor2, Dirt 4, etc. ___________________________________________ SEE WHAT OUR SIM LOOKS LIKE NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhd5S3SKKF0 ___________________________________________ DETAILS OF EQUIPMENT FOR OUR CURRENT RIG: https://boostedmedia.net/boosted-media-sim-rig-details/ ___________________________________________ Grab the 3D Project file for the phone mount I used here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2388429 Download Simhub here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/simhub-diy-sim-racing-dash.10252/ Download the F1 2018 Dash Plugin here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/f1-2018-simhub-beta-01.22874/ BUY THE TV FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO HERE: https://amzn.to/2EKb9mi GRAB YOUR FANATEC SIMULATOR GEAR HERE: https://boostedmedia.net/go/fanatec-webstore/ (A small portion of the sale price goes to helping this channel) Gear used in my rig: FANATEC CLUBSPORT WHEEL BASE V2.5: https://boostedmedia.net/go/fanatec-clubsport-wheel-base-v2-5/ FANATEC CLUBSPORT BMW M3 GT2 RACING WHEEL: https://boostedmedia.net/go/fanatec-bmw-gt3-rs-racing-wheel/ FANATEC CLUBSPORT FORMULA CARBON F1 RACING WHEEL: https://boostedmedia.net/go/purchase-here-fanatec-formula-carbon/ FANATEC CLUBSPORT PEDALS V3: https://boostedmedia.net/go/fanatec-clubsport-pedals-v3/ ]]> Thu 08 Nov 2018 20:40:40 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9962/how-to-make-a-digital-dash-for-racing-simulators-using-sim-hub-and-an-old-smartphone/
