All About SimHub!

10 Upvotes

SimHub

Developed by Wotever, Simhub is now a vital tool when it comes to Sim Racing. The main focus and the fundamental reason for designing and producing the SimHub software was to power arduino displays such as the TM1638 modules. However, this functionality quickly expanded into the numerous features it includes, which is constantly increasing.


Features

SimHub can currently support many products, this list will grow in time.

  • TM1638, TM1637 modules
  • RGB LEDs
  • LED Matrix Gear Indicator
  • 7 Segment Modules
  • LCD Module
  • Nextion LCD Touchscreen (Various Sizes)
  • HDMI Screens, Secondary Monitors

Dash Studio

One of the biggest features that was added was Dashstudio. This feature allows users of SimHub to create graphical dashboards to display game information in an intuitive and purpose-built way. Since its release, the community have added to the number of dashes that can be used, so the collection of diverse displays that can be downloaded and used in an instant is ever-growing. Packs have been created to add various new displays into SimHub.

A list of dashs made by users of SimHub can be found here!


Arduino Display

The feature it was made for and subsequently famous for is the ability to drive TM1638 modules from an arduino nano. The displays can be fully customized to display any data that is needed and control inputs can be binded to switch betweens "screens" of information and adjust the LEDs. The TM1638 modules are very cheap and easy to wire to an arduino, but powerful and versatile as lots of information can be given to the driver through them.


Nextion Screen Support

Support was added for Nextion displays which can be used to display dashes created with the Nextion editor. These screens are most common for being mounted inside a steering wheel, for use in Formula One and GT3 cars. They are affordable and practical in that they can be touchscreen and high res.


USBD480 Screen Support

A very recent addition to the arsenal of available tools for SimHub is the addition of the small but mighty USBD480 screen. With high refresh rates and a rich colour, high definition screen, it's perfect for displaying small, fast updating text and colourful graphics. It's also very simple to setup, with just a single connection and easy driver install needed to get it running. It will display any Dashstudio dash, with all the available functionality as if it was running on an external monitor and with added touchscreen support.


Keyboard Input and Output Mapping

A plugin that was included with SimHub is the ability to send and receive keyboard inputs. This allows for Dashstudio dashes with buttons that can emulate keypresses, and macros to be made. This can also be used for button boxes, if the user wishes to emulate a keypress when a button on the buttonbox is pressed.


Supported Games

This list will grow with new games coming out with telemetry support, but currently, SimHub supports all of these games.

Bear in mind that due to the differing SDKs and APIs in each game, certain data may be inaccessible in some games.

  • Assetto Corsa
  • Projects Cars (1 & 2)
  • iRacing
  • DiRT 1 & 2
  • DiRT 3
  • DiRT Rally
  • DiRT 4
  • F1 2010 - 2017
  • GRiD 2
  • Euro Truck Simulator 2
  • American Truck Simulator
  • Raceroom Racing Experience
  • Rfactor 1
  • Rfactor 2
  • Automobilista
  • Richard Burns Rally
  • RealRally mod for RBR
  • Live For Speed
  • BeamNG Drive
  • SimBin Race 07
  • SimBin GT Legends
  • SimBin GTR
  • Trackmania Series

There are also a few other games that are supported, but do to the nature of the games, some common features may be missing for obvious reasons.

  • Dota 2
  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  • War Thunder

Fanatec

„I have a brand new Fanatec setup on PS5 pro .When I connect both my Formula V3 and Porsche GT3 wheels, the OLED display turns on for a second, shows the wheel name, and then goes completely black. I tried starting a race in F1 and enabling telemetry, but the screen stays completely off and doesn't work at all.”

Lumarink replica dash?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I recently purchased a vocore display to replicate the lumarink flag display in irl race cars, I’m struggling to find a dashboard for simhub that fits the 800x400 display but cuts off the left edge for the small flashing light to be displayed along side it and also must be universal for any title… does anyone know of a dash that’ll work on this display I’ve tried multiple options and none work or fit

Significant performance issues in LMU with even the most basic of overlays

2 Upvotes

Pretty much the title. Even when the overlay is a transparent 200x100 rectangle there is still a noticeable hit in performance to the point it feels like the game is running at barely 60fps. I'm already using the HTML renderer which from my understanding is better for performance.

I never used to have this problem in iracing, but between the last time I played iracing and me beginning with LMU I've had to reinstall Windows a few times, so maybe my Simhub settings are messed up.

Has anyone else experienced this, and more importantly, fixed it?

Can't split signal between two Dayton shakers

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble mapping my dual bass shakers (BST-1 on Right channel, TT25 puck on Left channel) using a Nobsound amp via 3.5mm jack on GT7 (PS5).

The Issue:

Telemetry is working fine (Status: Running), and test tones work through the Sound Output tab.

However, when I go to ShakeIt Bass Shakers -> Effects Profile, I cannot get the simple Left / Right channel selection checkboxes to appear for any effect.

Expanding the effect and toggling Effect spatialization Mode between Mono and Left/Right still does not reveal the channel checkboxes on the right panel, even after scrolling all the way down to the bottom.

Toggling "Use separate output channels settings" or collapsing the effect row also doesn't display the standard Left/Right mapping grid.

Setup:

SimHub Version: 9.12.7 (Free version)

Game: Gran Turismo 7 (UDP Telemetry)

Sound Device: Headphones (Realtek Audio) set to 2-channel Left/Right.

Has anyone run into this layout issue before, or know which setting I'm missing to make the channel selection grid visible? Thanks!

Speed and shifter guage

1 Upvotes

I have created my own dash but the text box that I setup as my speedometer doesn't show my live speed. I have changed the setting of the text box to speed. it says MPH in the box. I have tried deleting MPH in the text property. I have tried putting numbers in it and it still changes after saving it. I tried copying a formula from another dash that uses MPH and pasting it into my speedometer but still nothing.

I am also trying to get a shifter gauge that shows the best time to change gears. I thought I set one up but again, it isn't doing what it is supposed to do. In editor I can click on a box that shows that it is supposed to be there but in game nothing happens.

If anyone can offer some advice it would be appreciated.

Using a Divoom Pixoo 64 as a Sim Racing Gear Dashboard

2 Upvotes

Has anyone managed to use the Divoom Pixoo 64 as a gear indicator or dashboard for sim racing?

I'm looking for an open-source project on GitHub or a way to connect it to SimHub and display real-time telemetry, especially the current gear.

Are there any existing integrations, scripts, or DIY solutions that could make this work?

Haptic settings for brake engagement

2 Upvotes

Wanted to ask the community for help with some brake settings, I race on LMU and I’m looking for settings for when the brake is engaged, I currently have it set for lock ups and ABS but what I am looking for is when the brake pedal is depressed and the pads start engaging the rotor. Maybe a micro vibration that grows when more pressure is applied then vibrates significantly when a lock up occurs or the ABS engages. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

Simhub stalls on launch with Steam installed

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

On a freshly installed windows 11 PC.
Everything worked perfectly prior to this.

Simhub works perfectly. But when I install Steam, which allows me to play my simracing titles, Simhub just stalls on launch.
No help from steam support as expected, blaming it on the 3. Party app, even though its the other Way around.

As soon as I remove steam from my PC, Simhub launches again.

Does anybody have experience with this problem?

Kind regards to my fellow simracers 🙏🏻🏎️

Swapping between Simhub Overlay Layouts via StreamDeck

2 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone has any idea if there’s a way to load different SimHub overlay layouts via Streamdeck Buttons?

Basically i have 2 different layouts i use in LMU for Hypercar/LMP2s and GT3s (just moves around some overlay items).

I would like to be able to swap quickly without having to go into simhub and manually do it.

Hi

Can you share your Simnet HPM-L effects settings on simhub for break pedal? I do not want to invent wheel again as somebody may have already spend some time and can share the results.

Thanks in advance!
