Hey guys, Some may remember the other Arduino dash I did for rFactor 2 some time a go. Years a go, in fact. I had a break from sim racing, came back and saw that this project (not that I'm claiming I was the first to do it!) is on most sims now thanks to Sim Hub. While in all honesty I was trying to join in with that with a little screen. I fluffed up and got the incorrect screen which isn't supported by this project. So - I'm trying myself to make this work. I am thinking a data readout for rfactor 2. An Arduino Uno with an Elegoo 2.8" Touchscreen shield. Total cost around £30. I have had an enclosure 3D printed, too. While I have the basics - creating buttons, printing to the screen etc I would love some help with extracting the data rFactor 2 provides to create a data screen. Fuel remaining Tire % left Lap time Anything, I guess. Sure - I get this can be done in moments with a phone app but there is something very cool about a project and having a go yourself. If anyone would like to try and help I'd love it. Though I'm going to do it on my own regardless. It will just take much longer. I managed it before with a normal dash so I don't see why I can't now.

This is what I have so far Lap number Fuel Remaining all tire % left Now to get the data out of the sim. It would be good in future to have a Race and Quali mode. Quali showing timing info as opposed to race type info above.
Figured I'd update. I have it connected and giving me gear selection but it's doing below. Now to figure out how to avoid this and get the data I actually want.
I think the only correct way to display info you want is via Plugin..... You need to create custom plugin for your project....
