Dashboard BMW M6 GT3

Pset · Oct 4, 2018

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...

For the display it is necessary to use the Nextion editor supplied with SimHub,

then it is necessary to do the mapping of the functions with the editor of SimHub

and finally the configuration of the LEDs also from SimHub

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

Gulf Racing version for a friend.

I use a 5" waveshare lcd upside down with HMDI, USB for power and an annoying switch on the back for the backlight (https://www.waveshare.com/product/mini-pc/raspberry-pi/displays/5inch-hdmi-lcd-b.htm). And I run Z1 Dashboard on it. Would it be a lot of work to redesign your version to include a larger screen (different mounting points) and extra openings in the case for all the connections + switch? Maybe the switch opening is not needed (I'm using high eco mode in the bios soo this maybe turns off the screen when the pc is off, not sure, need to check).

If you talk about the case, I made for my t500 a version for a 5inch screen and Z1.

Very nice! Is it also for HDMI and usb connection?

I like the leds on the first design. Also using a fanatec csw so mounting is a bit different because the legs needs to be on the back soo it is flat.

I guess it needs a complete redesign to make it work ... Cause if leds are added the arduino needs to move to the side or top to access the usb connector as I have my lcd sitting very low on and against the frontplate of my wheelbase. I need to do this because else my wheel blocks the view

if you wish I give you the files Fusion 360 of the box 5inch. To you to add the LEDs.

Regarding the Nextion design, I do not distribute it yet.

Chris_I · Oct 16, 2018

That would be great if you are willing to share the files of the 5inch box. I don't have any experience yet in Fusion 360 but this would give me a good base to get it started and learning the program.

Is the 5inch used for a waveshare lcd or an other brand?

Pset · Oct 16, 2018

Same brand.

That's some nice designing and printing. I really like seeing your posts. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Pset, would love to know how to wire this up

I still had a unused Nextion 4,3 laying around, so i started this project this week. Somehow i could not get the support material with carbon filament working correctly. So after a couple of failed prints, i gave up.

Yesterday i drove a couple of laps with HPD ARX-01c and that gave me new inspiration. So in stead M6 dashboard i ended up with this prototype.
