    Hi,
    I want to share with you my new project.
    I want to build a full speedometer with the most important instrument .
    Now I am working on the design (CAD files). I want to print the parts with a 3D printer.
    I will share with you the whole steps and I hope you will give me your feedback.
    Thank you all


    here is the display part:

    thanks for sharing this!
    maybe you could specify in the name of the video "Speedometer with arduino Oled display" with Simtools?! :)

    are you using GameDash?

    finally I completed the project.
    The parts list:
    - Stepper motor NEMA 17
    - OLED 128X64
    - 2X Arduino Nano
    - Wires
    - 12V 1A power adapter
    - TMC 2208 ( motor driver)
    - 3D printed enclosure
    gauge parts.jpg

    the result:
    RPM gauge fertig.jpg

    I had to use 2 Arduino because when I use one Arduino for the motor and the OLED the motor will move very very slow because the functions of the OLED need a lot of time and then the whole program is very slow.
    Maybe when you use another processor for example with 96MHz or faster it could work.

    here is a test in forza horizon 4:


    I hope you like my project and I'm waiting for you feedback
    Thanks

    Hello: How do you connect the lines, is there a connection diagram? Can it be used in simhub game data?

    Wow.... Please share more Informations. Simhub would be very Nice.... Or how can we use this in any game? Is it possible to use this for speed and fuel level too?
