  • Here's a rundown of my Ford Focus dash racing simulator. In the video I mention how it cost about $200 to make the setup. That price doesn't include the steering wheel or Xbox One, but everything else is included in that price. I'm sure I'll make more changes and updates in the future as well. Stay tuned.
    You can also follow my car's adventures on Facebook and Instagram under SonicSVTFocus.

    That looks great nice job. Now if you want the gauges to work you better switch to a pc then you can get them to work.

    • @SonicSVTFocus
      @SonicSVTFocus  3 роки тому +5

      It hasn't been a huge priority to do that since that's a large investment just to get gauges to work. Plus I already have over 40 racing games for the Xbox One

    • @BiohazardX9
      @BiohazardX9 2 роки тому +1

      Not entirely, some games EG Forza, do work with guages, by outputting a data stream. All the guy would need is a small PC (even a pi probably could do it) - however it's getting the data into the cluster. you would have to mimic the black oak PCM to send the signals into that ford cluster. (I know as I own one still). uses PWM signals so not too bad actually.

    • @SonicSVTFocus
      @SonicSVTFocus  3 роки тому

      I had the table for years and don't remember where I got it. It happens to be the right height for my dash but you might want to measure the height of your dash to the floorboard and use that as a basis to find the correct height table you need for your setup.

      My cluster is not wired up. You would need to wire it up using an Arduino and have that interface with an app of program that reads the data output by the game. Many PC games out out the data. Most console games don't.

      Yeah, and I've researched the parts I got for free or stupid cheap and people can get them from sources for a low price. For example, the dash can be bought from a local parts yard for $50. So it can be duplicated without buying everything new at crazy high prices.
