It's only one USB controller which can control up to 8 after market gauges. You can really easilly control Speedo and Tacho. Fuel gauge and Water/Oil temp gauges on cluster may be a little harder to control. It depends on how the original sensors work.
All kind of aftermarket gauges and real car instruments can be controlled by Beta Innovations products. It just must be electrical gauges (not with a cable to control speedometer and tachometer. Like very old cars) As you can see on my "Third test" link I'm also used to control Renault Clio's instruments with BI's products.
The car normally sends a value to the gauges from the ECU, with abit of coding you can fetch the values from the game and have them display on the gauges.
You know what u could have kept the cockpit intact and drove the car in real life lol. Na it's an awesome set up you have. Wish I had the money to get that.
They've probably been converted into USB instruments running on little motors or something. Then if the game has an API that allows access to the rpm and speedo info, it probably only takes a short code to have them reflected in the meters. Hope the poster replies. I'd like to know too.
Why not connect the original steering wheel and steering column to the PC wheel at the back? that way you can use the original steering wheel in its original position
como sacas los datos del lfs????? me he construido un display para r factor pero en lfs no me funciona y mi proximo proyecto es hacerlo con un cuadro de bmw como el tuyo me puedes explicar un poco si eres español?
Muito bom + 1 para o seu vídeo! :) Como que liga os ponteiros do painel de carro real aos do jogo? ficaria grato se pudesse nos explicar passo a passo, obrigado pelas demonstrações!!
Hello, I am a fan of the BMW E36 and I would also like a dashboard with the speedometer for spare parts, I also have a desk for my G27 but how much the card to operate the speedometer?
@GotiKGotcha to my knowledge skyline cluster is electric cluster, just an idea atm but since i have a full calibrated 300kph cluster would be cool to make it into a dash what part am i looking for to control 8 gauges
hey i got a question i just bought a dsahboard and dont know how to hook up the circuit board to make the RPMS and Speedometer work can you help me out maybe ?
You get those E36 parts, and even E36 M3 parts thrown after you. There is a gigantic stock of replacement parts, and then there is of couse tons of left overs from crashed cars, like Greg pointed out
Ciao sono un appassionato delle BMW e36 e tengo anche un cruscotto con il tachimetro per ricambi,Ho anche una postazione per il mio G27 ma quanto costa la scheda per far funzionare il tachimetro?
nicely done, was surprised to see the onboard computer hooked up too

wow he's running with no fuel and zero engine temp at that high of rpm! impressive motor indeed

Hi,
I use Beta Innovations' RSIM Software to read LFS' datas and to control the BMW cluster with Beta Innovations' cards.
The car normally sends a value to the gauges from the ECU, with abit of coding you can fetch the values from the game and have them display on the gauges.
If I did something like this, I'd really consider getting it to work...Maybe have the dials lit up with the bulbs to give better presence.
@thaik56: Yes it is :)
I also can modify the light intensity of the dashboard.
It's just like the Real Car :)
I would like to see it finished!!
You need some 70" widescreen tv ! Awsome :)

Hello friend, you might make a tutoríal connect since the tachometer and all it components
Nothing to say just .... Respect!
how did you make the gauges work on the computer??? no one is telling how!!!
I'm finishing a part of it.
After that I'll explain how it works ;)

the signal cable that would normally be plugged into a car is converted into usb then using some software it inables it to work with games
This cluster comes from eBay. But I've also found a really nice one in a Junkyard indeed ;)

muy buen video olle pero que tengo que tener para que funcione el tablero del carro
Muito bacana circuito de interlagos apimenta ainda mais o brinquedo
great knowledge there, decent job! congrats!
como sacas los datos del lfs????? me he construido un display para r factor pero en lfs no me funciona y mi proximo proyecto es hacerlo con un cuadro de bmw como el tuyo
me puedes explicar un poco si eres español?
I used BetaInnovations products :)
My steering wheel works, it's a FrexGP SimWheel.
As the G25 is a good wheel, the G27 must be too ;)
You need to turn the dashboard lights on
that's why i love a bmw .. it can bring you pleasure even on no GAS haha
link for donwloaded????? please?
could you make me an tutorial??? and materials neededs
sorry my english is so bad

Good Job !
@GotiKGotcha to my knowledge skyline cluster is electric cluster, just an idea atm but since i have a full calibrated 300kph cluster would be cool to make it into a dash
what part am i looking for to control 8 gauges
@GotiKGotcha oh please share you great work i always wanted a setup like that 4 RF

@GotiKGotcha is it 1 usb controller to do the speedo cluster or do i have to buy one for each gauge on the cluster that i want to control
hey i got a question i just bought a dsahboard and dont know how to hook up the circuit board to make the RPMS and Speedometer work can you help me out maybe ?
Press down on 1-9 quickly and randomly, you can make beats out of the engine noise xD
would that work on gran turismo? any one of them? I have all GTs but only a steering wheel, if I think in putting gauges would it work?
where you buy the controller for : limit, range ,consum temp.......?
THAT'S GREAT! HOW YOU DID THAT!?!
poor E36 M3 that ended up this way..
Maybe that car been after crash or been too rusty so him give a second life for parts from that car

vc que fez o controle ? se nao sabe quem vende ?
cant u put out a video how to do it?

ummmm your intro is a slowed down version of the midori days anime opening...lol sweet. i always liked it
also, this is awesome, how does it work?
@Jizonelos i know to build it but where can u get the parts
Did you have a example how to conect the instruments to the pc and what i should buy? ty!
Where you connect Tachometer and Speedometer ?
Is it possible to light up the dashboard (where Tachometer and speedometer are) like in a real car at night? ^^
Is it possible to light up the dashboard? ^^
Like in a real car at night.
Definitely yes it is :)
But it's also highly more expensive ;)
of which car is this panel?
Excuse my English, I am Brazilian! lol ...
i think beta innovations is losed down do u know where else i can get this stuff
How much do you pay or why can play with a cockpit with all functions?
sorry for Bad English
Isn't the whole "real" dash thing a big waste of time and money when you already have an almost photo realistic inside view of the car you're driving?
how did you do or do occur you figured this speedometer
@MrVinesh2 Prolly junkyards, carpart sales, internet ?
BROTHEEEER OH MY BROTHER, MY DEAR BROTHER HOW MUCH TIME?? OH THIS IS A GIFT FOR ME? AAAAAW YOU'RE SO SWEET :3
is this available for purchase
