The 'C' is for Cheap.

This project uses a cheap yellow display (ESP32-8048S043) as its foundation. It can be acquired for round 30-40€ on Aliexpress, for example.

Currently I only have a way to mount it on a G29 because its what I have.

To drive it I one of my other projects: ESDI

Before anything else, many thanks to:

display example


Assembly
It requires a very simple modification to the G29. The display will seat between the base and the steering wheel and for the stock G29 paddles to remain functional, the steering wheel must be spaced.

I used simple spacers that I had laying around with OD≃8mm and ID≃5mm. They will go on the screws that screw the wheel to the base:

Roadmap
  • [ ] Simhub support
  • [ ] Better layout tooling
  • [ ] Dynamic layout/data


Notes
Wiring
RX 18 -> yellow -> green
TX 19 -> blue -> white

Cool fonts I like:
  • u8g2_font_bubble_tr (really cool for splash screens)
  • u8g2_font_helvR10_tr (very readable, should really try this one)
  • u8g2_font_6x12_tf (monospace)
