Does anybody know a good app for use as a digital buttonbox on I pad or android tablet? I bought Sim Dashboard some time ago but there are issues with displaying correctly on Android, there is no IOS version available. Looks like the developer will not update this problem in a reasonable time. I had have contact with him and he is aware of the problem. So I’m looking for an other option.. ideas?
As far as I know there is no button box option available in SimHub. I have that as well by the way. Just for use with the buttkicker. For the “ normal” dashboard I use DashPanel.
Nice. Just downloaded the server and app. Did a quick test with a button W for wipers in Pcars and it works great. Thanks for the tip. I need to find my way in this app but it does what it needs to do.
I'm using rsDash (versions for several sims available). https://www.pocketplayground.net/rs-dash All info you need and keeps your screen(s) free...
Yeah I’ve seen rsDash as well but does it has a button box option as well? I have a couple of telemetry/dashboard apps already. I’m looking for a digital buttonbox app. I found this easier than clicking keyboard keys.
Nope still not. I made buttons for use with DashPanel, although never use it anymore. I hope to find some time to use those in combination with SimHub as well.
I find it strange that there aren't many available so i just whipped one up quickly. I found one that had some elements and i made it more for my liking.
Looks nice. I need to dive in somewhat deeper. It is not an easy point and click system . But with some time and effort you can make really nice things indeed.
I was worried with the latest version of SimHub that all my dashes wouldn't work but they all work, it is now how to learn how the new systems work. To me its not as easy as it was but i'm sure its now better but just different, change is hard sometimes, lol I just added a second tablet, so wanted my older phone as button box and new bigger tablet as dashes. Works out great. SimHub is amazing, now 2 transducers and 2 screens all running perfectly through it. So good.
Yeah I have also 2 tablets for use on my rig. 1 7inch as dashboard and a IPad Air2 as a button box or whatever. And since a few weeks also a 27 inch 2nd monitor for use with race information etc. As said, I now have to dive in SimHub for making my own buttonbox.
How do you connect your devices? USB tethering? I keep having issues connecting the second device! It will just connect on PC boot 9 out of 10 times, all the other times i need to reinput the IPv4 number (which changes every boot), the first device connects perfectly each boot, just this new device is a pain. I dont understand IPv4 and such things. The tethering stays on upon boot but SimHub only shows the number i need for the device already connected. Also after connecting the 2nd device my internet struggles to connect to some websites! All the sim forums wont load for heaps yet YouTube and Twitter and Gmail open in a flash! Im fully confused by it all.
Just via IP (WiFi) works without any problems here. (Tablets that is) the 2nd screen is just via DVI. I have a simply fiber connection. 100mbit up/down
I am using touch portal on my 7“ android tablet. Stream deck was tested but returned as it didn’t worked on an usb hub. Also too expensive for what it is offering.
