Short update - all working.

The test data worked on the LEDs but not the main screen. However when I ran it in ACC everything worked as expected.

I've subsequently created a simple dash with throttle and brake bars. A simple test on the keyboard seems to show it working ok, but the bar output isn't smooth. I'm assuming that when I'm using the pedals it's smooth things out.

This really is a great bit of software 😀

Thanks, I was able to test the LEDs functionality, but nothing seemed to be happening on the nextion display.

Hi !

Yes for most of the built in effects : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/LED-Editor-guide#test-data-editor

Nextion screen and LEDs with Arduino Pro Micro

I've set up a Nextion screen and a strip of 16 programmable LEDs. They are connected to an Arduino ProMicro as described in the wiki.

I edited the Arduino sketch and uploaded it to the ProMicro. I already had the AMG screen template uploaded to the Nextion.

Is there a way to send test data to this set-up without running a game? I've taken my gaming PC to my office to set this up and don't have my rig (wheel/pedals etc) to let me run ACC to test.
