@admin5435 what kind of lcd is that, did you use de dahsboard from simhub or use a hmi template like nextion?

We have this working in both the ESP8266 and ESP32 with different screens and features and over serial and WiFi. As a matter of fact, zcorneli's description of their solution is how I implemented WiFi almost exactly.

We recently added the NeoPixelBus library, to be able to leverage ESP8266 and ESP32's hardware to drive LEDs in a more performant way too (FastLED can do it too, but it's more quirky).

Not sure about the posters above, but I got a Github repo with support for the ESP8266 and even WiFi connection to SimHub too:

I will check if this works on the ESP32 soon

@zcorneli

Awersome idea, byu any chance do you have a github repo for this ?

@admin5435,

I've been doing some work with the ESP32 and ILI9341 display on a TTGO T4 module (2.4" 320x240 screen, ESP32, IP5306 battery manager chip), and have something that works pretty well over wifi, using a com port to TCP redirector (and a TCP socket on the ESP32).

Is there somewhere I can submit pull requests or similar for the changes to get things working well on the ESP8266 and ESP32s? I've got patches to use NeoPixelBus (ESP32/ESP8266 WS2812 driver utilizing DMA for speed), ILI9341 SPI display (This one requires some memory hacks to get DMA working to drive the display reasonably - Probably ESP32 only?), and some changes to arqserial to handle swapping in a new Stream, to allow using a TCP socket.

- Here's it's reporting as a Nokia GLCD, using the Adafruit GFX library to draw tire and brake temps, ERS charge percentage, lap number, position, gap ahead, gap behind. I've got a separate screen for NewLap, which shows the laptime, delta, and colored sector time bars.

@admin5435 any clue to the code that used on the esp32 would helpfull

Yeah can we have even a rough example sketch that you used with the esp32?

A rough outline of just getting basic communication between an esp32 and simhub would open up a world of fun work :)

@admin5435 hi 🙂 im totaly new ob simhub.

Im searching a while for a solution how i can get an arduino mega and ili 9341 to Work. I also have an esp32. It would be a Dreams If i can get one of These combination to Work.

Do you know how i have to Edit the Sketchfile?

Best regards

Hi ! I did experiment with esp32 indeed, it's fast with no doubt ;) But it's a really different platform (compilation, upload etc ...) even if the language used is the same. That's something which will take some time before I will reach something mature for this platform;)

a few experiments I did :
