Got some old iPhones or Android devices gathering dust in a drawer? Here’s a great way to repurpose them for your sim racing setup—turn them into digital displays! It’s a quick, simple, and free way to enhance your experience, especially if you're new to the world of sim racing.
To get started, you'll need Simhub (a great tool for adding external hardware to your simulator). If you don’t have it yet, you can download it from Simhub’s website. The setup process is easy to follow, and you can check out this handy tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
Once you’ve got it running, you'll want to mount those devices somewhere. You’ve got a few options:
You can find custom mounts for your specific wheelbase on Etsy.
If you’re into 3D printing, sites like Thingiverse have plenty of free designs.
Or, if you just need a simple flat-surface stand, Amazon has tons of options. Heavy duty Velcro comes in handy for mounting.
This quick DIY project can be a useful and affordable upgrade for your sim rig. Give it a shot and put those old devices to good use.
