 What's up everybody, I'm EvilRabbit here to show you guys a little bit of something about this tablet that I have over here. So I know a lot of you guys have seen it in some of the videos. So we're going to talk a little bit about it today using SimHub to make a digital button box. The image may not be crystal clear on the camera, but I will show you everything that it has, using R Factor basically as a test tool so that you guys can see kind of what it does. You can see in the background. So right over here we do have an ignition button, it turns our ignition on on the car. Make sure the car is in neutral. We have a starter button. We have our pit limiter button, which actually indicates and is actually flashing here on the screen as well. As well as we have a headlight button that turns on and indicates a green LED up here as well. Ignition has a green LED when it's on. We have an instant neutral button, which in R Factor you can do both paddles to go into neutral. We request pit stop. We have our wipers, which actually activates our wipers in speed, and then we have our traction control button, which adjusts our traction control levels. So we're going to use R Factor 2 as a basis, but I will also talk about a set of Corsa because you can do it in a set of Corsa and stuff like that using the app SimHub. So let's get into actually looking at the SimHub app on the computer. This can be done on any tablets, phones, or anything like that. You don't have to have anything on the phone. You can just use a tablet that's connected to wifi and stuff like that. So let's go take a look at the SimHub app, show you guys exactly how I set up these buttons, how we made them, and stuff like that. We're going to turn our wipers off, turn our headlights off, turn our pit limiter off, and well, shut the car off. Killed the car instantly. So let's go take a look at the SimHub app. Make sure you guys follow me on Instagram and Twitter, all which are found in the description box below. Let's switch this up. As you can see we were in R Factor 2, so we're going to do this real quick. So we have ignition on, as you can see my cluster in the game comes on, and we have our pit limiter which starts flashing our indicators on our dash. We don't have to clutch in, but we're going to clutch in. Start stop. There we go. That's neutral and we have headlights, and of course we have the wipers which activate the wipers in the game by speeds. So let's go take a look at the app, show you guys how I did this, and well, so you guys can do it yourself. So SimHub app. All you got to go do is download SimHub off the internet, there's nothing major about it, and basically when you want to use an app in a tablet or something, you do something as simply as do phone on phone or tablet, it'll give you a link that you type in on the web browser on your tablet, and then that'll take you to, it'll open the app up right on your tablet or phone or stuff like that. So let's talk a little bit about these button box that I've created here for R Factor 2. So as you can see, it's a lot cleaner when you're actually looking at it, here's just a windowed mode of it, when you actually click on the buttons they do change. Now none of the indicators or lights are flashing or anything like that because of the fact that there's nothing actually going on, it's not connected to a game, but as you can see the, you know, T.O. Hue that flashes along with the indicator lights up top will turn on when those indicators are on and when they're off, as you can see the LEDs are off. It's very simple to do, set up these button situations and stuff like that. So basically what I did is I went and I went online and I pulled up basically a P and G file of a button and I kind of made my own buttons and changed colors for my LEDs and start stops on and off and stuff like that. And that's how I was able to create the button situations and how I did it. So creating a button is very simple. All you have to do is create a button, gives you a little red drop down box and then you go down here to where it says image for image pressed and image not pressed. So we're just going to do another, well we're going to do, let's see what I want to do. Do we have an ABS button? We don't have an ABS button. So let's pull in some ABS buttons by clicking on the three little icons. I think we have, we have pit limiters, pits, ignition, we'll just select some ABS. So we'll go in here and we'll find our ABS that we just dragged in. So image, ABS and then pressed image we're going to do with ABS blue. So you won't see the blue unless you actually test it in say a window mode. Then when you push it, see how it changes blue. It would do that on your tablet screen while you're pushing it. So now to get this to link to something, it's as simple as going up here to simulate key and you can pick any key you want on your keyboard. So if you're ever searching for something on a keyboard or you're trying to find it, you know, and it's hard to find for controls such as, you know, for headlights or whatever or push the talk or basically spawn the pit in say a set of Corsa. You can link any button to any of these keyboard commands and that will allow you to put it in the game. So we're actually going to delete the ABS and show you. So neutral I had set as N and my ignition and I have set as I, my starter is S, my pit limiter is L, my request pit stop is Q, my headlights is H, my wipers is W and then we have Z and X for up and down for traction control. So once you put the commands in here and you open up on a tablet, you go into the game and you select the command like, oh, set, set button for, you know, traction show up. And you would normally on your keyboard, you'd hit Z, but you can also hit Z on the keyboard or you can actually tap the button on the actual tablet screen or phone that you're running and then that will give it the command that anytime you touch that tablet screen it will activate that command for Z. So now when it comes to the displays to get it to turn on and say I have an off LED and I want an on LED, it's, it's as simple as that. You do a toggle image and you create a new toggle image. We're going to make another one here just so you can see it. So we have a toggle image. We're going to go into here. We're going to go to, where's my, I think this is the surface mount LED. Yep, there it is. So that's my, that's my LED. We're going to make it pretty big just so you can kind of see it. And then for the toggle image on, we have the same LED but green colored. So when it's turned on, it will turn green. That's what this value is. And then to get it to go on for say a certain command, like I have this for ignition and pit limiter, each games or every game is different. So you would go into binding components and then you would do insert properly unless you know the commands. And so say it was the starter. So I would start typing starter and right here is the command for telemetry ignition starter. So that's when the ignition is on. You click on it, it pulls it up and now this light will turn on when the starter or the ignition of the car is on this light will be on. If the ignition is turned off, the light will turn off. That's how simple it is to create like a toggled image and stuff like that. So I know a lot of people have tablets lying around, don't want to buy a button box, but that is exactly what I did. I had a tablet lying around and wanted to make a button control on the side. So when it comes to say a set of Corsa, it's as simple as setting up a button and toggling it to a key. So you can toggle to spawn back to pits and you can even put like a word that says spawn pit and just tap the word. As long as it's set as a toggle toggle button, which by using the button command over here and creating the button, you just tap that you'll spawn back to pits. So it's very universal. And like I said, some games are different when it comes to what commands you can use. And there's a simple way to find out what commands can be used. If you go into Simhub, now Simhub is free, but it is a little bit delayed. You can donate a little bit of money. I think it's, I think the minimum is like $2 or $1 or something like that. And it goes up to full, you know, full speed where there's no delay in your shift times or your display times or anything like that. So if you want to know what commands are available for certain games, you go to the main screen. These are all the games that are supported by Simhub, which, you know, they have fours of horizons, you know, fours of horizons, four, fours of horizons, what, seven, dirt, dirt, rally, auto-malete, you know, a set of course, a competitive zone. And, you know, we're using R effective two right now. You can go to available properties and you can actually show specific game raw data. You can see what all commands are available. So you can do best lap times. You can do break, break bias. Some of them are computed like damage is not supported. These are all the commands you can do for like toggle images and buttons like red line display percentage for, you know, it goes on and on, but to do simple buttons, which is, this is all about, it's as simple as making it built to a key. You don't have to do anything super fancy. Like this was the first button box that I did. Nothing fancy. It was just buttons. And all I did was have them change colors when I pushed it. But I set all these to a command. And as you can see, neutral was set to N, my ignition was set to I, started with sets S, limiter, then C and Z and D. So you can set the entire keyboard up on basically buttons and put a little display on. So if you don't have like a stream deck or something like that to create like a button box or you don't want to build a button box is you don't want to, you know, worry about wiring or having, you know, little circuit boards and basically building it all. This is a cheap and very easy way to do it. I say cheap because if you have a tablet lying around or an old phone or something like that, that'll work just fine. Doesn't have to be anything specific because like I said, when you go to run it in a tablet display, it'll give you the option. I'm not going to do it because it'll show IP address, but you can run a windowed mode. And you can put it on another screen. I just slid this off to my second screen. You put on another screen and still use it. Or you can do a specific monitor, secondary monitor or phone or tablet. When you click phone or tablet, it'll pull up a little box that gives you a QR code or a web address to type in on the device you want to use, a phone or a tablet. You type that web address in exactly, it'll open SimHub up on the tablet. You don't need to download an app to the tablet. You don't need to download an app to the phone. All you need to do is have it internet access to the same internet that your PC is connected to and download the SimHub app on your PC. So SimHub app is very simple to find. I didn't want to actually close that. I'm going to reopen my SimHub app. So SimHub is, like I said, very simple to find. We can just Google SimHub and go to SimHub dashboard. It'll bring you right all to it. So when I said you have to, you can get a license for, get it for five. I'm not sure what it is in American right now. But it goes up to 60 FPS instead of 10 FPS. Free version sends frames a second. The paid version is 60. You pay once, you can pay, donate whatever you want down from five all the way up to 20. You know, I think this is in Euro credits. I'm not sure. So that's how you get it. You basically just go to SimHub, download the version and you're good to go. There's also tutorials and stuff like that that can on the app that can show you how to do stuff. But creating a simple button box, very simple, very easy. So to quickly go back and do a quick recap, we're going to go back and edit dashboard. We just did create button. We're going to create another one, create a button that brings out a blank box. You use all the way down by images. You install some images, whatever you feel fit. I already have some images installed. All you do is do your off one, start, stop off and then start, stop on. And there's your button and then say we'll set this to simulate key S. So now if you were to actually be doing it in the game, when you push it or tap it on the tablet screen, it'll simulate like you're hitting S on the keyboard. So if you want certain commands that are right next to you rather than trying to find your keyboard or things like that, like a push to talk, like a mic button or something like that, it's very easy to do on the side of a tablet, mount it up or whatever you want to do. So I hope you guys enjoyed this little look at creating a button box with a tablet or phone that you have lying around using SimHub. I know there's probably some other tutorials out there about using SimHub, but it took me a while to figure this out. So I figured I'd bring it out to you guys, show you guys the update on the SimRig with the button box on the side. I'm going to be doing some, a lot more with it. I'm going to be changing some things up and some more buttons, maybe getting a little more fancy with my buttons. But it's definitely a cool thing to have on the side. So make sure you guys follow me on Instagram, Twitter, all of which are found in the description box below. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. And as always, thank you guys for watching. I'm EvilRabbit. I'll see you guys on the track.
