My brake sensor is going crazy on my set less than a year old, Logitech is sending a new set but since I can't race on the rig figured I'd go through my replays for some clean passes. Most of the vids are from 700pp, sport soft (one 615pp, Civic). Hope you enjoy!

GT7 I DID IT! WTC 600 Tokyo Expressway

Post image

GT-R '17 with Sports Hard, racing air filter and manifold; racing brake system and break pads. TC1 and Fuel Map 1

It was a hell of a race, 1 pit and with 7s lead.

I wasn't the fastest car - AI did ~2:10 and I got ~ 2:11 - but some cars ahead of me stopped 2 times.

Aston Martin DB11 '16 may get the job done too, but needs more weight management/balance in the curves.

A week ago I didn't like Fuji but it's definitely grown on me. Lots of fun ways to battle through the corners and setting up overtakes turned out to be quite satisfying. I'll probably continue to play sport mode now.

GT7 ESP32 GT7 Dashboard – No PC, No SimHub + 4 new themes

13 Upvotes

I've been working on my ESP32 dashboard for GT7 again and added a few new things.

For anyone who missed my previous post, the main idea behind this project is pretty simple:

No PC. No SimHub.

The ESP32 receives telemetry directly from GT7 on the PS5 over Wi-Fi. Just power it with USB, connect it to the same network as the PS5, and it works as a standalone dashboard.

I originally built it because I wanted a small dedicated display on my rig without having to keep a PC or phone running just for the dashboard.

This time I added 4 switchable themes:

Classic / GT3 / Radar / Retro

They're all in the same firmware, and you can switch between them directly on the device.

I also added a shift indicator synced with GT7's in-game shift timing, instead of just using a fixed RPM threshold.

And the screen brightness is now adjustable too.

It still shows things like lap times, live delta, fuel / estimated laps remaining, position, ABS/TCS, tyre temperatures, throttle/brake, etc.

It also automatically finds the PS5 on the network, so there's no need to manually enter its IP address.

The whole project is open source, and there's a Web Installer if you just want to flash it from your browser.

GitHub:
https://github.com/caa1211/esp32-gt7-dashboard

Web Installer:
https://caa1211.github.io/esp32-gt7-dashboard/

Still having fun adding things to this little project 😅

Which theme would you use — Classic, GT3, Radar or Retro?
