VoCore Dash for Fanatec Bases

thingiverse

This project is based off Mige's original. The original is not meant for a Fanatec Wheelbase so I modified the originals to fit the Fanatec bases (they have a 56mm distance between the mounting holes). Both adjustable bracket and fixed are included here. You can grab the other 2 dash pieces for the adjustable bracket from Mige's original. I found the Front Case from Mige to have a flaw. The top row of LEDs do not match the orientation from the side LEDs. Since the LEDs for this project require a IN-OUT-IN-OUT, etc pattern, the original Front Case does not work, unless you use more wire to run from one side of the dash to the other and then back again to the other side... Not very convenient. I moved the top row of LEDs so you can mount all LEDs in the same orientation. Make sure to hotglue the LED boards in place so they won't move around in the case. And line them up before you hot glue so they are facing properly. I didn't necessarily want a back open case with an additional piece for the rear so I made a closed rear case. You will see there are 2 sizes 12mm and 15mm. If you have an Arduino with Micro USB you should be ok with the 12mm. Use the 15mm if your Arduino is Mini USB (the plug is slightly larger). I ran both USB cables out of the case and into a mini USB hub you can see from the pictures. M3 bolts all around, 25mm up top and 30mm on bottom to offset for the bracket itself. Use nuts to tie them down.

Also hotglue gun which is super easy to use.
