Firstly , please do not remind me to look at https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/SimHub-Basics----Games-config-and-troubleshooting#about-consoles-configuration - I have read this and it looks at IP and UDP connections - I get it.

If the SIMHUB dash, using a Nextion works supposedly on XBOX - can someone who has this actually working , please assist. I am beginning to think it's a HOAX. I am beginning to think that all you can do is stream XBOX console data to your PC - then display it on a screen plugged into your PC

My question is WHERE do you plug the USB into that comes from the screen's TTY interface. I'm not interested in plugging into a PC

or is "The following game list is "known to work" but with no guarantee" just a tease

Hi ! Simhub is a PC software, those instructions are explaining how to feed the telemetry to the simhub pc software which will drive then drive the various possible devices (including nextion). 

Without the pc software the nextion is a "dumb" device, simhub is required to process the data. That's why consoles are totally secondary in simhub and I keep it focused on PC.

Originally I wasn't adding any mentions about the possibility to get telemetry from consoles, but after numerous requests I had to add those instructions, I'm sorry that it made you think that you could bypass the pc software and plug the screen directly to your console. I will add a mention to avoid the confusion in the documentation.

Hi Nicolas, sorry if my post was a little grumpy...you have developed a fantastic product.

 

I guess i have a couple of options now open to me....the first is the USB attached screen that I can run on A NUC next to y console Sim....the other is to use a tablet using the www address :8888

 

I have got the XBOX UDP broadcasting to to NUC....so that's pretty cool.

to use a tablet, do I just put the IP:8888 into browser on my tablet?....working 🙂
