BMW E90 instrument cluster for Euro/American Truck simulator with Arduino

One of the easiest setup for a beginner in my opinion. This tutorial is to help setup a BMW E90 cluster to work with the python script developed by Marcin Jakubowski. I have linked his original video link below. All credits go to him for the code and plugins. This is one of the easiest cluster setups I can say.
Update (14 May 2024): Please see the pinned comment for a second method for getting your E90 working. The code here is from a different group of people than the one mentioned in the video.

Update1(2024): Some of our discord members have made a free encrypted Arduino hex file that can be flashed to an UNO (with CS pins 9 & 10 versions) with X-Loader on their discord group too. The nCalc code is also present there. This is a second method for getting your E90 working. The code here is from a different group of people than the one mentioned in the video. Here is a link to the files in cloud since some folks are having difficulty joining the channel. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U9z4WubrQf4imlutEZ8eULHHfZXKKZNq?usp=sharing Update 2: Some people have said that EU diesel seems to be working fine.

hey, i have the same cluster and i was wondering if it would work with an arduino UNO and a MCP 2515 module? Thanks

Well I guess it should work. Now I don’t have the module per se to test and help you if it didn’t work. These Chinese clones of can shield are pretty cheap like from keystudio and it’s a one time buy.

@ivcho8055 Жыл бұрын

hello 🙂 I want to ask if I can run a mileage on an e90 with a mcp2515 module and play games? or i will need canbus

@randomscience4k Жыл бұрын

Well don’t get the mini board with MCP2515. Better to get a shield that fits on top of arduino board. With the other one you need to do your own homework or get help. More people use shield. Definitely the e90 is can is driven. But advantage is if only has four wires. 12V, gnd, can high and can low.

The connect button is a bit glitchy, you need to press it a few times to make it connect. But it will connect eventually

I want to buy an cluster that works on 24v, if I buy an 24v for it and that arduino stuff. Then it should work right?

@randomscience4k Жыл бұрын

24V is generally used in trucks I guess. But the code for e90 is specific to it and maybe the bmw e60. Running a different cluster requires a different arduino code especially if it’s a can bus based one.

I play beamng and ETS2, do I need to do anything else to use it with Beamng? I noticed you put a beamng variant, but is it a beamng and ETS2 or just beamng? Also because in the video on the github, the beamng variant, the dash lights don't seem to work

@randomscience4k 2 ай бұрын

Check the pinned comment I added recently, in case you haven't figured it yet. The link to the discord channel should lead you to an Arduino sketch that supports beamng also.

Did you need a 12 v power supply to power the cluster up

@randomscience4k Жыл бұрын

Yes, I’ve used an old hp computer power supply. But any 12V 3-5Amp adapter will do fine.

If simhub doesn't recognize your Arduino then it could be an issue with your Arduino itself I believe.

If the about cluster is non CAN bus based the. You can follow the bmw e36 guide to get it running. But if it is can bus based then you need the can IDs and its frames to get it working. Unfortunately I don’t have these clusters or this can info with me

@@nullfex5958 you mean in the central lcd the warning icons keep looping? That’s going to be there always given that we aren’t sending any signals for those. All the can bus ID was taken from loopbunny.co.uk website. You can try to see if you can play with other ones like cruise control for example to get it to work.
