Nextion Dash Housing for Fanatec DD1 DD2 Simrig Sim Racing Simhub
Case and mount for Nextion 5.3" display with shiftlight option
This fits onto the 4 threaded holes on the front of the Fanatec DD1 and DD2 and maybe the DD pro, but I don't have one to confirm.

Electronics
I used this youtube video for the shift light: youtube.com/watch?v=zzOeTT6klBE
Arduino: Nano v3
RGB LEDs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CDTE6Y6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I swapped the TTL > USB converter from the one the comes with the display to this one as its quite a bit thinner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088P5FS21/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Supports
Limited supports between the Nextion and RGB LED slot.
Fasteners
I used brass threaded inserts you can press in with a little bit of heat (I used my soldering iron) and 3mm counter sunk stainless screws.
Options
Included in the files are both a Nextion only display housing and a combo to also include a shift light above the Nextion display. The fit is tight for the LEDs by design. All electronics fit in the housing behind the display but its also tight.
Programming
This is the easiest part as its all basically handled by simhub.
