Can I upload multiple profiles at once if I use Arduino devices not SimHub pre configured devices?
Can I upload multiple profiles at once if I use Arduino devices not SimHub pre configured devices?
YES! - and it’s easy. All DIY devices, and also lots of OEM devices that do not have SimHub device profiles are added via the Arduino RGB tab in SimHub. Here you can add an unlimited number of devices, however you must take care to ensure you order them correctly to ensure they display as intended. Following the instructions below will allow you to upload multiple profiles at once.
Step 1
Ensure you have all the profiles loaded within your SimHub LED Profile Manager list.
Step 2
In the My Hardware tab of Arduino, ensure the order of your devices matches the order of the LED profiles you wish to use (typically always ensure your DDU/Wheel is the top device). Take note of the RGB LEDs to and from. In the example shown here 1 to 20, this means the devices below it would start at 21 onwards etc.
Step 3
Navigate back to the RGB LEDs tab.
Step 4
Press Add Effect and scroll down the list until you find ''Include Profile'' - then press add.
Step 5
In the 'Include Profile' effect, select your desired profile for your additional devide in the dropdown list.
Step 6
Ensure the start position for this 'Include Profile' effect is the same number as the first number of the start point as shown in your my Hardware page. The example shown would ensure my DDU profile starts at position 1, and as it is a 5-10-5 profile (20 LEDs total), my 'Include Profile' effect below it for brows would now start at position 21.
Step 7
REPEAT this tutorial for every additional device you wish to add. You can add an unlimited amount of devices to your RGB LEDs using this method.

FAQ
What is True Dark Mode?
True Dark Mode is a feature developed and introduced by the Lovely Dashboard at the request of Daniel Newman. Daniel wanted a dashboard feature that would enable a ‘muted’ and monochrome theme for nighttime driving to help ensure both total realism and immersion, whilst protecting drivers vision. True Dark Mode is therefore a state within the LED profiles that mirrors the Lovely Dashboard and on activation turns ALL LEDs to one of 4 monochrome themes (Red, Blue, Purple, Orange).
The Sleep Foundation (as cited by Lovely Dashboard above) states:
Melatonin is a hormone made in the body. It regulates night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles. Darkness triggers the body to make more melatonin, which signals the body to sleep. Light decreases melatonin production and signals the body to be awake.
In extended driving sessions, especially during the late hours, light may be scarce and the mind starts slipping into a night cycle. To counter the effect of melatonin and reduce the amounts produced in our body, we need to reverse the trigger by using colour hues that negate the melatonin.
Blue light not only suppresses melatonin, it also enables the circadian rhythm to help the body maintain alertness.
Switching to the Blue True Dark Mode during these long low-lit driving stints would decrease the amount of melatonin in our body, maintaining alertness.
What are telemetry LEDs?
On most DDU (dedicated display units) and high end SIM steering wheels, the LED configuration consists of 3 sections. A long row at the top, and 2 small sections either side. The LEDs are collectively known as telemetry LEDs as they output SIM telemetry. The LED bar across the top is considered the RPMs while the LEDs to the left and right are the peripheral telemetry LEDs.
What does becoming a member mean?
Becoming a member of Daniel Newman Racing will unlock access to exclusive downloads and profiles for members only, as well as unlock a special members only lounge within the discord community. You can find more information about membership here
How do I become a member?
Becoming a member is easy. Simply visit the DNR Ko-Fi page (https://ko-fi.com/danielnewmanracing) and subscribe to one of the 3 membership tiers (Pit Crew, Team Driver, Team Principal and your Daniel Newman Racing membership is unlocked.
Membership Vs Donations
Ko-Fi provides the option for either membership or one time donations. Membership is a monthly subscription service that starts at £3, that allows you to access downloads and exclusive files from Daniel Newman Racing. One time donations does NOT provide any of this access, but allows for members to either make one time donations as a way of thanks for a good piece of work enjoyed by them, or for others who aren’t interested in a membership to do the same. One time donations are just that, donations, and they do not provide any form of exclusive access.
Can I use a DNR profile on a Streamdeck?
No. Streamdecks are LCD devices, not LED. Each ‘square’ forms part of an LCD screen which displays a graphically designed image, and not an addressable LED. Therefore it is not possible to use a Streamdeck for a DNR profile, nor is it possible to create one.
