Heusinkveld DisplayDash unveiled
Dutch manufacturer Heusinkveld unveiled a new product at this year’s Sim Formula Europe in Maastricht. The DisplayDash combines a large display with control options and is expected to go on sale later this year for around €300.
Features
The new DisplayDash has a wide range of features. The encoders with additional push function mounted above the display are each housed in their own PCBs, which extend over the display like a bridge. The advantage of this is obvious. Dynamic labelling of functions and additional diagrams allow for extremely high customisability by the user. This is made possible by the SimHub integration that Heusinkveld promises for the new DisplayDash. On the back, there are two usable USB ports and mounts for the standard 100×100 VESA mount. All you need to get started is a USB cable.
