TRUCKDECK
A configurable tablet dashboard for PC truck and coach sims.

What it is
A live dashboard on a spare tablet
TruckDeck turns a spare Android tablet into a live dashboard and button panel for PC truck sims. It is not a standalone game.
A small companion, TruckDeck Bridge, runs on your Windows PC. Gauges use live telemetry from the sim. Lights, indicators, the parking brake and other controls are at your fingertips — from the tablet, not the keyboard. The editor is fully configurable, including for coaches and buses. Version 1.0 does not include a ready-made coach or bus dashboard.

FAQ
Quick answers
Do I need an account?
No. Version 1.0 has no account, no ads and no in-app purchases. You connect with the address and the 4-digit PIN shown in the Bridge window.
Does the app work without the Bridge?
No. TruckDeck is not a standalone game. The Android app works only when connected to TruckDeck Bridge on a Windows 10 or 11 PC on the same Wi-Fi network.
Is the connection encrypted?
No. The Bridge uses plain HTTP (no TLS) on port 8765 and is meant for a network you trust. Nothing is sent to us or to the internet. Do not expose port 8765 to the internet.
Is there a ready-made coach or bus dashboard?
Version 1.0 does not include a ready-made coach or bus dashboard. The editor is fully configurable, including for coaches and buses.
