This tool collects data from popular racing simulators (for now), to pass it to peripherals (or a peripheral, only made one so far). This is the currently available peripheral: CDashDisplay.

If anyone finds this project useful for anything at all it would be pretty cool. My main goal is to learn and have some fun.

Currently it can read from a .ibt file or live telemetry from iRacing. It can only be ran from the terminal: go run . offline -p <port> -i <ibt-file>

or to view the live data: go run . live -p <port>

Games implemented so far:

iRacing using the goirsdk

Roadmap

Implement the interface for a data source
Configuration of the peripherals via ESDI
Detection of the display
LapTime Calculator
A very long list useful stuff like flags, position, more info about other drivers, track conditions and so on so forth
Telemetry analysis tool
Better user interface

Development

Mockservers

To mock BeamNG.drive, I built BeaMNGMockOg (should have though longer about the name). You create a recording by launching the BeamNG and then launching the mockserver with: BeamNGMockOg record -a 127.0.0.1 -p 4443 -o output.bin.

To replay the recording: BeamNGMockOg replay [--loop] -a 127.0.0.1 -p 4443 -i input.bin

Troubleshooting

Can't see BeamNG data coming through

Use, for example, tcpdump -i any udp port <port> -X to check if any data is available.

Debugging

Freezes:

Using delve:

Launch Terminal1 with dlv debug . --headless --listen=:2345 -- tui
Launch Terminal2 and connect to with with dlv connect :2345
Type continue onto Terminal2 and go to Terminal1 to use the application normally until it hangs.
Go back to Terminal2 to and do a Ctrl+c to capture the state and then check what went wrong by looking at the goroutines for example.

pprof:

go tool pprof http://localhost:8001/debug/pprof/mutex
- type top to view the summary
- type web to view a graph version

Shameless begging

Hey, doesn't hurt to try, its free either way: Buy me a coffee!
