Telemetry support

[DavidMag]

Affected version:

v1.34.0-flatpak

Are your devices running the latest firmware?:

Yes,
OS: Fedora Linux 42 (Workstation Edition)
latest Dirt rally 2.0 through steam

Current Behavior:

RPM lights on the wheel is calmly pulsating, tried to fiddle around with the settings without any success. Read that usually you have to select/configure the game in Moza pit house but there isn't any equivalent in Boxflat.

Expected Behavior:

The rpm meter should correspond to the rpm of the car.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Set the RPM indicator mode to RPM
2. Start dirt rally 2.0
3. Make car go vroom

Yeah, telemetry is something planned for version 2, sorry. I just never had the urge to do it and the codebase it's a bit of a mess right now. I'm slowly working on a complete overhaul that could enable me to easily add telemetry support and make it actually be good a customizable.

For starters, I'll support just UDP games like Dirt and a few others and then I'll work with Monocoque to support shared memory games.

I'm just a solo dev and I don't have the same amount of time to work on boxflat as I had last summer :P I did book a few days for that in the coming week, but we'll see if life won't have other plans.

🤔 Is there a simple way to turn off the lights while waiting on telemetry support? Considering picking one of these up, so I don’t have a way to code/test it myself

Yeah you can turn it off.

Hey good morning everyone, any update on this?

I was fiddling around with a few games and verified in console that the port is getting data from UDP, so is there any way to try to allow Boxflat to open to the 127.0.1.0 standard IP and 20777 I think it was for default port?

What does Boxflat listen to or look for to possibly allow it to work or is it just not implemented and the RML Light section is purely cosmetic?

I have verified that in multiple games I can get it to send data out but there's nothing I can find to allow Boxflat to pick it up nor a way for simhub to pass it along.

I built my own tool for now: https://github.com/francisdb/moza-rev but the list of games is limited
