f1telemetry

Go library for using the F1 2017 UDP telemetry, based on their post here

Usage

For the most simple and probably unoptimal usage, you can call ListenForTelemetryPackets with an ip:port and a channel of TelemetryPacket to receive telemetry data as it's delivered:

packets := make(chan t.TelemetryPacket)
t.ListenForTelemetryPackets("127.0.0.1:20777", packets)

for {
	packet := <-packets
	fmt.Printf("[Speed: %.02fmph | Engine RPM: %.02f, Engine temp: %.02fc]\n",
		packet.GetSpeedMPH(),
		packet.EngineRate,
		packet.EngineTemperature,
	)
}

For more advanced or generalized use, you can use ParseBytesToPacket on each packet (as a []byte) that you receive from your own UDP handling to receive a TelemetryPacket struct from your original packet

There are some helper methods and consts to make dealings with some of the data a little easier (TyresTemperature[FrontLeft] instead of remembering that front left is 2, and methods such as GetTrackName())

Notes

I kept as close to the Codemasters naming while sticking to Go conventions, this means "m_speed" becomes "Speed", however I kept the UK spelling of things such as "Tyre" to conform to what Codemasters own documentation says (link at the top of this readme)
