Golang iRacing SDK

Golang implementation of iRacing SDK

Install

You need a gcc compiler to build the SDK, Golang does not have (as far as I know) unsafe low level access to memory map files and windows broadcast events, so CGO is used to bridge this functions with C native ones. The easiest way is to install MiniGw for 64 bits: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

With a gcc compiler in place, you can follow the standard path get to external libs in Go

1. Execute go get github.com/quimcalpe/iracing-sdk

Usage

Simplest example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/quimcalpe/iracing-sdk"
)

func main() {
    var sdk irsdk.IRSDK
    sdk = irsdk.Init(nil)
    defer sdk.Close()
    speed, _ := sdk.GetVar("Speed")
    fmt.Printf("Speed: %s", speed)
}

Get data in a loop live

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    "github.com/quimcalpe/iracing-sdk"
)

func main() {
    var sdk irsdk.IRSDK
    sdk = irsdk.Init(nil)
    defer sdk.Close()

    for {
        sdk.WaitForData(100 * time.Millisecond)
        speed, err := sdk.GetVar("Speed")
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("Speed: %s", speed)
    }
}

Work with an offline ibt file

reader, err := os.Open("data.ibt")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
sdk = irsdk.Init(reader)
...

Examples

• Export Telemetry Data and Session yaml to files

• Broadcast Commands to iRacing

• Simple Dashboard for external monitors or phones
