XPlaneConnector 1.0.0

XPlaneConnector

Read data and send commands to XPlane via UDP

XPlaneConnector can run on a raspberry or similar using Mono. You can send commands and subscribe to DataRef. An event OnDataRefReceived is fired every time the value of a subscribed DataRef changes. Should XPlane crash and restart, this connector can detect that DataRefs aren't being updated and will automatically request a new subscription.

Usage

Create the connector

The constructor takes the XPlane IP and port as parameters, default is 127.0.0.1 on port 49000

var connector = new XPlaneConnector(); // Default IP 127.0.0.1 Port 49000
var connector = new XPlaneConnector("192.168.0.100"); 
var connector = new XPlaneConnector("192.168.0.100", 49010); 

Sending a command

Just pass the command

connector.SendCommand("sim/electrical/battery_1_on");

Subscribe to a DataRef

You can subscribe to as many DataRef you want. You can handle the values in three ways:

DataRef event

connector.Subscribe("sim/cockpit/radios/com1_stdby_freq_hz", 5, (e, v) => {

    Console.WriteLine($"{DateTime.Now:HH:mm:ss.fff} - {e.DataRef} - {v}");
});

Connector event

connector.OnDataRefReceived += (dataref, value) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{DateTime.Now:HH:mm:ss.fff} - {dataref}={value}");
};

Direct query

var value = connector.GetDataRefValue("sim/cockpit/radios/com1_stdby_freq_hz");

NOTE: You must have already subscribed to a DataRef using the Subscribe method.
