It is possible to connect to a dedicated server to receive live race data.
The feature is off by default and must be enabled:
https://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=26.0
Only 1 client can connect to the server.
Communication is made with UDP sockets and strings terminated with "\n".
Send "CONNECT" followed by the connection password ( empty string if no password ).
Reply:
OK -> connected
FULL -> another client is already connected
WRONGPASSWORD -> wrong password
Send "START", followed by two parameter strings to start receiving data.
First parameter: "0" or "1". If set to "1", the track centerline and the track position of the bikes are sent, too.
Second Parameter: "0", "1" or "2". If set to "1", contacts between bikes are sent. If set to "2", then contacts with walls are sent, too.
Data format is "MSG" followed by the message ID and then a stream of strings.
Send "ACK" followed by the message ID after each MSG.
Send "KEEPALIVE" every 15 seconds to keep the connection active.
The server sends "ALIVE" to report that the connection is active.
Send "DISCONNECT" to correctly close the connection.

Thanks, but where I write "connect.....ecc ecc"?? On Chrome, Iexplorer, Safari??
Please, type an example
Thank you, IMT
First post updated to add:
- a parameter to the "START" message, that allows to receive the track centerline and bikes' track position, too
- a link to example source code
- the messages data format
First post updated to add the length to the "SESSION" message.
First post updated:
- added a new parameter to the START command to receive the contact messages
- added the CONTACT message data format
First post updated:
- changed the DRIVERSTATUS and CLASSIFICATION messages data format
