Hi All

   I know this is a gaming simulator designed to target hardcore gamers who love motogp, and motorcycles in general, however there is another group of individuals that would benefit immensely from this simulator, engineers!  This is a simulator and not just an arcade game, it is designed to simulate/emulate the real world physics of the sport or activity and it seems like it does a really good job!  Engineers would love to use this simulator for SiL (Software in the Loop) and HiL (Hardware in the Loop) simulations to test various types of embedded systems, ie safety systems, control systems, etc. 

  As engineers we are always thinking of ways to automate a process to maximize our efficiency and productivity.  So when we run a HiL or SiL simulation using a simulator like this one we would like to be able to automate this as well and this would be very easy to accomplish if the simulator provided the user with the ability to use a embedded robot to control the vehicle during a race, basically the ability to allow the computer to race for you or the ability to race against the computer.  This may or may not be interesting to gamers but engineers would love it!  Don't get me wrong my guys would love to be in the lab playing video games all day, LOL, but I don't think this is a very productive use of their time at work, LOL.

   As it stands now this is what they have to do when they want to use a simulator like this and run a SiL, or HiL simulation, and it would be really helpful if we did not have to do this.  The computer would perform better, in almost every way and we would get better data faster.  Don't get me wrong I like the game, but I'm not a gamer, haven't played a video game since StreetFighter II Turbo, LOL.  I've been trying to play GPB now for a few days, and I haven't been able to get around the track once without falling several times!  In fact I don't think I've made a complete circle of the track yet, LOL.  You can imagine how frustrating this could be if all you are trying to do is generate live data to test your embedded control systems and algorithms.

   I know its pathetic, PiBoso help us please, LOL!  Just a hopeful suggestion.

Plugins / Output Plugin Data to a COM Port?
March 10, 2016, 03:25:24 PM
Hi All

   I am brand new to this board and this simulator, and based on what I have read about it so far it seems fantastic!  I'd like to know if there is any information out there on how to send the data from the output plugin to a COM port?  I need to be able to create a packet of data, and then transmit that data to a COM port, can some one point me in the right direction?

  Thanks in advance for all of your help.
