Is there any app that would show the time of the last 10 laps or so? I know gt7 already shows this, but not in VR, I'd like to display it in my streams.
 
present I'm using EZIODASH Pro as main dash board. And I love the motivation from the box … 😇😊
additional a Android tablet with PRO Sim Dashboard on the side for more information with a little bit bigger letters for my old eyes 🤪

But I like to test @chrshdl solution also 😍
PI4 and a dashboard display 14,5" are on board … I'm curios

Thanks to all developers .. great job 👍🥰
 
Hi everyone, got some exciting news.

There may be a new packet type. Sending heartbeat C yields a 368 byte response (24 bytes more than the most recent "~" packet).

This is a very recent addition, I'll be working over the next few days to see what's been added/changed.
 

I've already found some of the new datapoints, you can see further technical details here. ^

The current stuff I've found is:
Surface Type Indicator (what kind of surface your tyre is in contact with, such as tarmac, dirt etc)
Current Laptime (!!!) (You can now see your exact current lap time, finally.)
Category Type (Which car category you are currently driving)

I'm going to do some more research in the morning, the other fields appear to be harder to decode for me at least.

Did we get only total lap time, or sectors as well?

Only lap-time right now, I don’t see how that would be implemented easily (as there are only 12 bytes left to find out the meaning of, and some tracks have multiple sectors). It looks the last 4 bytes of the 12 bytes sequence is tied to the steering or some kind of yaw. Not really sure as of right now though.

You can now test out my current findings using my library for ESP32/ESP8266 devices.

Yeah I was able to read the new data by looking at your code, thank you!

I don't have a Github account so I'm posting here:

There are more values for the SurfaceType that you guys haven't mapped. Right now I'm in a sandbank and the game is returning me 'S'. It also returns 'G' for the grass.

Hi, sure feel free to test it https://github.com/chrshdl/instrument-cluster

The system currently supports only the Raspberry Pi 2 display.
