Golang implementation of iRacing SDK
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
- Execute
go get github.com/gu3st/iracing-sdk
Simplest example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/gu3st/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/gu3st/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
package main
import (
"os"
"log"
"github.com/gu3st/iracing-sdk"
)
func main(){
var sdk irsdk.IRSDK
reader, err := os.Open("data.ibt")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
sdk = irsdk.Init(reader)
defer sdk.Close()
}
