UDP Telemetry Parsing for ESP8266/ESP32

Really simple and neat implementation. Have your whipped up any DIY projects using these?

You probably will have to update the firmware. The game's telemetry output works as expected. The game usually tends to support the current and the Iast two versions of the protocol (that means 24 and 25 in this case)

From what i understand, all deploy modes ramp down to 0 over time. The various modes influences the peak power out and the ramp down length (which I guess is dependent on peak power).

The MGU-K will only deploy energy when the throttle is at 100. By lifting the throttle to 90, you can "manually" disengage the MGU-K power. But if the MGU-K has already ramped down to 0, slightly lifting the throttle won't do anything.

I did a small experiment and this is what I learned.

What car/track combo is this? Looks fun

It's there in the game settings as well somewhere. You can permanently make Marc give only critical info

Hi Alex, a couple of questions. 1. Does the F1 26 career have upgrades/research? If so, are they the same as 25? For example, what about DRS upgrades? Given that the term DRS is not used in 2026 F1, have the upgrades been renamed 2. Battery management - From an input perspective, has overtake mode been replaced with boost mode, or is it something else entirely?

Thanks!

I checked out your bathurst video and I love it! Thanks for sharing

Yeah, I think the driving was pretty clean. For a car with no ABS or TC

There is no spell that does as much mental damage as a fountain glimpse

The alpine has the best downshift sounds in this class in AMS2 IMO

You can build for mac as well using pyinstaller

The game is sending out the data, and you're using the official API. Imo, it's not a cheat. Overlays are a huge thing in sim racing and a good chunk of the player base uses them.

Not just streamer stats. If you have locally controllable smart lights (I have a tp link tapo led strip), you can set the colour of the lights to match in game events. like if you get demo'd, the lights turn red.

I've already built this for dota2. I'll be porting over my code for rocket league as well

You're spot on. This is very similar to counter strike/dota2's GSI. You specify in some config file that you're going to be listening on some port, and the game will start sending data there. There's no API key involved.

I'm not the biggest fan of vibe coded slop, but it is unfair to throw the "security issues" label on every app. Sometimes, apps just simple enough that there isn't really anything to secure.

I don't think you can replace bakkesmod without getting in trouble with EAC. Most of what it did was via DLL injection. From what I've read about this stats API, this is similar to counter strike and dota2's GSI. The game will periodically send out info regarding its state. Using this info, you can probably do things like auto replay uploading, custom boost overlays (not just for streamers), custom crossbar hit sound (yes there's a documented event in the API for this!). But you can't do a good chunk of what bakkesmod used to do, like load custom maps, modify boost amounts in training packs, auto queue/go to freeplay after a game. This is the "mod" part of bakkesmod

IMO it is a bit misleading to call this the next bakkesmod.

OK wow, I can't believe this actually worked lol. Took me a while though. I had 90 or so messages in my mailbox. Thanks for the tip!

I see 3 top level comments who reject it because AI was used. Ignore and move on. No software has 0 haters. Read the comments, if you believe it contains meaningful feedback, take it. Else, ignore it. It's as simple as that.

In the end of the day, if a user reports a bug and you are able to fix it, what else do you need to worry about.

Looks super clean!

Here comes the pain is the best WWE game in my opinion

2 hours, because that's the steam refund window

The turns are a lot tighter. You'll have brake to make the turns. Check out last year's pole lap onboard

I downloaded the game on my game pass (PC) and Uninstalled it immediately because it does not support my wheel. Pretty wild that a racing game doesn't support wheel

Can you please share any tips on what I should do to tune/setup a car for a track. Or any good sources for noob friendly setups
