Key Features • Build Instructions • Screenshot • Credits • License

🧮 Key Features

• Reads live telemetry from BeamNG.drive OutGauge.
• Parses speed, RPM, throttle, and other telemetry data.
• Outputs PWM signals to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
• Can drive real gauges, LEDs, or servos.
• Lightweight, runs in real time with minimal CPU usage.

🛠 Build Instructions

This project was developed using Python 3 and pigpio.

To set it up:

1. Clone the repo

  git clone https://github.com/fludar/pi-outgauge.git
 cd pi-outgauge 

2. Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pigpio pigpio

3. Find your Raspberry Pi’s IP address ifconfig

(Look for the IP under wlan0 if using Wi-Fi, or eth0 if using Ethernet.)

4. Start the script python main.py
5. Configure BeamNG OutGauge

• Open BeamNG
• Go to Settings → Other → OutGauge Protocol
• Enable it
• Enter the Raspberry Pi’s IP (from step 3)
• Set the port (default is 4444, unless changed in the script)
