Mission Telemetry Tracker

[AndyHC]

Hi,

I was playing around with KSP and was impressed by the plugin capabilities of the software. I wondered if it was possible to 'downlink' telemetry data from the spaceship to an external program. It turns out that it is!

Here is a very rough Proof Of Concept video for your entertainment. You\'ll probably have to go to at least 720 quality to see all the details.

Let me know if you\'d like me to continue to work on this - if there is enough demand I\'ll make it my next project

Cheers,

Andy.

Oh well, it was an interesting way to learn a few things I didn\'t know about WPF programming. I did do a search before I posted, but obviously used the wrong keywords... ???

I have to admit. 'Elderberry Ni' doesn\'t exactly clue you in on it\'s purpose.

Remember when searching that it only searches the forum you\'re in along with any subforums. So if you want to search all the forums, make sure your at the top. If you only want to search for add-ons, drop into that subforum and start your search there.

Cheers!

Does that have to stop you? There is also the 'ISA RAM' cartography module plus a few descendants providing a somewhat specialized form of telemetry, and I think there are a few other telemetry modules out there whose creators have not (yet?) found the courage (or desire) to publish them...

Sounds like me. Well, almost. I got bored and gave up halfway through. I even had the receiving application functioning. Maybe I\'ll take it back up.
