```
Cross Platform device manager for driving and flight simulators, for use with common simulator software titles.
## Features
- Updates at 120 frames per seconds.
- Modular design for support with various titles and devices.
- Supports bass shakers, tachometers, simlights, simwind etc, through usb and arduino serial.
- Tachometer support is currently limited to the Revburner model. Supports existing revburner xml configuration files.
- Includes utility to configure revburner tachometer
- Can send data to any serial device. So far only tested with arduino. Includes sample arduino sketch for sim lights.
- The support for haptic bass shakers is limited and needs the most work. So far the engine rev is a simple sine wave, which I find convincing. The gear shift event works but not convincing enough for me.
## Dependencies
- libserialport - arduino serial devices
- hidapi - usb hid devices
- libusb - used by hidapi
- portaudio - sound devices (haptic bass shakers)
- libenet - UDP support (not yet implemented)
- libxml2
- argtable2
- libconfig
- [slog](https://github.com/kala13x/slog) (static)
- [wine-linux-shm-adapter](https://github.com/spacefreak18/simshmbridge) - for sims that need shared memory mapping like AC.
- [simapi](https://github.com/spacefreak18/simapi)
## Building
This code depends on the shared memory data headers in the simapi [repo](https://github.com/spacefreak18/simapi). When pulling lastest if the submodule does not download run:
```
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
Then to compile simply:
```
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make
```
### A note about GitHub's ssh cloning policy
if you do not have an ssh key set up in you environment that is registered to a GitHub account, Microsoft will decline the clone request and you'll see a permission error like this:
```
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
```
to get around this, first clone the repository over https, then modify the `.gitmodules` file locally such that ssh urls are replaced with https urls.
You can then continue on to sync and update submodules.
```
git clone https://github.com/Spacefreak18/monocoque
cd monocoque
# vim .gitmodules
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
## Testing
### Setting up Your Arduino Device
### Static Analysis
```
mkdir build; cd build
make clean
cmake -Danalyze=on ..
make
```
### Valgrind
```
cd build
valgrind -v --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --suppressions=../.valgrindrc ./monocoque play
```
## ToDo
- windows port
- more memory testing
- move config code around
- cleanup tests which are basically just copies of the example from their respective projects
- much, much more
