Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Node module to talk to X-Plane

Module to connect to XPlane over UDP ("legacy connection") as documented in Instructions\X-Plane SPECS from Austin\Exchanging Data with X-Plane.rtfd\TXT.rtf (found in your X-Plane 11 installation).

Does not (yet) support all the functionality of this interface.

Supported right now:

  • CMND (send a command to X-Plane)
  • RREF (request a subscription to the value of a dataref)
  • DREF (change the value of a dataref)

Some code is also in place to support RPOS, however I don't need that at the moment so it's not currently enabled or handled (I played with it and decoding that data worked). Uncomment and add proper support if you need that functionality working.

Note that the documentation isn't very clear on whether big/little endian matters in all of these calls; where I was able to confirm byte order and it's documented that byte order changes I've implemented it so it's currently working on x64. I would presume documentation is lacking on this front and everything is byte-order sensitive, however is there even any big endian platform that X-Plane runs on?

Usage

npm install --save-dev @shiari/xplane-node-udp-client

Then import the XPlaneLegacyClient module into your code and use it.

See https://github.com/Leeft/xplane-websocket-proxy for code that uses this module.

Notes

No documentation beyond this readme, no tests (yet).

This module will not work in a web browser, as these do not support UDP connections. It is for standalone node applications.
