A Python Client for the NoLimits 2 Telemetry Server

A simple implementation of a telemetry client for communication with the telemetry server of NoLimits 2 - Roller Coaster Simulation.

Usage

A Minimal Example

Launch NoLimits with the --telemetry option and execute on the same machine:

from pprint import pprint

from nl2telemetry import NoLimits2
from nl2telemetry.message import get_telemetry, Answer

with NoLimits2() as nl2:
    nl2.send(get_telemetry)
    data = Answer.get_data(nl2.receive())
    pprint(data.__dict__)

Requirements

• NoLimits 2 - Roller Coaster Simulation (tested with 2.5.6.0)
• Python 3 (developed in 3.7, confirmed to work with at least 3.5.2)

Features

• All messages available in NoLimits 2.5.6.0 Standard and Professional are implemented as IDE friendly classes.
• Simple demonstration applications.

  • The Minimal example.

  • Live plotting of G-Forces (uses matplotlib).

    

  • Logging of G-Forces as CSV data.

  • A Station Control Panel.

    

Limitations

• No messages that require the Attraction License of NoLimits 2 are implemented.
• No efforts have been made to ensure or even test parallel execution capability or stability.
