dcspy 1.0.0

Software for integrating DCS: F/A-18C, F-16C and Ka-50 with Logitech G13

dcspy

DCSpy is able to pull information from DCS aircraft and display on Logitech G-series keyboards LCD. Developed for Logitech G13. Should also work with any other Logitech device with 160x43 px monochrome display, like G15 (v1 and v2) and G510. There is possibility to modify this package to use full RGBA LCD of Logitech G19 (size 320x240) - please open issue.

This project has been heavily inspired by specelUFC, and I want to thank specel, the author of that project for his work and the inspiring ideas. This software uses:

• DCS-BIOS fork by DCSFlightpanels for exporting data from DCS to local network
• jboecker's parser to read data stream from DCS-BIOS

You can drag and drop dcspy.exe to desktop and make shortcut (with custom icon). After successful connect attempt, G13 display should update.

New ideas

I have lots of plans and new ideas how to improve it internally and form user's perspective, but don't hesitate to contact me. Maybe it will motivate me to implement some new stuff. Please open issue if you find bug or have any crazy idea.
