granturismo 0.1.2

Get Grand Turismo telemetry data from the PlayStation console

GranTurismo

This package wraps the Gran Turismo 7's unofficial telemetry API. By providing this module with you're PlayStation's IP address (as found in the menu) you will be able to retrieve packets containing telemetry data.

Usage

The main function is the Listener, which is a closing object. You can use a with Listener(ip_address) as ... clause to open and close the listener. The Listener will spin up a background thread to maintain a heartbeat connection with the PlayStation, so it's important to always close the object.

Quickstart example

Grab a single packet from GranTurismo and print it.
You can run this by calling python3 examples/quickstart.py <your PS's IP address>

from granturismo import Feed 
import sys

if __name__ == '__main__':
  ip_address = sys.argv[1] # IP address to the PlayStation
  
  # Create a new Listener session and print the first packet that Gran Turismo sends.
  with Feed(ip_address) as feed:
    print(feed.get())

Streaming suspension data to the console

Stream all incoming data from Gran Turismo and print it to the terminal
You can run this by calling python3 examples/stream_suspension.py <your PS's IP address>

from granturismo import Feed 
from granturismo.model import Wheels
import datetime as dt
import time, sys
import curses

stdscr = curses.initscr()

# This function is used to rewrite multiple lines on the terminal
def report_suspension(wheels: Wheels) -> None:
  curr_time = dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.time()).isoformat()
  stdscr.addstr(0, 0, f'[{curr_time}] Suspension Height')
  stdscr.addstr(1, 0, f'\t{wheels.front_left.suspension_height:.3f}    {wheels.front_right.suspension_height:.3f}')
  stdscr.addstr(2, 0, f'\t{wheels.rear_left.suspension_height:.3f}    {wheels.rear_right.suspension_height:.3f}')
  stdscr.refresh()

if __name__ == '__main__':
  ip_address = sys.argv[1]

  # To use the Listener session without a `with` clause, you'll need to call the `.start()` function. 
  feed = Feed(ip_address)
  feed.start()

  try:
    while True:
      # get the latest packet from PlayStation
      packet = feed.get()

      # If the game isn't paused or in a loading state, we'll update the terminal with the latest suspension info.
      if not packet.flags.loading_or_processing and not packet.flags.paused:
        report_suspension(packet.wheels)
  finally:
    # If you don't use a `with` clause, then you'll need to close the session afterwords. Session will also successfully close with CTRL+C
    curses.echo()
    curses.nocbreak()
    curses.endwin()
    feed.close()

Streaming position data directly to a plot

Stream the car's position directly to a plot window. Here we'll plot the x and z axis, which track the horizontal plane. We also add a "heatmap" color to the plot to show the car's speed compared to it's max potential speed.
You can run this by calling python3 examples/stream_position.py <your PS's IP address>

import sys
from granturismo import Feed
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

if __name__ == '__main__':
  ip_address = sys.argv[1]

  # setup the plot styling
  plt.ion() # allows us to continue to update the plot
  fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 8))
  ax.axis('off') # hides the black border around the axis.
  plt.xticks([])
  plt.yticks([])

  # this will be the previous x and z points. We don't want to re-plot all our points because 
  # that'll be too slow and the graph cant keep up with our stream. We're only gonna plot the newest segment.
  px, pz = None, None

  count = 0
  with Feed(ip_address) as feed:
    while True:
      count += 1
      # only update graph every 10th of a second just cuz it doesn't matter for us, and it's easier on the computer
      # but we still need to grab the packet even if we're not using it
      packet = feed.get()

      # note, we're negating z so the map will appear int he same orientation as it does in the game's minimap
      x, z = packet.position.x, -packet.position.z
      if px is None:
        px, pz = x, z
        continue

      # here we're getting the ratio of how fast the car's going compared to it's max speed.
      # we're multiplying by 3 to boost the colorization range.
      speed = min(1, packet.car_speed / packet.car_max_speed) * 3
      # Now use the "speed" ratio to select the color from the Matplotlib pallet
      color = plt.cm.plasma(speed)

      # plot the current step
      plt.plot([px, x], [pz,  z], color=color)

      # set the aspect ratios to be equal for x/z axis, this way the map doesn't look skewed
      plt.gca().set_aspect('equal', adjustable='box')

      # pause for a freakishly shot amount of time. We need a pause so that it'll trigger a graph update
      plt.pause(0.00000000000000000001)

      # set the previous (x, z) to the current (x, z)
      px, pz = x, z
