F1 2021 - The Official Video Game from Codemasters

A tool for forwarding the UDP telemetry data from the simulator game F1 2021 to InfluxDB for display via any graphing application.

UDP Specification

Data Storage

Is done by InfluxDB which is a great time series database. See Docker Hub.

docker pull quay.io/influxdb/influxdb:latest

Graphing Using Grafana

You can use Grafana to connect to InfluxDB. See - https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/docker/

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana

Connection to InfluxDB

Connecting to InfluxDB 2 requires Grafana 7.1 and above.

Refresh Rate

To enable sub second updates, alter the following in /etc/grafana/grafana.ini

#################################### Dashboards History ##################
[dashboards]
# Number dashboard versions to keep (per dashboard). Default: 20, Minimum: 1
;versions_to_keep = 20
min_refresh_interval = 100ms

Next add the refresh rate as an option in the dashboard setting, otherwise you won't be able to select it.
