export.lua recieving asynchron possible?

Hello,

I want to build my own cockpit in near future. I already know how to

export Data from Black Shark to an application via TCP-Sockets.

But for my Cockpit it will be necessary to send data to BS too,

For Switches f.e. .

I tried to use "recv = socket.try(c:recieve("*l"))" to recieve a string

terminated by a linefeed. But BS waits with the hole game until anything

is sent. That's the synchron mode.

Is there any possibility to ask, if there is data waiting in the buffer?

Or better any way to make the connection asynchron? I searched

"lua socket" via google, but I found nothing I can use. And I don't know

wich library BS is using.

Or is there any other way to tell BS it should perform an clickable action?

best regards

I've tried 2 methods. First is to make sure lua has something to receive, if only a line feed, every frame. Second is to configure the receive to time out.

Second method is better.

You need to plow through the threads here. Maybe start at Oakes combined cockpit build thread.

Cheers,

Colin

Okay, thanks. I will have a look at "Oakes thread".
