sendDATA

Sends X-Plane data.

Syntax

Language	Signature
C	int sendDATA(XPCSocket sock, float data[][9], int rows)
MATLAB	sendDATA(data, socket)
Java	void sendDATA(float[][] data)
Python	sendData(self, data)

Parameters

sock (C): The socket used to send the command.

data: An array of values representing data rows to be set. Each array in data should have 9 elements, the first of which is a row number in the range (0-134), and the rest of which are the values to set for that data row.

rows (C): The number of rows in sendData.

socket (MATLAB): An optional reference to a socket opened with openUDP that should be used to send the command.

Return value

C: A negative value if an error occurs, otherwise 0.

Remarks

This command is compatible with the built in X-Plane data format.

Exceptions

C Error Code	Java Exception	Python Error	Description
-1	IllegalArgumentException	ValueError	The number of rows is not in the range (1-134)

•       |IllegalArgumentException|ValueError  |The size of a row in `data` is not 9
  

-2 |IOException |OSError |The client is unable to send the command

Examples

C

#include "xplaneConnect.h"

XPCSocket sock = aopenUDP("127.0.0.1", 49007);

// Set gear
const int rows = 1;
float data[rows][9] = { 0 };
data[0][0] = 14; // Row # for landing gear
data[0][1] = 1; // Set gear down.

sendDATA(sock, data, rows);

closeUDP(sock);

MATLAB

import XPlaneConnect.*

% Set gear
data = [[14, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]];

sendDATA(data);

Java

import gov.nasa.xpc.XPlaneConnect;

try(XPlaneConnect xpc = new XPlaneConnect())
{
    // Set gear
    float[][] data = new float[1][9];
    data[0][0] = 14; // Row # for landing gear
    data[0][1] = 1; // Set gear down.

    xpc.sendDATA(data);
}

Python

import xpc

with xpc.XPlaneConnect() as client:
    # Set gear
    data = [14, 1, -998, -998, -998, -998, -998, -998, -998]
    client.sendDATA(data)
