DESCRIPTION
SR2LoggerPlus is a derivative of SR2Logger by WNP78.
The purpose of this mod is to send data from a Flight Program to an external receiver, or to a text file. This mod adds a part called "Orange Black Box Plus" in the Gizmo section. Once connected to your craft, you can add a Flight Program to the "Orange Black Box Plus." Any variables in that Flight Program starting with log_ will automatically be sent to the UDP receiver, and/or the specified log file. Also, if enabled, any log messages your Flight Program generates will be sent to the receiver and log file.
When using the log file, if you specify a relative path (not starting with a / on mac, or a C:\ on windows), the file will be saved to the location where SimpleRockets2 stores UserData, but you can also specify an absolute path. The directory you specify must already exist. The file name you specify will have the craft id added to it for uniqueness. If the file already exists data will be appended to it. If you prefer to use the UDP service, see the receiver.py script in the GitHub repository.
Note: the "Orange Black Box Plus" part starts out deactivated. It will not begin recording data until it is activated.
This "Orange Black Box Plus" has a few additional capabilities compared to the original "Orange Black Box":
- There is now a part property setting for sampling frequency instead of using a special variable.
- There is now a part property setting to enable logging to a file.
- There is now a part property setting to include all log messages.
- Variable sampling now works in time warp mode (with a scaled frequency).
- A timestamp is now included with each sample.
- The receiver script is now python 2.7 and 3 compatible, and outputs valid yaml documents.
Note: The default UDP port has changed to 2837 to avoid confusion.

thanks, I just realized it does actually log components like I wanted it too, it just didn't work when I was using a vector variable passed through funk, but that's the game's problem. @sflanker

@Hannah1212 should be doable. But I don't have a lot of time to work on this at the moment. Contributions welcome: https://github.com/sflanker/SR2Logger

This is really nice, I got the python receiver working and I'm planning on using it to make some graphs. But one question, for variables that are vectors it seems to just take the length, is there a way to make it not do that or no? If not I'll just log the components individually.

Would it be possible to build a external map based off of raw trajectory data from the Orange Black Box

@thenewme I'm sorry to hear it's not going well. Are you trying to learn coding for writing mods (i.e. C#/Unity) or Vizzy? Let me know if there are any specific challenges you are struggling with. You can also try asking questions on the SimpleRockets Chat Discord.

Hello. Would it be possible to have a video explaining how to set this up. I'm kinda really finding it difficult to do so. Thanks. Love your work by the way.

I've asked for something like this months ago, this a great tool, not just for accidents analysis lol but if I can put to spreadsheet then I can use equations for analysing things like atmospheric drag, fuel consumption efficacy and much more that I won't know until I start using this tool. Thanks a lot flanker

I had trouble outputing the log, before figuring out the orange black box start deactivated ^_^
Yes I'm dumb, but if your craft don't output the file, make sure you activate the orange box inflight. -
Is there a way to read from log files to vizzy?
I was hopping to log information and then display it later on mfds on another craft
