Sends ED status updates via serial port
The monitor will watch the log files written by Elite Dangerous and write the relevant information through Serial to custom controllers or other devices.
Like most Go projects, building is simple:
go get
go build
First, set up the configuration file. Either copy/rename config-sample.json to config.json and fill in the values appropriately, or use the interactive config by running edca.exe configure. The interactive config will prompt for the config values and will look like this:
# Device ID Max Baud Rate Description
1 USB\VID_4321&PID_0001\1 115200 Communications Port
Enter selection or c to cancel: 1
Enter baud rate: 115200
Default logs folder: C:/Users/MyUser/Saved Games/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous
Enter a different one, or press enter to use the above:
Wrote config to config.json
The service will now be ready to be installed with edca.exe install. Once it's installed, it can be stopped/started either from the Windows Services app or through the command line with edca.exe [start|stop].
