beampilot!

a openpilot compatiblity layer / bridge / fork that allows it to run on Linux to drive BeamNG.tech cars.

openpilot’s an open source ADAS software by comma.ai that usually runs on a real car’s CAN bus, controlling the EPS/ECU, and on real comma hardware, but I’m making a compatiblity layer that allows openpilot’s models (even the 1B models recently released as chestnut class) to drive beamng.

from my readme, processes changed today:

Processes Changes

Removed

Processes that are incompatible with desktop use or has no use for in desktop simulation have been removed.

• camerad (comma hardware cameras, replaced with beamcamd)
• webcamerad (unused webcam alternative, replaced with beamcamd)
• micd (comma hardware mics, removed as not required)
• dmonitoringmodeld and dmonitoringd (driver monitor, not required for simulation)
  • It is dangerous and against comma requirements to disable driver monitoring in real vehicles.
  • Beampilot is for simulation use ONLY.
• sensord (comma physics data, replaced by beamngd)
• pandad (comma panda CAN data, replaced by beamngd)
• _pandad (pandad backup, replaced by beamngd)
• updated (comma hardware OS updater, removed as not required)
• qcomgpsd (comma hardware GPS, removed as not required)
• ubloxd (comma hardware GPS, removed as not required)
• pigeond (comma hardware GPS, removed as not required)
• modem (comma hardware modem for cellular, removed as not required)

Added

Proccesses that are required because of the removed processes have been added.

• beamngd
  (BeamNG CAN/telemetry updater, uses python BeamNGpy, 100Hz)

• beamcamd
  Updates Cameras (currently just black screen)
