Powertrain Sensor

BeamNG.tech sensor that exposes detailed powertrain state data — engine RPM, torques, temperatures, gear ratios, and clutch states. Designed for external tools that need high-fidelity drivetrain telemetry.

State Fields

FieldTypeDescription
typestringModule type ('auxiliary').

Public API

FunctionDescription
getSensorData()returns the accumulated readings and current polling timer status.
incrementTimer(dtSim)Advances the internal timer used to track the GFX polling window.

Hooks

HookDescription
init(data)Initializes the sensor instance and prepares data buffers for physics-step collection.
update(dtSim)High-frequency physics loop. Scans every powertrain device for AV, torque, ratio, and breakage status, time-stamping each sample.
module.reset()Resets the controller to its initial state.

MQTT Output Controller

Publishes vehicle telemetry data to an MQTT broker for external consumption. Enables real-time data streaming to external applications, dashboards, or co-simulation systems via the MQTT protocol.

Data Recorders

Built-in data recording system that captures vehicle state at configurable intervals. Records timestamped telemetry (position, speed, inputs, powertrain state) to files for post-processing analysis.
