  • 1.  JSON Configuration In DataLinq

    Posted 09-29-2022 16:01

    I am working with timing software used for drone racing, the software has the ability to provide a JSON POST notification. The instructions state to an HTTP server. I have zero experience with JSON so there is a lot I don't know. I am attempting to see if I can pull this data in to DataLinq so far no luck. I was hoping if I run XML/JSON TCP in TCP server listing on the correct port I would be to see the POST data, however I don't. Do I need an HTTP server in the middle or a script of some kind to correctly format the data or is there possibly something missing from the JSON POST data I could ask the timing software dev to add that would make this work?

    This is the configuration of timing software


    This is how I have datalinq configured

    Here is the structure of the JSON data that the timing software creating

    It says "Each data transmission should be terminated with a NULL character." Make sure your API is adding this, else Datalinq Server won't process the data.

    Thank you, that's why I posted the sample data, I figured it might be an issue with the way it's formatted. I will reach out to the DEV and ask them if they can all a NULL character.
