I am doing a research project that involves linking real time data coming from
the Kauai Labs NavX and a "Digital Twin" in Unreal Engine.
I have been looking for an interprocess communications mechanism
to speak between the two worlds with the least amount of development
and might have a decent lifecycle if I can get the two to work together.
My first thought was MQTT, which I've already tried on the VMXpi/Java
side, but the support is weak on the UE side.
I found another option using Websockets with JSON, but figured I would post
here to see if anyone knows of a wpilib/Java friendly interface for wpilib.
The simplest approach would be to open a socket between the two, and
send one way messages for now.
I'm definitely not there yet, but I have found someone in the wpilib world
who has been using Websockets and what looks like a solid API.
