How to set up Data Studio for Yakkertech Integration?

Venus Control Suite Local (VCS LOCAL) and an applicable subscription/plan that includes Data Studio are requirements for this integration. If you do not have  VCS LOCAL, please contact your Daktronics Applications Engineer or Account Manager.

Below are example instructions to get you started. Please get in touch with Yakkertech for the proper URL with attributes along with the authentication credentials. 

1. Open Data Studio
2. Select Add to create a new source
   1. Name: Yakkertech SOP
   2. Address: http://<local-yakkertech-address>/api/most-recent-pitch?format=json&max-age-seconds=5&sig-figs=1&min-release-speed=75&missing-text=
      1. Additional query explanations are below setup steps
   3. Additional Configurations: Username and Password are provided by Yakkertech
   4. Refresh Interval: 0.2 to refresh about every second
   5. Format: JSON
3. Select Next
4. Data Trimming - select all fields from your query you'd like to track
5. Select Save
6. Build out content using newly created Yakkertech SOP profile in Content Studio

Query Definitions:

Keep in mind this endpoint still required basic HTTP auth.
In the case of no recent data, the returned JSON would look like:

• {"RelSpeedMPH": "", "ZoneSpeedMPH": "", "SpinRateRPM": "", "Tilt": "", "SpinAxisDegrees": ""}

Where as when there is recent data, it would look like this

• {"RelSpeedMPH": "88.6", "ZoneSpeedMPH": "80.6", "SpinRateRPM": "2396.9", "Tilt": "10:45", "SpinAxisDegrees": "144.0"}

In the current iteration it is possible to have only RelSpeedMPH or ZoneSpeedMPH show up (as the system is waiting for high accuracy).

• format: allowed values are json or xml

• max-age-seconds: allowed values are integers, determines when the data is cleared

• sig-figs: allowed values are integers, determines how many sig figs the output is formatted to

• min-release-speed-mph: minimum release speed for the event to show up on the endpoint, events slower than this will not register

• missing-text: allowed values are strings, determines what value is injected into the payload for the case where no data is available. The example shows it being set to the empty string, but default behavior (not setting this parameter at all) would inject a null instead

In order not to use the defaults it's suggested to pick reasonable values for all of these parameters as seen in the sample query.
