Testing your Driver in Tulip Player

By default, Tulip Player runs with built-in drivers that work out of the box. However, you can also run your custom driver locally in Tulip Player, even without a Tulip instance. To do this, you can launch Player from the command line with the path to your driver's dist directory. Download and install Tulip Player from here.

On Windows, this is done by using the set command in the terminal to set the TULIP_PLAYER_CUSTOM_DRIVERS_PATH environment variable, then running the "Tulip Player.exe" from the same terminal:

C:\Users\Bob> set "TULIP_PLAYER_CUSTOM_DRIVERS_PATH=C:\Users\Bob\Documents\esp32-diy-sensor\dist"
C:\Users\Bob> "C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\tulip-player-desktop\Tulip Player.exe"

Once player starts, open Browser Developer Tools in the Player app and go to the Console tab.

Filter messages with "[CED]" to see your driver logs.

If successful, you should see "data" events logging temperature and humidity values in real time.
