Hi timing goeroes,
I try to build a interface between de Microgate Racetime2 and a computer (or a micro computer as Raspberry or Arduino) for livetiming, but it is quite difficult to understand the protocol that is broadcasted by the Racetime2. We analyzed the signal, but different from the Alge protocol, this signal is not so easy to analyze. Does anyone have experience on this? Are there people who already had made a interface themselves? Commercial programs are to expensive for our small Skiteam.
If anyone have built an open source interface that is able to read/understand the signal that is send to an Alge Display, that also can help, because we now use the output of the Racetime to display the times on a Alge display.
Any suggestions about these protocols or where to find other hobbyists who are building their own accessories or software for Alge or Microgate, please respond, also when this message is already outdated.
