Re: 2017 Regional Results
I'll have a look into the MSReg side Trav. And ditto what Daniel said, efforts are very much appreciated.

So far, I'm not impressed with the support from Axti.me. It's supposed to be easy, but we're having issues.

Support has been a pretty big issue. The guy who created Axtime is in California and also has a startup that just got funded so that takes up all of his time. When I have been able to get his attention, the support is good. Just not what it needs to be and the documentation is really lacking. |

We are not alone:

So far I've seen two: fsTimer(.org) is custom developed for a charity human race and is too far off from our needs. Then there's this: https://github.com/tahosa/openracer-python Runs on Python, Django, node.js, the first two I'm currently taking a course on. However there is no code to talk to any timing gears as far as I can see.

The problem, is really maintenance/updates/support. Open source would be nice, but there needs to be enough of a community to support it - with all the different timing solutions over the years, they start out great and then the author looses interest (either in advancing the software to run on current hardware, or they don't have the time, or there are too many features added in without a re-write and things get buggy - see axware a year after axtime.me was released.) I honestly think there isn't enough money to be made to make it someone's full time job (dev at the start, but support later once it's feature complete), which is what it needs to do it right. I'd think the best option for making a difference is to offer to help with someone's project that has already started or is in use already. The big problem is testing, as evidenced by my axware experience - you can have the gear all setup in the basement, and it will be flawless, but once you start running cars, and errors happen - that are hard to reproduce, they can really hurt and take away from the event, and are the most important to avoid, so not an easy place to learn when you have 50-100 people standing around when a glitch happens. But don't let all that discourage you, talking to the hardware isn't that complicated, I got some stuff running on an arduino a few moons ago. Look for the race america documentation, it's all there for their displays and timing units. I don't know if you can wireshark a serial connection, but the communication protocols aren't complicated, and shouldn't take much effort to reverse what isn't already documented. The wireless links use zigbee radio's which are open source, so if you wanted to see that side (but doubt it'd be needed) I think it'd be possible too.

Murray pinged me asking to post this link - he's waiting for someone to approve his request to join the forum - its for his software:

Re: 2017 Regional Results
Updated with results from events 5 & 6.
Updated with Pax and Class points - probably FUBAR at this point. The files are called "membership*" you'll figure it out. Please check the following: -Val's points went in to the right class for each event? He drives so many different cars that he has the unique honour of having 2 regional entries in the membership list. What class are you in this year, Val? I'm going to delete the other one. -people's class is right? -people's car description is right? -missing regional entries?

Re: 2017 Regional Results
I now have a crude script that the beams can talk to; the protocol save for one quirk is as documented. Next is figure out how to drive the screen and Live Results. By the way, I can't get Live Results (I downloaded straight from axtime) to run properly on my Linux laptop.
And apparently the $700 Axtime software wants to take beam data and drive the screens all from one serial port. For that a custom splitter is required, although it's not hard to rig up. Still, takes points away from Axtime. And I'm (and Murray?) not the only one who toyed with the idea of rolling our own timing software. Some clubs in the States did this too and from my googling even willing to give it away, but those mentions are from a few years ago and no longer current.
