kummstep, could you please open a new bug for your issue? It'd be useful if you could provide details on what kind of timer, whether you were using derby-timer.jar or...

Thank you for this. I may have been overthinking this, worrying a lot about preventing unsupervised kids from stuffing the ballot box. A solution that assumes adult supervision to prevent...

I don't think I've encountered one of these timers before, but I expect support could be added with a little experimentation. Are you able to get the existing software working...

That's interesting, but how the sensors actually work doesn't really affect the interface. What we'd need to figure out is what bytes get sent over the serial interface when a...

If you have one of these timers at your disposal, it'd be super useful to be able to observe what data it sends back when racers cross the finish line....

Hyperterm to start, but we'd probably need some back and forth communication, and maybe have you try some early prototypes. Please email me directly (address is at https://github.com/jeffpiazza) when you...

I take your point that there are devices for conveying serial streams over TCP, but I'm not sure I understand what benefit this offers. Certainly TCP can relayed over longer...

I think this speaks to how the pi might be able to view a serial-over-tcp stream as a virtual serial device, which would then work with DerbyNet without special support:...

This idea (sometimes called "Lane Rotation") comes up every so often. I have to admit I'm not a big fan. It makes things easier on the race crew (or the...

Sorry about that -- the length of recording isn't presently adjustable, as you observed. The currently-fixed duration of 4 seconds would have accommodated most tracks that I can think of....
