Welcome to the TTTimer wiki!

This is a simple app for use in time trials. It's very much a prototype at the moment so it's not recommended to use it without some form of backup (in fact, no timekeeper worthy of the name operates without some sort of backup device). You can preview it on the web here or you can download it to an Android device.

Installation

Download to Android from here. You will need to temporarily allow apps from unknown sources. If the QR codes doesn't work, use the download link. (Ultimately the app should be available from Google Play Store.)

Basic Operation

Starting up

• Start the app.
• Click setup.
• Click CLEAR ALL.
• Set the start time. Click SET START TIME.
• Enter the maximum rider number. Click SET NUM RIDERS

Timing an event

• Click TIME when a rider crosses the line
• The recorded time and a list of available rider numbers will be displayed. Click the number of the rider who has just finished. Alternatively, click IGNORE if the timer was pressed and no rider needs to be recorded.
• The rider's calculated time will be displayed
• To correct an error, press the line which shows the time. This will allow to you to: change the rider number, "un-ignore" a time so it can be allocated to a rider, de-allocate the rider so he/she can be allocated to a different recorded time.

Features

• Saves the current data so it's not lost if you close and re-open the app.
• Rider's start time defaults to event start time + rider's number.

Still to do

Lots!

• Handle non-standard start times and time penalties (e.g. handle late starts and reserves)
• Handle gaps in the rider number range
• Get a very accurate time from a built-in GPS device
• Transmit results to HQ (via a website)
• Improve the interface (very rough at the moment)
• Display the battery status
