Changing systems #47

Open NewcastleTriClub opened 12 months ago

hey everyone (and thanks @segfaultcoredump ) thinking about changing from a paid system to this (on a recommendation!)

our current IPICO timing system spits out a txt file. is Pika Timer suitable for handling this type of data file?

thanks

What is the format of the IPICO txt file?

For example, does it kick out a chip number followed by a date / time stamp, and if so, what is the format of the timestamp?

If you paste a few lines of a sample file I can probably tweak the existing file based reader to consume it.

Hi @segfaultcoredump if you are about to that, can I maybe ask you to something similar for an Impinj RFID Reader? Will be greatly appreciated, as my knowledge of coding is very limited and I really do like the pikatimer results format and would rather use that than some of the other timing application results options. Below is a sample of a Impinj Reader reads output:

@ChainGangEvents,

That looks like a comma separated list of the chip ID and then a localized timestamp. The tricky part will be if that chip id is in decimal or hex and then how it lines up with the chip -> bib mapping setup on the system. Not too difficult, it just adds a wrinkle to the mix.

I also have a direct Impinj / LLRP integration in my todo list for the next version.

Now I just need to find time to do it between the day job and a few side gigs I have.

@segfaultcoredump you will become an instant "Hero" if you manage the above, especially if do the direct Impinj / LLRP integration. Maybe the following code might be of assistance: https://github.com/esitarski/pyllrp
