Time Machine - CSV Connector (tmtility) creates a CSV file from time machine input, for scoring software to read
The Time Machine (TM) is a device used to time races. This has a numeric keypad with an Enter button, and a printer. When a runner approaches the finish line, the operator uses the numeric keypad to enter their bib number, and when the runner crosses the finish line, the operator presses Enter to record their time. The position, bib number, and time are printed. If several runners approach the finish, the operator may not know the next who will cross so just hits Enter for each runner to record their times. The position and time are printed.
The Time Machine has a wireless interface which is connected to a laptop via bluetooth. The same information which is displayed on the printer is sent over this interface.
RaceDay Scoring (RDS) is used on the laptop to connect bib numbers to participants, but doesn't have a direct interface to read the bluetooth connection.
Time Machine - CSV Connector (tmtility) reads the bluetooth connection and creates a file which RaceDay Scoring can ingest. It allows editing of result records to correct or add missing bib numbers.
This may work for scoring software other than RDS, but is only tested with RDS.
