Hi

Just found this site via tassie mini z. Looks awesome! Is there any chance of adding LapMonitor support?

I would love to add Lap Monitor support - unfortunately Lap Monitor does not provide and API docs on how it works. I have spoken to another timing application and they have the same issue. I was tempted to get one to experiment with but they are a bit out of the budget 😅

that is a shame. if you look on their website, there is a .exe you can download that will let the decice connect to a pc and translates it to mylaps (i believe). Could that help?

Not easy to find on the site, it is quite buried but here is the link.

I have seen that executable - unfortunately because this is webbased I cannot connect to a PC app (Browser Security restrictions). I may look into creating a shim that goes to RC-Clubs... I'll have a look but there is a range of latency issues that may be a problem :(

What a shame. Would you sat the new SkyRc LapWiz would be in the same boat?

Re: Lapwiz: I don't know? I have reached out to them to ask if there is an API - I have not heard back yet. I am hoping to get one when they are released here to test with as they are significantly cheaper here than LapMonitor (1/3 of te price I think).

Most clubs I work with are using Easylaps. The setup is more expensive but the transponders are cheap ($20 on AliExpress)

yes i do have one. Not sure Easylaps have anything to suit outdoor offroad? Not really looked into them. LapMonitor is cheap.

Do you mind if we can move to email, messenger or discord? I'm looking at a solution for you
