PIDflight Lap Timing cross-platform GUI

PIDflight Lap GUI

PIDflight Lap is a video transmitter (VTx) lap timing solution for individual pilots and multi-pilot support for race meets of up to 8 pilots.

PIDflight Lap GUI is a crossplatform tool for the PIDflight lap timing devices.

It runs as an app within Google Chrome and allows you to configure and run PIDflight Lap timing devices.

There are also standalone versions available for native platforms such as Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• Windows (7, 8, 10): pidflight-lap-installer_[VERSION]_win32.exe
• macOS: pidflight-lap_[VERSION]_macOS.dmg
• Linux:
  • Ubuntu, Debian: pidflight-lap_[VERSION]_amd64.deb
  • Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS: pidflight-lap-[VERSION]-1.x86_64.rpm
  • Others: pidflight-lap_[VERSION]_linux64.zip

Downloads are available in Releases

Native app build via NW.js

Development

1. Install node.js (version 10 required)
2. Install yarn: npm install yarn -g
3. Change to project folder and run yarn install.
4. Run yarn start.

App build and release

The tasks are defined in gulpfile.js and can be run with through yarn:

yarn gulp <taskname> [[platform] [platform] ...]

List of possible values of <task-name>:

• dist copies all the JS and CSS files in the ./dist folder.
• apps builds the apps in the ./apps folder [1].
• debug builds debug version of the apps in the ./debug folder [1].
• release zips up the apps into individual archives in the ./release folder [1].

[1] Running this task on macOS or Linux requires Wine, since it's needed to set the icon for the Windows app (build for specific platform to avoid errors).

Build or release app for one specific platform

To build or release only for one specific platform you can append the plaform after the task-name. If no platform is provided, all the platforms will be done in sequence.

• macOS use yarn gulp <task-name> --osx64
• Linux use yarn gulp <task-name> --linux64
• Windows use yarn gulp <task-name> --win32
• ChromeOS use yarn gulp <task-name> --chromeos

You can also use multiple platforms e.g. yarn gulp <taskname> --osx64 --linux64.

Support

PIDflight Lap firmware and cross-platform GUI is provided free of charge to all users.
