Add a dropdown in configuration page to choose which starting tab to load when launching the program.

Allow another RGB strip to be active on the second LED pin. So you can put a second LED strip in front of the lap timer for everyone to see.

Add a text field to temporarily filter names in the players view. With 100+ players is useful to quickly find names.

Need to add a warning like "NEXT MANCHE" along next round names in the bottom blue bar, if the current round is the last of the manche.

  "- Renew some elements of the interface.\r\n" +

Maybe add a "please use free round" dialog.

Final mode should behave differently

• times should be calculated the same way as normal mode
• first person to complete 3 laps wins, regardless of time

Stuff like the player list and the manches list do not show the 'Track not loaded' message correctly.

It's meaningless to use the Piezo lib for an active buzzer that can only output 1 note. Use this

board.on("ready", function() {

    this.pinMode(3, five.Pin.OUTPUT);
    this.digitalWrite(3, 1);
    this.wait(1500, function() {
        board.digitalWrite(3, 0);
    });
});

Prerequisite: #22

After races are saved each in a different file, we can have a function to switch between active races to allow multiple races to be ran the same day (different categories on the same track)

• Need to add a modal that asks for a race name when creating a new race

• Need a menu that lists races reading the files in the folder

• Maybe have an electron menu with a dropdown with recent files

• Implement a direct file>open function later

• top tag: show 'connecting' at first
• top tag: show 'error' on connection error (board.on('error'))
• on error, show a dialog with the message

If the race is running, pressing the button should stop it. This is to speed up things when all 3 cars go out of track and the lap timer waits a bit before automatically stopping the race.

Check that all 3 lanes sensors are reporting 1 when starting a round. Give a warning if any is not returning 1.

• add a checkbox in configuration page
• it should swap sensor 1 and 3
• it should also reverse direction of LED strip animation

Need to add

• column headers
• sum of 2 best times
• best speed

To reproduce

• load track
• play a free round
• load tournament
• return to race mode, times will not be 0

Take care the behavior of loading an existing race from configuration on app launch is not impacted

Needed because waiting for the time threshold to expire can be long.
When pressed, if some timer is running, it will be set to 99999

Hi Michele, greetings from Mexico.

Is there a way to create a completely offline layout and tournament, or a full version of the mini4wd chrono so as not to depend of the Online editors ???

Thanks in advance.

Add a direct print button next to the XLS export one.

Consider adding a min-height to the 3 column in race mode, and automatically scroll page to bottom when round is started, so the split times are visible without having to scroll manually

Use case: same track can be used on the same day for different categories (stock, expert, top)

• need a function to save a speed value in the setup tab (with a name)
• also a delete button next to each saved one
• in the race tab, need a UI element to switch between presets on the fly (only if more than 1 present)

Check this error and handle it gracefully.
Reset the configuration in this case and display an error?

When on last round of the race, next round button should become "go to semifinal/final" which consists of 3 rounds with the players ranked 4/5/6 and 1/2/3 in that moment.

A confirm dialog should be shown

Use case: during a race, at the end of each round the race data is uploaded on a Google Spreadsheet which is refreshed with new data. All the racers can have access to it to check times and manches in real time.

What's needed

• A Google access token. A new button is needed to call the Google OAuth to get a token with the correct authorization. The token is then stored in the program configuration for reuse.
• A new button to start recording data for the current race. A new spreadsheet is created, and the link to it is displayed in the program. Maybe have a QR code too for easy access for the players.
• After each round the spreadsheet is emptied and refreshed with the new data. Data includes the player view and the manches view (maybe on 2 different sheets?)

Software should detect cars that pass under the lap timer while the start sequence is beeping, and set them to 99.999.

I think running timer is missing some decimals on round numbers, ie.

7.800
7.900
8.0
8.100

Ciao!
Could you link me a laser diode model?
The Link inside the hardware list is expired.
Thanks a lot
Fabrizio.

It might be a good idea to block the user from reloading a new track or tournament if some rounds have been played. It would mess up everything. The user should be forced to use the 'new race' button and reset everything.

use ${} instead of concatenating strings everywhere

Do not show player ID but show incremental positions. 1-2-3 must be a different color, as do 4-5-6. Following should be grey-black.

Hi Michele
I'm attempting a build of the mini4wd chrono for our local club and I have
some questions. I have some basic understanding of electronics, but I need
clarification on the wiring diagram.

1. please confirm - resistors on the green LEDs are 220 ohm

2. the Photo sensor TEMT6000 has 3 connections. In the photos I can see 3
   wires going to it, but on the circuit diagram there are only 2 and it does
   not say where to connect them - OUT, GND or VCC

3. is the resistor for the photo sensor 10K ohm? Is that right for the
   TEMT6000 and which of the 3 connections is it connected to?

4. what are the green LEDs for? I can't see reference to them in the
   documentation. Do they turn on to start the race?

5. I've got the laser diodes. I guess that these are powered the whole
   time. Can I plug these straight into the 5v power pin on the arduino? Do
   I need any resistors inline with these?

thanks for your help.

We're excited to have this running for our races.

thanks

Mark (from New Zealand)

• Race data get saved into a different nconf file instead of the configuration one. This includes tournament, track, times etc
• Race name is asked when user selects 'new race', and json file is saved - {timestamp}.json
• All race files are stored in a subfolder
• On program startup, the latest file is autoloaded
• Makes for future loading function to see old race data
