No Comments on Transponder Exchange Program

As we near the 5 year mark for the incorporation of the MyLaps timing system, some of the transponders batteries may be starting to lose their charge. The club has found a company that refurbishes the batteries in the transponders and we have tested them with success.

As a result, the club will be offering a transponder exchange program where members can exchange a transponder that is no longer working, or near failing, for a refurbished one.

Refurbished transponders will be $45.00ea and are offered as a swap – that is, members must relinquish their old transponder in order to receive a refurbished one.

There will be an option to purchase refurbished transponders when you register for races and we will also be selling them at races, although correct change will be required as the club carries limited funds on the day.

All refurbished transponders will come with a 12 month warranty on the battery.

The company the club is using is Transponder Services – if members wish to arrange the repair of their own transponders, feel free to contact them directly.

MyLaps Live Results app

Some of you may have noticed that we have been testing and implementing some new ideas for races. One of these features is the new MyLaps app. The app will enable users to log into the local wireless timing network “AMBC Timing” and receive results from the timing system.

The app gives basic data for each competitor such as –

Overall placing
Race number
Place in class
Class
“Driver” aka name or team name
Number of completed laps

plus a few other features that are dependent on screen size and orientation. The attached picture is an example of the app running on my Asus Transformer tablet.

MyLaps charge $0.99 for the app on the

Google Play store

Apple iStore

If you’d like to see the app in action before you make the big leap, see P’An-Tau (The Timekeeper) on race day for a live demonstration.To confirm the IP address to enter into the app, see the Timekeeper on race day – it will usually be 192.168.2.3 though.
