Starting Lights Devices
ZRound supports Starting Lights devices. The protocol can be defined and two working modes are availables (master/slave).
Temperature and Humidity data can be sent as well to ZRound by using special commands to be displayed on screen.
Protocol
The protocolo includes the commands START, STOP, GO, LIGHT, HT, HS described below in its default values. The commands can be fully configured in the ZRound Starting Lights configuration page
Slave Mode
In Slave mode, ZRound send the “START” command when the race must be started and “STOP” when the lights must be switched off.
The starting lights must send the “GO” command when the startup procedure has been completed and the race must be started.
ZRound → Device
* START = $START\n * STOP = $STOP\n
Device → ZRound
* GO = $GO\n
Master Mode
When ZRound works in master mode, it controls the countdown and when the lights are switched on/off.
ZRound → Device
* LIGHT = $LIGHT,<n>,<state>\n
where
<n> is the light to be controlled <state> 0 off, 1 on
Temperature / Humidity
The protocol supports sending temp/hum. data in order to be shown on screen. There are available these commands:
* HS = $HS,<n>\n * HT = $HT,<n>\n
where
<n> is the humidity/temperature value
