SI-Droid Event Lite

Use your phone/tablet to easily readout SICards and arrange simple events.

SI-Droid Event is an app that makes it possible to arrange simple orienteering events with SportIdent without having to bring a computer for the SICard readout. Just bring your mobile phone or tablet instead plus an SI Master and you are ready to readout the results from the runners cards.

The SI Master is connected directly to the device with an USB OTG (On the Go) cable that can be easily found in many electronic or mobile phone stores for less than €10. Here are some examples: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/field-keywords=usb%20otg%20cable.

The app also has support for some serial-to-USB converters if you want to connect to an SI Master with a serial interface.

If you have a Bluetooth receipt printer available, you can also print the split times of the runners when they are being readout. From China/Ebay it is possible to buy a cheap printer for about €50.

NOTE: This Lite version of SI-Droid Event is mostly meant to be used for testing that your device can communicate with the SI Master and that the app is useful to you. The Lite version is identical to the Full version with the following exceptions:

1) It will only allow readout of 10 cards into the same event.

2) It will not be possible to restore a backup of an event.

3) Receipt printing is not possible.
