Timing System Display on EBay
I'm in the process of mputting together a timing system and have been brainstorming how I want it to work when I came across this on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/GREAT-VORNE-DIGITAL ... dZViewItem
It is a 12 digit 4" display with a built in timer.
$90. +shipping.
I think it would be a bit too much to get it to work alone, but anyone currently using a PC for timing or spreadsheets may want to jump on these. (they're usually ~$900. He has 3.)
If anyone can figure out how to yse it with a Mac, I'd appreciate it....
Otherwise, take it as a skate public announcement. Snatch them up!

Looks like the DC races will soon have a a professional scoreboard.
Vlad, when you figure out the display, e-me. I'd love to see that be able to work alone or interface easily with my iBook. ( I could *probably* figure out a timing app under vbasic or filemaker - I began (and aborted) one a while ago. I'm afraid that it might need input from it's own PC program and I'm no programer.)
He has another one up now, and presumably, the last up a week from now.
I'm not greedy - and this is a great deal for those running races.

Display interfacing
Chronocone has a display interface (program) built in.
You can set the preamble characters to send to the display and then it displays the time and name of the racer.
Unfortunately, the display I got from EBAY is a bit small and not very bright for outdoors....
You can download Chronocone to your computer and see if you can get the display to work with it:

No time to check that now
But we are really interested by any big time display at good price!
