DeHaardt + MyLaps Automated Speed Control Setup

DeHaardt + MyLaps Automated Speed Control Setup

This article will go over all of the steps needed to setup automated speed controls for dehaardt and mylaps together.


Hardware Required: 

1x Mylaps timing system

1x Dehaardt Blackbox

Dehaardt Shutdown Transponders

Working Location : GRGPByronCenter


Note* As of now, the automated speed control only shuts down the karts at the end of the race once the race has completely finished. There is currently no way to shut down the karts individually once they have completed their final lap.

Step 1: Setup Dehaardt Blackbox


You can follow the article here: https://support.clubspeed.com/a/solutions/articles/47001159893


Note* Skip step 8 on the article above. Instead, you will need to add the new dehaardt loopID to the PenaltyBoxLoopID Column


 

Step 2: Verify Kart Type


// DBO.ControlPanel > EnergyKartType: 1 for Fuel Karts, 2 for Electric Karts 

  • This setting restricts the functionality to either an electric or combustion, they can not be configured simultaneously

Step 3: DBO.TimingLoops


// Confirm a separate LoopID is created for each Sector. IE: Second Loop, Third Loop



Step 4: Turn Off Timing via telnet


  1. Open a CMD terminal and start a telnet session to the Dehaardt Black box IP address.   Follow the example below.
  2. Once completed, close the session, then restart the main engine.

Step 5: Change Black Box Setting


  1. Enter the blackbox IP into a web browser
  2. Navigate to the setup tab
  3. Ensure that mode is set to "accesspoint"




Step 6: Speed Limit Settings


// You will need to walk the customer through the /sp_admin settings, and relay any limitations. TEST TEST TEST!

>>> CUSTOMER FACING ARTICLE


1. Navigate to sp_admin>>settings>>advanced settings>>Speed Limit Settings.


2. Create speed options that the customer would like to utilize. Note: there are predefined limitations.




3. Navigate to sp_admin>>settings>>advanced settings>>Speed Control Settings. 

   The system will provide a list of potential tracks that have De Haardt Timer Controls.

 


4. Making changes. Update the speed control setting as need be using the following image as an example.  

 


*Note 

  • Make sure the Loop is set correctly to the start and end of the race.
  • At the end of the race if you want to immediately shut down the karts you will need to set the duration to "1" instead of "0". Otherwise, it will let them do another full lap before shutting down.

5. Go into their SQL database and check their SpeedLimitSettings table. It may look something like this:

CHECK ON THESE SETTINGS AS STAGGERED SLOW DOWN WILL NOT WORK IF THEY ARE MISCONFIGURED AND SP_ADMIN CAN SOMETIMES MISCONFIGURE SPEEDLIMITSETTINGS!!!

  • SpeedLimitEventID references the SpeedLimitEvent table; 1 = start loop (crossing loop for the first time), 2 = end loop (crossing loop for the final time).
  • SendIndividually should be set to True if that rule should only apply to a kart as it crosses the loop. Or set it to False if the rule should apply to all karts (race is finished or starting the karts).
  • LoopId should be set to 1 if the rule will be applied when a kart passes the start/finish loop. LoopId must be NULL if the SendIndividually is False.

6. Go into ControlPanel and set 'EnableStaggeredSlowdown' to True, then check the 'RaceByLapTOMode' and 'RaceByTimeUKMode' and make sure they are set accordingly to the Location's needs. 

    NOTE: If 'RaceByLapTOMode' is set to '0' then Automated Speed Controls will be disabled for lap-based races. And if 'RaceByTimeUKMode' is set to False, Automated Speed Controls will be disabled for time-based races. 



7. Once changes have been made and the save button has been selected followed by Main Engine being restarted, the rule should now be active.  


After completing these steps the automated speed control should now be working. If you run into any issues please contact management for assistance.
