RTLS - Setting Up RTLS Speed Screen

Setting up Program on RTLS Speed Screen Computer

Note: the computer has to be on the same internal network as the computer running the RTLS program & CS

Dehaardt should setup the hardware and verify everything is communicating (sector beacons, new transponders, etc).


We will need a Dev to map Karts to Transponder numbers (after they are setup on site). Then we will have to have a developer track the coordinates as a track employee walks a transponder around the perimeter of the tracks. We will then have Jared make a good track image. We will then set it as the background (in the ./files folder)

  1. On the Club Speed Server, open DNS
  2. Create a new Forwarder called rtls.clubspeedtiming.com (should look similar to the other cst.com forwarder.
  3. Add a new A host and set it to the internal IP of the computer running the RTLS program we made
  4. On the Computer that is running RTLS program, install Fire Daemon using this  guide
    1. Set Executable to: C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
    2. Working Directory: C:\DeHaardt-RTLS\DeHaardt-RTLS
    3. Parameters: ./src/program.js --connect=enterprise --local=10.10.140.101:80 --remote=10.10.140.101:31345 --api=K1irvine.clubspeedtiming.com --auth=cs-dev
      1. You will have to change some of the prams:
        1. Api = api url for the track using the RTLS
        2. Remote & local = IP running the program (usually the computer you’re setting up).
          • Keep the ports the same
        3. Connect = Enterprise or Sport (usually Enterprise). Sport hasn’t been tested.
    4. Startup: Automatic
  5. On the Computer that is going to run the speed screen do the following to make a Google Chrome link that will launch RTLS in full screen mode.
    1. Right click on any of your Google Chrome icon and select “Properties”
      • Copy the value in the “Target”, it should be something like this:-"C:UserstechiecornerAppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe"
    2. Now Create a shortcut in your Desktop (name it RTLS Kiosk). Right click on Desktop and choose “Create Shortcut”
    3. Paste the value in the “Location of the item” and add “--start- fullscreen http://rtls.clubspeedtiming.com” behind the value. So it should end up like this:-
    4. "C:UserstechiecornerAppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe" --start- fullscreen http://rtls.clubspeedtiming.com
      • Make sure to use http://, https will not work
    5. And, click “Next” till finish
  6. Double click the new shortcut to make sure it opens in full screen showing the rtls program
  7. Open a run shell (click start & search for run)
  8. Enter: ‘shell:startup’ > press enter
    • A folder should open up to a folder called Startup (it should be a longer path)
  9. Make a copy of the new Shortcut you created and paste it in here
    • This will make the website open when the computer restarts
