# metarace-ttstart
Time trial start console application. Includes time of day,
rider number, rider name, a 30 second count-down and audible
start beeps.
For battery operated terminals, the screen can be set to dim
in between starters.
## Configuration
Configuration is via metarace sysconf section 'ttstart' with the
following keys:
key | (type) description [default]
--- | ---
topic | (string) telegraph topic for start list updates [startlist]
fullscreen | (boolean) run application fullscreen after initialisation
backlightdev | (string) sysfs path to backlight device [null] (1) eg: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
backlightlow | (float) dimmed backlight level between starters [0.25]
backlighthigh | (float) backlight level during countdown [1.0]
startlist | (string) filename for a csv startlist file [startlist.csv]
syncthresh | (float) maximum allowed audio de-sync in seconds [0.12] (2)
Notes:
1. The backlight brightness file must be writable in order
for dimming to work
2. The acoustic start signal is terminated if it is not playing
in sync with the displayed countdown.
## Remote Control
ttstart connects to telegraph and subscribes to the topic nominated.
To re-configure the start list, publish a JSON encoded array of arrays
with the following columns:
- start time (string), required
- rider number (string), optional
- rider series (string), ignored
- rider name (string), optional
For example:
[["9h15:00","","","[Event Start]"], ["9h16:00","1","","First RIDER"]]
## Requirements
- Python >= 3.11
- Gtk >= 3.0
- metarace >= 2.1.14
- tex-gyre fonts
- gstreamer alsa plugins
Note: Some 32 bit systems (notably Intel Atom Toughbooks) will not
play audio with the default Debian desktop installation.
The workaround is to remove pulseaudio and use alsa directly:
$ sudo apt remove 'pulseaudio*'
## Installation
Use shared installer from metarace to collect requirements
and install with roadmeet and trackmeet:
$ wget https://github.com/ndf-zz/metarace/raw/refs/heads/main/metarace-install.sh
$ sh metarace-install.sh
Alternatively, install system requirements and use pip:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-venv python3-pip python3-cairo \
python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 \
gir1.2-pango-1.0 gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer1.0-alsa tex-gyre
$ mkdir -p ~/Documents/metarace
$ python3 -m venv --system-site-packages ~/Documents/metarace/venv
$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/pip install metarace-ttstart
$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/ttstart
