Dog Agility Competition Management

Build status

This repository contains the operating software for controlling various wireless devices (gates, remote controls and LED-displays) at Dog Agility Competition events. The system was demonstrated at the Agility European Open Event in 2013 (video below).

Agility European Open 2013 Demo-Agility-hardware

To facilitate development and testing, an emulator is included to replace the remote controls, time sensors and displays. It enables running without setting up a USB/COM connection to the associated hardware.

CIRCE Protocol

Wireless devices communicate over a CAN bus, whose messages are collected by a mediator device that is connected to a computer. The mediator and computer exchange information through the CIRCE (Computer Interface to Race Course Equipment) protocol.
