TeamCast
· v1.0.0
About
TeamCast displays the current race situation on your Edge. The data
arrives over Bluetooth Low Energy from a dedicated GPS tracker
mounted on the bike. Without that hardware the data field stays
empty – this is a display-only field for teams already running the
Livetracking system.
WHAT IT SHOWS
The data field renders a short, pre-formatted line, for example:
P3 +0:15 -0:22 #17
Typically this is your position, the gap ahead, the gap behind and
your race number. The content is assembled entirely on the sender
side – race control decides what appears, the data field passes it
through unchanged. Group sizes and gaps between groups can be shown
in the same way.
SETUP
1. Add the data field to a data screen
2. Switch on the tracker and bring it within range
3. The connection is established automatically
The app settings allow an optional tracker ID (e.g. t1, t2). Leave
it empty and the data field binds to the first tracker it finds. An
entry forces one specific tracker – useful when several bikes are
parked next to each other.
STATUS DISPLAY
Until data arrives, the field shows connection progress: INIT,
SCAN, FOUND, CONN, SUB ok. If no tracker is found after roughly 60
seconds, "kein Tracker" appears. NO BLE means Bluetooth is not
available on the device.
NOTES
- No values are recorded or written to the activity
- No internet and no phone connection required
- No position or user data is collected or transmitted
- The connection runs directly between Edge and tracker
Supported devices: Edge 540, Edge 840
