What is SI-Droid Event?
SI-Droid Event is an app that makes it possible to arrange simple orienteering events with SportIdent without having to bring a computer for the SICard readout. Just bring your mobile phone or tablet instead plus an SI Master and you are ready to readout the results from the runners cards.
The SI Master is connected directly to the device with an USB OTG (On the Go) cable that can be easily found in many electronic or mobile phone stores for less than €10. Here are some examples: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/field-keywords=usb%20otg%20cable. The app also has support for some serial-to-USB converters if you want to connect to an SI Master with a serial interface.
If you have a Bluetooth receipt printer available, you can also print the split times of the runners when they are being readout. From China/Ebay it is possible to buy a cheap printer for about €50.
NOTE: There also exist a Lite version of SI-Droid Event which has some limitations. Please start with installing that version to make sure that your device is capable of communicating with the SI Master. Most of the newer devices supports this but there can be exceptions. More information about which devices and printers that are supported can be found on the web site: http://www.joja.se
Comments and Reviews
This is a really clean app, most of its functionality is structured with intuitive design. For setup and downloading of results with Sportident, it is fantastic. I can process results as quickly as participants want to download. The app supports preloading of event competitors and pre-assigned SI sticks (cards), as well as preloading of courses. It saves me from the need to lug around a laptop!
