Share My Creation JG Squash Score Board 2.0

Ok, this is my 2nd app.

It's functions quite nicely, but I've got larger plans for it. Including bluetooth connectivity to a arduino and 2x 20chars lcd display to update scores in real time.

Instruction;
Android, grab the file and install it.

Long click on buttons allows you to edit individual names.
Single click increments score, games, etc...
Spinner allow you to choose which side you serve on.

Scoring is Point a Rally, 5 matches in a set.

Still working on a few things...

I think you are not doing the scaling properly, look at how your app looks on my EVO 4G LTE phone and my Nexus 7 tab, everything is too small and off center, and on my old EVO 4G phone it doesn't display the whole screen.

Hi, I designed it to fit my phone. I'll be looking at scaling it for other devices too.
I also designed it off centre, I'll be putting a few more buttons on the right hand side.

Thanks for the feedback, there is more work to be done on the app.

New update.

Fixed default serve side to right, added choice button (switch serve side to the left).
Added history of sets.
Added bluetooth connectivity...
Added admobs - like to keep the app free

Need to work on dashboard :-

Changed my mind, dashboard will run on a composite or hdmi monitor.
Ideally dashboard will run from a raspberry pi, with a bluetooth dongle.

Basically I'll be transmitting about 2 lines of 30 characters to update the scoreboard.
Need to connect to serial port (via bluetooth), monitor incoming data and parse that nicely into a display.

I think my best bet is to use python with pyserial, but I'm looking at it. (Could use some help here).

I have some python code useable on a Windows box that you might be able to port to another device.

#Python code
import serial, os, string, math
#Serial Data Input with save file
ser = serial.Serial(port='COM2',baudrate=9600,bytesize=8, parity="N",stopbits=1,timeout=200,xonxoff=0, rtscts=0, interCharTimeout=None)

ser.write(2)

#whilenot(line.startswith("wait or idle here for data")):

logfile = open('test.log","w")
i=0
while i < 200 : #Or number of data points
     line= ser.readline()
     if (line.starts with ("Data")):
         print line
         line = ser.readline()
         print line
         line = ser.readline()
         print line
         ser.close
#      logfile.close()
         break
else: logfile.write(line)
print line
i=i+1

ser.close()
logfile.close()

Hope this helps.
Tom

Thanks, that's a start.

I have to get python up and running on a rasperberry pi. I guess I can use tkinter to display some sort of gui dashboard.

 

[merlin2049er]

Do you recommend any serial port data emulator?

I found this...
http://com-port-data-emulator.software.informer.com/

 

[Tom Christman]

Sure that would work, or you can use a windows pc and a terminal emulator such as PuTTY or Tera Term. If you have a Windows version older than Vista you can use the built-in HyperTerminal in Accessories.

 

[merlin2049er]

Oh, I'm so stupid... I just thought of something that I've already finished.

I'll be developing another basic4android app that will just display the scoreboard itself for spectators. I'm developing it for a 10" portrait tablet.

Makes my job so much easier. I thought I had to jump thru loops.

 

[merlin2049er]

More updates -

I've added violations button, which pops up a panel and allows the ref to select the player from a spinner, and the violation from the 2nd spinner then populated the listview. - and award a point if the violation is a "CS" - Conduct Stroke and loss of serve.

Added a timer which counts up in 1 minute increments, automatically stops the timer after the game end. Displays total time of the set when it's over in the history (along with the score).

I've added a undo button - which toasts a message saying "Available in Pro Version" - I'll need to figure out how to deal with lists or arrays or hire a "Pro" programmer. - this frustrated me last night for a while (then I put it on the back burner).

Still working on using streaming text to the other paired android tablet.

 

[merlin2049er]

Sweet, just found this on kickstarter...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ble-bluetooth-led-display-system?ref=category

I'd need a larger display if displaying out to an led matrix.

 

[merlin2049er]

Almost nearing completion; I've worked on the scoreboard side, enabling the use of multiple fonts (default, and 3 others) - custom toast message(s).
Will add live wallpaper in the pro version.

I need approximately 30 minutes to discuss with someone how to implement asyncstreamtext - send me a private IM with a your rate and availability.
Sending text from one app and receiving text in the other app. Once messages are being sent I can figure out what to do with the rest.

Then you can invoice me thru paypal for your time.
