It is provided to support the article in the March 2012 edition of
RadCom but will be expanded later to give further information on
the OPORCON
eTiming system.
Below are links to my software code, originated by 9A5SP and
modified
by G3ZOI.

Please be aware this software is 'work-in-progress',
but it has been used successfully on a number of RSBG ARDF events.
PIC Software for the fox location
control box.
This is written in Mikroelektronika BASIC
(free to use
, with a very generous program size limitation.)
n.b.in this environment, the source code does include all the compiler
directives for the PIC type, this are defined in the 'project settings'
i.e. Use Device P16F628, Frequency 4.194304 MHz

MS Windows Software for the downloading
from iButton.
This is written in Delphi. All library files are included.
If you keep them together in one project folder. Delphi
should run and compile the code without further configuration.
Dephi 6 & 7 should run under Windows Vista and above - just ignore
the error dialogue messages when first loaded.
The current software version requires the ini file and the exe file to
be in the same folder, then the output files are created in the same
(event) folder.
The main source file is raydelun.pas.
The output files are
- [eventname].log - this is a compilation of individual competitor
results, as they would appear on a printed results ticket.
- [eventname].kor - this is a 'correction file' which can be read
by the FjwW
program for results analysis and web publishing. (see below for
examples)
The .pas file also has code (commented out) to output in OR format,
but I regret I can't remember how well that works !!!

Examples of results using iButton, and then published using FjwW here.
happy punching !
