FPV Race Timing and Event Management
See the RotorHazard YouTube channel for livestreams and videos featuring the race timer.
RotorHazard is an open-source multi-node radio frequency race timing system for FPV drone
racing, with event management. It uses 5.8GHz video signals broadcast by
drones to trigger lap times. Each node in the timer box listens on a specified frequency
and communicates times to a server component (running on a Raspberry Pi). The server also
manages a front-end interface, which any device on the same network can
connect to via a web browser. See the GitHub page for documentation and more information.
