This Wiki provides on-line help to PiRcube SPOT users. You will find on this page an introduction to the software and a table of contents with all available features. Most of the help pages are directly and contextually accessible from the application pages.

The documentation is divided into several sections :

• PiRcube SPOT, what is it ?
   
• Discover PiRcube SPOT using the DEMO race
   
• Documentation for fanciers
   
• Documentation for club managers
   
• Pages of the PiRcube SPOT application

PiRcube SPOT is first a clocking announcements ranking and geolocation service. The fancier can subscribe to a race and comes to a Google Earth map where he can introduce the clocking times of his pigeons. Announcements of all participating fanciers are geolocalized. A ranking table is displayed and refreshed automatically.

PiRcube SPOT provides also an race schedule management interface for the clubs. Club managers can introduce the full race schedule of their club. That schedule becomes publicly available on the Internet. They can also choose among their schedule which of the races will become SPOT races, means races opened to spot announcements.

For what price ?

PiRcube SPOT is free.

To evaluate the ranking and geolocation service, a new iteration of a fictional race on Limoux is started every odd hour. This demo is a two hour simulation, each time different, of clocking announcements introduced by fictional fanciers. You can subscribe to the race and introduce your own fictional clocking times. After two hours, the race will be closed and a new iteration will start.
