Getting Started
The 8-way has been designed to be used by anyone interested in timing an FPV racing event, without
special skills.
1) Apply power, and install in the start/finish gate.
2) Hook up the Ethernet cable to either a network, or a direct connection to the timing PC
3) Set an appropriate IP address using the built-in OLED display.
a) If used on a network, reserve a static address for the LapRF
b) If a direct connection is used, set an address compatible with the static IP address of
the timing PC.
e.g. If the timer is on 192.168.1.9, place the PC on 192.168.1.1
4) Ping the LapRF using the Windows command line to ensure that it is reachable
ping 192.168.1.9
5) Start up Livetime FPV on the windows PC, and follow the Livetime instruction manual for how
to setup the LapRF.
For an overview of the gain and threshold settings, please refer to the LapRF Personal Edition
manual. For 25mW races, values of 59 and 800 respectively are generally suitable, and don’t need
tweaking during the event.
