Project Summary

Droid Technologies developed a C-based system to read and translate serial RS-232/RS-485 data from diverse scoreboard systems for a sports-technology company. They built protocol translation and graphics/data scoring outputs, prepared integrations for multiple vendors, and provided live, after-hours support and reverse-engineering where needed. The client reports high satisfaction, improved code and data management, and strong availability.

Key Challenges

  • Client’s in-house developers were all busy and additional development resources were required
  • Need to support and translate many different serial protocols from various scoreboard manufacturers
  • Limited access to customer systems (only during games) requiring live, after-hours support and reverse engineering

Project Deliverables

  • Serial-data integration system for RS-232 and RS-485 scoreboards
  • Protocol translation module producing graphics output or data scoring
  • Integration support to work with multiple scoreboard vendors
  • Small web interface for scoreboard data
  • Live deployment and after-hours support

Project Solution

Development was done in C to read serial data over RS-232 and RS-485 and handle multiple scoreboard protocols. Together with the client, they built a system that translates serial data into different formats including graphics output and data scoring, and they prepared the system to work with many scoreboard vendors. The team also provided live, after-hours support during deployments and performed reverse engineering when needed. A small web interface was developed briefly to present scoreboard data.

Project Outcome

  • Client very satisfied and regards the partnership as one of their best
  • Improved handling of code and data management for scoreboard systems
  • Reliable availability including late hours and weekends led to smooth deployments
  • Successful integration with multiple scoreboard vendors and stable live systems
