Best way to connect mulitple Ergs for a regatta
Posted: March 12th, 2008, 10:03 pm
I'd like to connect up to 20 machines for an indoor regatta. I've seen the Crash-B ergs on the internet, and a race from Europe. I've downloaded the PDF file for setting up ergs, but it leaves too much information out for the wiring diagram to connect mulitple machines. It does offer some insite about USB and WIRED, but it needs better information to connect the wiring.
I'd like to WIRE the ergs together, because there is an advantage to the wiring system from what I've read.
Has anyone a little better information? I'd like to wire 20 machines or more if possible, to a PC. Then Í'd like to use an overhead projector system to show racing in progress and race results.
What I found was too many people in and around the competitors during the indoor regatta making it difficult to not only run the regatta but for the fans wanting to watch the competiton. I'd like to expand the viewership and possibly draw local news people and media to televise the competition.
Our sport needs to expand its viewership, as well as entice new potential athletes. Indoor rowing may offer something to a new person willing to try out. We all know when we get onto the water our sport falls flat on its face because of its size of field. Media don't like our waterways because of its size, its not easy to cover a regatta as compared to a basketball game. And people become bored waiting for the race to come to them from 2000 meters away.
At least we can during the winter months offer some sort of entertainment to the crowd as too what we do on the water.
