How it works
The PC is not directly connected to the LapMonitor
A phone/tablet is connected at the same time using bluetooth to the LapMonitor and to a PC that run the race management software (Zround for exemple)
The tablet/phone act as a gateway to translate LapMonitor language to AMB protocol in order that the race management software understand the lap information received
