The Ubidium system has a USB-A and a USB-C port. Both ports can be used to download/upload data to the device and to connect external peripherals like a keyboard. The USB-C port can also be used to connect to the Ubidium for timing.

Connecting a flash drive

When a flash drive is connected to either USB port, you will be prompted with the message below, telling you that settings have been copied to the drive.

Note: When connecting a flash drive, only the FAT32 file system is supported! If the wrong file system is used, the system will not recognize the drive.

Downloading Passings

Once a flash drive is connected, all passing files will be copied to the drive. While the flash drive remains connected, any new passings generated for the current file will continue to sync to the drive. On the passing information screen, you will see a message at the bottom showing a USB drive is connected.

System Settings

A flash drive can also be used to copy Ubidium settings from one device to another. See Settings for more information on this process.

Timing Connection

The USB-C connection can be used to connect to your system for timing. Using a data capable USB-C to USB-C cable, connect one end to your computer's USB-C port and the other to the Ubidium USB-C port. With the Race Result Web Server running, you will see the system appear in the Timing tab of RR14 like you would any other system connection.

USB Keyboard

A USB keyboard can be connected to the system using either USB port to navigate the system and enter values for various settings. Use the arrow keys to move through screens and the F1–F4 keys to select the corresponding menu buttons (F1 for the top menu, F4 for the bottom). To return to a previous screen, press the Backspace key.
