You can download “scorer-starter-kit-for-rp3_2017-07-27r2.zip” from our site: http://downloads.scorer.jp/sdk.html 

 

What’s new in the update 3.x (3.0, 3.1 and 3.2):

  1. Performance/stability improvements and bug fixes for SCORER system
  2. New features
  3. New functions, and problem fixes for SCORER Starter(SS)
  4. New functions, general improvements, and problem fixes for SCORER Camera Control(SCC)
  5. New functions for SCORER Management Console(SMC)

 In this chapter, we will go over 1, 2, and 3 from above list.

1.Performance/stability improvements and bug fixes for SCORER system

  • Improved the performance/stability of a Raspberry Pi by optimizing resource allocation to avoid memory depletion
  • You can now use an SD card across multiple Raspberry Pi without any need to re-register at SS.
  • Tweaked parameter for smoother and faster recording and streaming HD videos/pictures
  • Faster rendering of device names in the “Device List” on SS

 

2. New features

  • Preinstalled Hubot

Hubot helps you remotely control your Raspberry Pi by typing in commands in chat tools like Slack. We are planning to provide Hubot sample code for SDK in near future

  • Introducing the SCORER Drive

 With in-app purchase, you can subscribe unlimited storage space for logs/movies/pictures for maximum duration of one year. Price will vary from duration of subscription. 

  • Data will not be deleted by ‘SCORER initialization process at SMC’(*)

 After initialization at SMC, you can re-register at SS and still be able to access the old data 

* Here are steps to initializing Raspberry Pi at the SMC:

  1. Login to SMC
  2. At initial page, click the thumbnail of Raspberry Pi that you want to initialize
  3. Click trash can icon in bottom right corner
  4. Click “DELETE” at confirm window

  • Setting static IP address

 You can set static IP addresses for your Raspberry Pi. Note, this function is only available on wired LAN connection. Here are steps(premise: your Raspberry Pi is not registered at SS and is connected to SS over BLE)

  1. Login to SS
  2. At the “Device List” screen, tap name of the Raspberry Pi of your choice
  3. At the “Menu” screen tap “Connect to Network”
  4. At the “Connect to the network” screen, tap “Wired LAN”
