ArrowPoint for Android
The ArrowPoint for Android Solution is an Android App designed to receive and display telemetry information from an WiFi access point in real time. It is a very useful tool in a race environment as every team member can have a copy installed on their own phone or tablet and get instant insights in to the performance of the vehicle.
The out of the box implementation is designed for use in Solar or Electric racing cars that use technology from Prohelion or Tritium. This solution was originally developed by TeamArrow and has been used in racing environments since 2015. TeamArrow continue to use this application both as the in car dashboard as well as a solution for the entire fleet to communicate and monitor the car.
