Loading the Setup and Main Programs

The program for the Master unit is on the 16MEG SD card.

Put the SD in the slot and go to settings/system/backup utility.

Select Restore, click open storage card.

The Ipaq will then set itself up with all the programs, files and settings.

Load the setup program by pressing the bottom right hand button. See screen shot

The defaults are okay to start with but you will need to put a '1' in the double zero box if you want to play a double zero wheel.

Also you must put a ***** in the security box – failure to do this will result in the main program not loading.

Press the Enter data button to write the information to file.

To test the device and to practice, you need a reference spin. Video a spin which is easy to clock – slowish rotor (about 3 seconds) and a solid drop from a deflector which then dead drops into the wheel.

This is regarded as a perfect spin and the device should predict it perfectly if you are doing everything correctly. If you find that you are out by the same number of slots consistently, it's likely that you have a worn wheel with considerable rotor speed decay. Check by clocking six revolutions with a stopwatch and comparing the speed of each revolution.

Plug a key into the socket at the bottom of the Ipaq, there are three holes, you plug the key into the two closest to the front, it is marked with two arrows. See screen shot

Load the main program by pressing the key once. See screen shot

The program will say "ready" when it is fully loaded.

Using the Main Program Software

If you hold the key down it will scroll through a menu. I have removed the first three options for the time being so when you hold the key down it will beep for the first three options.

Option Four will say "reverse". This is for an anticlockwise wheel spin. It will revert to clockwise for the next spin. If you are playing a wheel with permanent anticlockwise spin you should select anticlockwise in the setup menu. This one is for Australian wheels that change direction every spin.

Option Five says "shutdown". This is if you need to unload the program to reset it. The program will unload; you reload by pressing the key as before. This option is useful if you want to load defaults.

Option SIx says “please wait” This sends a “please wait” message to the slave. This option is used to let the bettor know not to bet if the clocker is calibrating or evaluating a wheel.

Option Seven says “okay". This sends a “you are connected" message to the slave. If the slave receives it, it responds with the same message. If the devices are connected you will hear “okay” followed by “you are connected”. If you don’t get the “you are connected" message back it means the two devices are not paired for some reason. If the devices become unpaired (this happens when they get out of range) they will automatically pair up if you use option five to unload and then reload.

Option eight says “calibrate”. This puts the device into calibration mode.

To calibrate the device

Pick a spot on the rim where the ball drops more than any other - the drop-point.

Clock the ball every time it passes the drop-point. When the device captures a spin that is within the lower and upper tolerance band (the sweet-spot) it will give a high pitched beep. Don’t clock any more spins. The next time you will press the button is just as the ball drops into the slot. The device will then say “calibration complete”. If you are testing against a reference spin that should be it. Now you are ready to predict.

Predicting

Clock zero as it passes the drop-point then do it again as it comes round to complete one revolution. The rotor is now clocked. Clock the ball as it passes the drop-point. As soon as you capture the sweet-spot the device will predict the number. As the ball is about to drop into the rotor the device will say “now”.

If the device is not saying “now” at the correct time then there are a couple of possibilities;

The rotor is decaying significantly; this is easy to check with a stop watch.

Now, if you have a significantly decaying rotor you can still play it by adjusting for the decay. You need the rotor to be spinning fairly consistently if you are going to adjust for decay. You can adjust for decay in two ways;

Simply shorten the time-to-drop in the setup program or for this session only you can do it by entering the value in the box and pressing the data key.

Another way to adjust for rotor decay is to simply clock X number of slots before the drop-point. This is how I do it on the fly. If the rotor is not decaying and the device is not saying “now” at the right time then you should re-calibrate until it does.

You should be able to predict the correct number every time with the reference spin(s).

You can see then that under ideal conditions you will own the casino in a couple of weeks. As conditions become less than ideal then obviously the advantage will fall away.

Unloading the Program

Holding the key down past option eight - “calibrate” performs the following actions;

It sends a command to the slave to unload its program and to make it un-reloadable.

It then shuts itself down and writes a **** as the security number. Once a *****” is written to file the program will not load until a ***** has been written to the file by using the setup program and changing the ***** to a ****.

Once the program is unloaded in this way you should press the upper left hand button on the Ipaq to load the Mpeg player. Press it again to begin playing. Now when you press the clock key it will load another song.

At the beginning of every session you should press the upper right hand key on the Ipaq. This runs a program that shuts down all programs in memory; you should see a screen showing “Closing all programs”. If this screen doesn’t appear, press the button again until it does.
