TangoDelta Setup and Configuration Below
In order to configure the server to read input from the TangoDelta device, you have to edit the director.conf file.
Friendly Reminder: Note that there are two ways to setup the TangoDelta, either use “normal” or “hybrid” mode.
1A. Normal mode scoreboard device setup
In this mode, we explicitly disable the readers to avoid any conflicts between inputs. This is usually how we connect all the score devices
In director.conf, add the following lines:
1B. Hybrid scoreboard device setup (for LNB)
In Hybrid mode we do NOT disable the readers because they will be used as a backup source.
The way this works, is by always using the TangoDelta and only switch to OCR in the following cases:
TangoDelta stops sending data.
TangoDelta sends non-readable data.
Because we rely on the OCR in case of issues, they will have to be calibrated at all times!
2. Firewall setup (not necessary anymore)
This step should not be considered any longer as TangoDelta firewall rules have been globally whitelisted and there is no need to add them manually.
Open required communication ports for TangoDelta in the firewall is listed below (No longer necessary).
Here is what you need to add in the /home/setup/config/custom_firewall_rules.sh file on the server
Then launch
If that file does not exist, create it with:
Troubleshooting - What does the TangoDelta data look like?
As of 12/03/2021, this is the documentation for TangoDelta and the information is listed below.
1.2Data LayerTangodelta system continuously writes messages to the data link every 400ms.
There are only one type ofmessage, providing different information.

How to enable extra scoreboard network logs?
If you wish to capture extra logs, you can edit the director.conf within webadmin and add the following XML block inside of it.
For every new recording, this will create or overwrite the file “/home/keeadmin/TangoDeltaNetwork_debug”
Example of this within director.conf
// ...#define SCOREBOARDLINK SBL_MODE_TANGODELTA// ...#ifdef SCOREBOARDLINK<ConfigureFilterName="sbl"><PropertyName="DebugLogFilename">TangoDeltaNetwork_debug</Property></ConfigureFilter>#enfif// ...
How to detect if we receive data from TangoDelta?
Run the following command:
|
This will show the TangoDelta network input in real time and should look something like this:
If no output is shown, this means we did not receive data from the TangoDelta.
This can happen within the means below:
TangoDelta device is offline.
TangoDelta device is sending data to the wrong IP. (The arena might have changed IP)
TangoDelta is on the wrong network.
How to detect which source is being used during a live?
During a live game, all scoreboard related information is written to
In that file, the following characters can be “grepped” for a clearer overview :
-->: input (What is read/received by either OCR/SVM/TANGODELTA)<--: output (What will be sent to the score bar)READER |: Analysis information about a source value (OCR or SVM)DEVICE |: Analysis information about a source value (Scoreboard device)
Example output shown below:
How to disable the TangoDelta input?
In case of issues with the TangoDelta, we can manually discard the data with the command listed below:
In case of a “Hybrid setup” (see 1B). This command will allow the OCR data to be used to populate the score bug.
